Was talking with Glenn and he said it was just announced.

Randy, tomes can be written in answer to your question. But briefly, some classes are better represented than others in various regions. Moving the Nationals to a more westerly venue will see a change in fields for some classes.

How does Griggs bringing a car to SCCA events point to a problem with NASA? Griggs ran in AI for a number of years, and did quite well. There was disagreement whether they brought a good element to the paddock or not. For whatever reason, they no longer field cars in AI.

While we're talking about AI, they had a good showing at Nationals.

No...I did not mean that Griggs car coming to the SCCA events meant anything about NASA....other than it was the ONLY NASA car I have seen in a while, and the driver mentioned to me he did not like the "lack of competition" (his words) at the NASA events he had been to. That and Griggs is a NASA guy.....he himself tried to recruit me to NASA a few years ago to boost the AIX numbers.....dunno.

I have just gotten used to SCCA bashing over the years and all the talk that NASA was a big, fat, happy, growing family that I was shocked to hear the low turnout news at the Nationals in the other thread and then hear some dissention talked of here....

Just wonderin' what is happening on the other side of the fence is all..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

And I have been meaning to ask what's up with AV8SS? - Griggs was at Infineon in June, same weekend as SCCA was at Laguna. I talked to Bruce briefly, wanted to ask him but thought better of it since it looked to me like the AV8SS/SCCA deal had fizzled.

CMC is going thru some growing pains...

AI is strong tho, I've got a hand in at least 4 new builds for 2009

I don't the the AV8SS/"SCCA" deal fell through. As far as I know they were all for it.....had the big shindig at the track last year to pump up folks and all at Griggs shop. But it is SCCA, and they don't typically champion classes. It was up to Miki and a couple of other people to push the series and get folks interested as I heard it.....

Either the push was not enough, or there was not enough interest to warrant the effort.....dunno......I haven't asked lately either.
