The question of tracks is a very good one Eric and it should be discussed. The way the club is set up is that the Track chair with help from the Speed council make the schedule for coming year. That said, the President has little input to that process at this time.
As President, I would request to be an integral part of that selection process. Mike Andrews and Tom Zaffarano have done a super job planning, selecting and booking tracks thus far. However, with Thunderbolt and Lightening on our doorstep, does it make more sense to book there vs. say Summit, Shanendaoh, Jefferson, Pocono? You must also take cost into consideration as we can't have our DE events losing money each time o/w there won't be money for picnics, meetings, Holiday parties and so forth.
Good question Eric. As President, I will ask again to be part of the track selection committee next year to understand and contribute to the track selections in '09.
