Additionally, I feel that the rough and decaying Beech lot is no longer  a 
safe driving surface and I fear someone in a high CG car is going to catch a  
sidewall on a rough spot and flip.


It would most likely be one of those Corvairs...They rollover  parked in the 
garage.
 
I've only been to one autox this year. I can't say that I'm attending out  of 
the region events, it's not that exciting. I have just been busy getting  
caught up on some house projects. I've also been busy prepping my car for the  
national Corvair convention in Detroit this July (yes, there are lots of us  
crazies out there). I'll be participating in my first track event at Waterford  
Hills. BTW I'm also looking forward to touring GM show car collection at their  
Heritage Center.
 
To get back on the subject....A few rhetorical questions...What is the REAL  
damage? How many members are going to the conflicting events? 5? Is that a  
significant financial impact? Does it impact the fun the participants are having 
 at either event?
 
I think the bigger concern should be the status of the current venues. As  
Kevin as mentioned, the Beech is really getting bad despite the improvement to  
the trench. GHP is very large but the surface there was also developing some  
pretty large cracks. That may be moot after the casino/slot machine vote in 
Aug.  Strother isn't too bad, especially since the patches. I like the drive 
down  there and usually get to make plenty of runs.
 
I really hope that Greg can get the pad built. My guess is that funding  will 
be the biggest hang up. There are some creative ways to get that done  
though. Seems like Lake Afton might be a good place to build it. That would  be a 
fantastic asset for the region.
