-Pa Nitro Tour committee

[MWMOTORSPORTS21]

I am not a follower of the tour this year but I am a part of the group that maintains the Trains and Lanes track. I understand most people seem to want to just get the race over with but for me I think October will be a great alternative to run the race. I have too many personal commitments in the next few weeks to be able to help with the track maintenance and the next few weekends are definately out for me with family events and other activities planned. I hate the idea of Johnny, Phil and possibly Steve left to tend to the track without my help. I've been MIA enough this summer and August's schedule just doesn't work for me to assist with the club. October's date is a perfect fit for me and honestly I think it will be much more condusive to having the best possible track surface that time of year. Really guys, if it's a weather issue it's not that cold yet in early October. I agree that if the committee releases a date, that's when it should be. You can't please everyone. The date was chosen due to the track's other scheduled events and I think that the 12th is just too short notice for most racers to make arrangements to get there.

Like I said, I am not a tour racer this year but in my opinion and what I feel is best for all is to go with the October date. Plenty of time for the racers to pencil in the date. Too many people this time of year have vacations scheduled and school is coming fast for the kids also. Lots of things going on in August for lots of people. I agree that asking the racers opinions on subjects is an awesome idea. Shows the committee really cares what we think. But when a race has to be rescheduled, that is simply something that has to be done around the current schedule and they have offered a date with plenty of time for racers to make arrangements to attend.
