Well well well.....
I have some experience in this conversation so let me add my .02.
For sure I could go back into my email archives and share no less than 10+ emails between Mike Devin and I of which this thread was the very subject matter.
As the Chief Steward at the time I complained and gave options on how to put the problems to bed on issues such as brake rotors, combo cars, carbon fiber, travel, California cars arriving in Indiana with missing seals, etc. I even had a three year plan similar to the one I read in this thread. It always fell on deaf ears. The sticking the head in the sand attitude and the lack of vision going into the future were two of the motivating factors of why I walked from USAC after 11 years.
I am of the opinion that it is better late than never. It took the entire tenure of the previous series coordinator to do absoultely nothing about these problems and run the program into the ground. And it has taken the current coordinator James Spinks about 6 months to not only get the ear of Kevin, Jason and Jason but he got the rules changed. (Assuming it was James who got it done.)
Regardless of who is responsible....kudos to USAC for finally addressing a problem so big that even Ray Charles could see it. :thumb
Let's just hope it's not to late.
