I have reviewed the preceding posts in this thread (some more carefully than others), and these are my thoughts:
  1. I will be OK with whatever the ultimate decision is. It's fun just to be racing again.
  2. As is probably obvious, I like racing more than socializing and eating, and I prefer racing with people who are invested in racing. I also don't like to sit around for 2 hours to race for 9 minutes. Luckily, I LIKE to turn marshal.
  3. I don't like IROC, never have. To me, building and/or preparing a car is part of what makes racing fun, and crashing, breaking cars, blowing motors, etc., is kind of what racing actually is. That being said, if I ever build a car that is fast enough to use, I don't care who uses it or whether it gets destroyed, as long as I can destroy one of Chris' cars, too.
    A. Whatever happens, I think there should be a season concours d'elegance to encourage and reward those who enjoy building pretty cars.
  4. I think points races should be limited to one or two classes for the season. It's hard enough to test and develop cars without something new to prepare every month.
  5. I think the rules should be rules, not guidelines. They should be clear and concise and consistent across classes. (By consistent, I mean everything should be in millimeters or decimal inches or fractional inches or fathoms, but it should be the same everywhere.
   A. If there are universal rules, i.e. all cars in all classes must have a uniform ground clearance; then there should be a "universal rule" section that contains all the universal rules.
  6. I am in favor of the points series continuing and I am in favor of it being on odd Thursdays. My main issue with the monthly weekend events is not "serious racers vs. nonserious racers," it's about how little time is spent actually racing. And if you have 25 people racing on a 3-lane track, there isn't much you can do about that.
  I may have more thoughts later, but it's bed time.
