I would like to step in and say that if you look back, POWRI has been running this race the first Saturday of October since at least 2008, with the exception of 2010 when it co-sanctioned the Gold Crown. Last year the Gold Crown moved to the second weekend and this year, it was the Gold Crown's decision to move the race up a week, not POWRI's decision to schedule on top of it. I'm by no means taking sides but the facts speak for themselves. Believe me, I'm not happy with the two races being scheduled against eachother within 25 miles of one another, but to blast POWRI isn't the answer either. I wish the two parties could work this out more than anyone as I love seeing a great car count and spectator support for my mom's race, but sometimes things just don't happen the way we all would like.
