This is about like going to the old rules meetings but a lot more fun. I kinda of like sitting in this old office chair and pounding keys, beats the hell out of sitting in a folding chair wondering how much longer.

I do sometimes wonder about these rules. Most of the rules you read today started here in Indiana over 20 years ago. When a bright young man wanted to start a series he would just call Jerry at AMSA and get old Jerry to mail them a copy of his rules they did not have computers back then. Then copy down the rules put their name at the top and they were in business. Electronc injection, 1000cc super motors adjustable shocks, mechanical injection retrofits, and DYNO DOCTORS did not exist back then.

You were and are about as close as we are going to get to a national rule right now. PPOUTLAW wants quick changes because he has a sand@chain thing. Bill May wants to let 3/4 midgets, Kenyon midgets run with us because we have a bunch of them around us. There is a guy up in Mtpelier Indiana that wants to run a series with "FULL" midgets and mini-sprints together. IF he kinda of plays it by ear and does his handicapping right this might and could be the hot set up for the future. We have a bunch of old midgets around here and several minisprints also. The guys out in Il. seem to be doing something right because they do have a real good program.

We need to take what we got make the most out of it and have fun. Stop worring about making this a national thing because it will always be regional. We aint never going to be USAC and we probably don't want to be either.

If any one wonders in off the road I'm sure that after consulting with his racers Bill will let them run with us and would hope it would also hold true with you other guys.

Every time you sit down and make a rule to make thing cheap it always ends up costing more. Look at Washington D.C. Their hearts are in the right place but they keep their heads in the dark stinky place, and we have more regulations than we can afford all under the pretense of making things better for everybody.

Keep the rules simple get rid of the filler bull rules. Keep things fair for everyone don't change the rules whenever the race is over or the wind blows a different direction let the racer know in advance what to expect. Every body needs to either love the race director or every body needs to hate the race director it wont work half and half.

We might do that some day PPOUTLAW but not as long as old Bill May is around.
