i posted this somewhere else, so thought i would post it up here. i submitted it to 2 lucas folks a short time ago. any thoughts? mr. lucas, here is what i'd like to see happen.. 1. Create a Western Region Championship series, to include the three (3) Western Region National Events, plus 3 divisional races. (include western promods in this too). Two separate, but connected schedules, that do not include "throw aways". Western racers can pick one or the other to follow, whoever has the most points at the end wins. Schedule A would include the following races (NJBA friendly): a. Firebird Opener - (March or April?) (Lucas National Event) b. NJBA, March Ming race (or April; alternate month from firebird opener). c. NJBA, May Ming race. d. CDBA, July Dexter race e. San Diego, September race (Lucas National Event) f. Firebird Finals (Lucas National Event) Schedule B would include the following races (CDBA friendly): a. Firebird Opener – (March or April?) (Lucas National Event) b. NJBA, March Ming race (or April, alternate month from firebird opener). c. CDBA, June Dexter race. d. CDBA, July Dexter race e. San Diego, September race (Lucas National Event) f. Firebird Finals (Lucas National Event) I have tons of logic and justifiable reasoning for this, but no reason to write all those pages. i think this is not only doable by lucas, but would create some excitement out west, while supporting 2 clubs. also, it doesn't force anyone to make the texas tow... thoughts???

From the view here in San Diego not too bad, Bob. I liked the Texas hospitality but won't miss the 23 hour drive. Also, although its 18 plus hours to Oregon , I really enjoyed that race last year. The scenery along the way beats the southern trip hands down. Am I reading the jan 10 lucas release correctly. It will be as you propose except we will not have to go to Oregon at all? Only five races should tighten up the points spread. You gonna give some one else a chance at the 10 second class?

hey chuck, missed ya at the banquet. i think jeremy liked that plaque, so you may have a hard time getting it back. ken dollar spoke at the pre-banquet meeting, and, among other things, said he would be creating "division" type schedules for sportsmen/bracket racers. hopefully, we'll see something over the next month or so. i mentioned this proposal to him after the meeting so perhaps they'll look at it. o, and everybody has a chance in m.e., just like the rest of the sportsmen/brackets. i'm just an old guy, happy to be competitive... .
