No problem. I've been doing a little math and we're crunching a plan to accommodate 120 cars at next years Motor State Challenge.

New and Old.

Remember that the new cars make pro-touring cars look good. The mid engined, two turbo Ultima finished 3rd overall on the road course behind a coupla Camaros. The highest finishing production new car was Billy Utley's WRX in 7th overall on the road course. The highest placing vette was well into the double digits.

No new cars? No data.

Run Thru The Hills has a serious space problem, but with the SCCA's help, can spread out pretty good at the Motor State Challenge.

I agree with the data support, but do not see where RTTH has a serious problem. Seems that Bill has a produced a very successful event otherwise it would not continue to grow. This hobby just has growing pains as we continue to grow. Its our one weekend to be some race driver that we never became. the hobby itself has evolved and adjustments have to be made to make the event successful, safe and competitive. There has to be certain standards and rules that carry over from each event otherwise we loose attendees because they can't afford to buy items, ie. tires to run with someone on a stickier tire than the 300's they have on their car now nor buy extra high dollar rims to put them on.

This is an event that is to cater to the backyard guy and not the guys who have money to spend for a professional build, even though they are also welcome and support needed. The event gets very expensive to attend, with travel, food, lodging and entrance fee. So we expect you guys to make the rules and adjustments that keeps this hobby affordable and fun.

I am sure that all the powers to be will work to make the right decisions and make adjustments as need be.I'm sure that this fourum will be used to get the general concenus and help with the decision making. So I encourage that all speak your minds so they will have some input. Steve you nor Bill have all the answers, but you both have a passion for it and are working to help it continue to be bigger and better. I am also sure that everyone won't be happy at whatever comes down, but you adjust and move on. I'm glad I'm not a powers to be...lol
