It seems half of these races have been canceled this year. Maybe who ever makes the schedule should look at all the other races going on first.
Let's just be clear here. The Tampa races are in limbo because of their pond situation, not bad scheduling. Think it's easy to schedule 6 races each year? 11 District races mean pretty much 1 each month. In order not to be on top of those races, you must schedule WCRA in between by 2 weeks. Pretty much limits your choice to 12 days out of the year. Now look at how many fall on holidays, Mother's day, Father's day, Easter, Joe Blow's birthday, etc.,etc., Then the other big races that many want to go to, WTC, Atlanta, Charleston, Nats of several types, now STORM, and maybe you can begin to understand that it's just not that simple to come up with a schedule to make everyone happy.
Give Steve a chance, he will once again attempt to get all parties together to try to come up with the best possible schedule for 2011.
The bigger question is that we need to encourage EVERYONE to attend these races regardless of where they are held.
