As for USAC we need to remember, as D.O. stated, that change was promised when the new regime assumed their positions Dec. 1st. "Right the ship" was a term used. The very nature of that job suggests that not all decisions made would be popular ones. This decision is incredibly unpopular. Let's just see where it goes and not let our emotions dictate our thinking.
Dwight,
Another excellent post. If we look back over the last couple of years it seems this board was full of people clamoring for change at USAC. Well change has arrived and I think back to a very wise person (my mother) who always told me to be careful what I wished for because it might come true. She also said that when change happens it might not always be the change we are looking for. All I can say is welcome the world for change.
I don't know Greg but I am sorry to hear that he will be leaving USAC. If what everyone is saying about him is true he will find an opportunity in the near future. Good guys are hard to come by.
Dwight sorry I didn't get to talk to you more at Brownstown. We were trying to find a good seat and when I looked over at the end of time trials you were gone. I will try to catch up here in the near future.
Mike
