Wow! This is starting to sound like we have to make all these tough decisions (to race or not, to keep relatives/friendships alive etc.) on our own. Life is getting kinda scary!
I agree. Evan meant not to belittle folks. He sees that events must be supported to continue and he understands as well that people do have other lives. He was just making a point (that is so easily misunderstood with this mode of communication) that what he had just done was alot of fun and everyone should have so much fun. I think Evan is one of the most positive forces in OBRA. But all of are as well.
See ya all at the next race you or I attend.

Originally, there also was the Larch Mtn Hillclimb, which Ernie cancelled due to the conflict. This year has had a lot of schedule conflicts, which in some ways is a good problem to have if you like to have a lot of races and variety, but it does kill attendence. Almost every weekend track race conflicts with a road event. AVC has a conflict on both Saturday and Sunday.
