P-class racers,
Not that I am any expert on anything, but I have noticed that a great deal of us seem to follow and take racing VERY VERY passionately. Also as I am, many of you are very frustrated with items happening, and not happing, that we feel are very important within the APBA and specifically our class. (remember we do account for about half of the entries)
Many have mentioned it, but what I am proposing is that we all get together at a private setting for a short meeting to come up with a framework of items that we would like to have professionally addressed with the APBA and a appointed person, or persons, to do that.
Sense I live here in town(Ft Lauderdale), I could look into a venue to do that for the group at the Lauderdale race. Those of you not participating in that race could provide your input via letter or phone.
Seems to me that I have been hearing complaints about a number of items that need to be addressed within the APBA other than the latest uproar. Mabey if we could work together to address these nail biters, it would make larger items easier to focus on and deal with.
Teams let me know your thoughts via board, e-mail or phone. Think about it...... There are at least 15 P-teams that are on this board daily, and I'm sure that we all know several others teams very well that don't visit here that we could contact.
Just a thought....
Thanks
Dave

Sounds good...unfortunately, We arent going to make it to Ft Laud.
However, the one major factor that upset us was te fact that we were told, prior to the Milwaukee race, points counted toward national points standings. Then we get to Milwaukee, and are told points DO NOT count toward national standings. So, we dont go to Sarasota for that reason and find out after the Sarasota race, points DO count. WTF. that messed up our entire season.
Just one of my BEEFS. Im sure there are others that feel this way.
We will try to make ST Pete. We can get together there if you want. Or you guys can get together in Lauderdale and keep the rest of us posted.
Regards

Dave,
Keep pushing these guys to attend or at least let you know there gripps. We have got alot out of our meetings and it also brings the class closer as a group.
There's nothing wrong with bringing up new ideas to the powers to be.....majority rules.
Good luck.

Hey Guys -
Glad some of you are making Ft. Lauderdale.
If you give me a head count and time, I can set up
a meeting are for you.
The F1's are meeting around 4pm on Friday, I think...
I have a room for them.
I have a coach that you can use, if you take a head count
and get back to me.
As a reminder, if you are RACING in Ft. Laud, this Friday
is the deadline to submit your entry forms & payment
Make sure to do that and get back with me on the time
of your meeting.
