Its "skrool" not "skool" and I'll be happy to haul your nascar to the track in my trailer as long as I get to drive the racecar.

Seriously though; I haven't been around as long as most of you have been racing so filter my thoughts with that in mind. I think the midget organizations are being run the way they are simply because "that's the way we've always done it." (I cringe when I hear people say that too.) I don't think there's any conspiracy or malicious acts taking place, its merely the organizations are being run in 2009 just as they were in 1955. One of the race sanctioning bodies I am involved with has had a major leadership change and moved from a midget car owner as president to a marketing agent as the new leader. He has implemented some changes that made some happy and some unhappy. I am going to give him another year or two before I pass any judgment on him though. I am not saying I won't write him with criticism in the mean time; I am just willing to be patient and let him lay out his plan.


The reason your health plan has to be laid out so simply perfect is more than likely the law, not from the goodness of the directors of the organization.


Tony B. could (should) teach a seminar to race promoters about how to do it right. I am not knocking any particular promoter; but stating everyone could learn something from the way he and his staff works to include the entire community in the events.
