Well written post, TQ97! A lot of good points that you've brought up. I also believe that a lot of UMRA's issues stem from people not being consistent. I'm not sure why that is, but I know it's an issue and has been for a few years.

I am guessing that if Terry Goff were to retire, it wouldn't change everything. Yes, they're the main topic of everything, but there are still issues that have been going on for a few years. So, would adding a house cleaning help? Well, who knows, but it might be too late. I think that would almost leave UMRA and the new series on even ground, except the tradition that the UMRA name brings. People will wonder if this new series is for real, or will work. However, at the same time, people will be wondering if UMRA is really changed for the better. So, which one do they go with? I guess we'll find out!

I also have to say that Travis is a good guy and has worked his tail off for UMRA. However, he can't do it all, see first paragraph. All of the fault shouldn't go on his shoulders, for sure. He's gotten UMRA into a lot of tracks that wouldn't have happened, if not for him. I don't envy him being in that position, but wish him the best when he moves on.

Lastly, I don't think there's any question that it should be non-wing, Jon. The series in Illinois and Iowa hasn't raced with wings for a few years. You did bring up some other good points though, Jon.

That's all for now...
