An interesting angle, staggerman. If that is the case, the GLSS business model comes into question.
I am personally hoping the Butler business model is what drove this and they are just going to shoot for two big shows with the combination of SOD & GLSS.
On the up side, so far SOD & GLSS are only racing once on the same night in two different places - 6/16 at Merritt & Thunderbird respectively. Of course there are still more dates to be added by both sanctioning bodies. I say so far so good, Eric. Maybe I am just optimistic at this point, though.
