Butch, PCA did not supply any workers, Indy is an incredible operation, one like we have not experienced IMO. Track rental for 3 days for a non racing event was 100K for Racing, will be much more. Fantastic place.
Dave, I agree, I feel compelled to do all the events in the Northern conference but some of those will be sparsely attended. 3 of those events are 8 hr drives one way for me, The Drive times for our regionals is far less than doing the Majors, adding in the extra days for a Major makes it that much harder.
Also the way the structure is now, i think its far easier to qualify for the runoffs by way of the Major's track, 3 weekends 3 races and get 19 national points. vs, Regional 4 weekends and finish in the top 5 of your class. They obviously want you to do the majors.
