We go one of two ways;
 
1. I form the SWTA and go for it.
 
2. The SCTA jumps in and uses WSMR as another racing venue to help  offset 
the over crowded Speed Weeks and provide Non EM racers another  racing venue.
 
WSMR isn't plagued with a fragile climate like Bonneville. We would  NEVER 
have to worry about rain and the resulting floods. In 2005 when high tides  hit 
Bonneville and wiped out the year of racing, WSMR could have been used as  
backup.
 
My thoughts are run a meet at WSMR in July as a test and tune, licensing  
pass', shakedowns for new cars and setting class records at WSMR. We all know  
KT 
is foaming at the mouth for another Red Hat! LOL 
 
Also a meet in November so all the racers who got weathered out at  
Bonneville can vent.
 
Yes, there is EM but we all know EM is for "club members only". That's fine  
and good but it would be nice for the rest of the SCTA membership to have a  
place to race other than Bonneville. After all, we pay the same yearly dues but 
 cannot receive the same "return on investment" the EM racers get. Please 
don't  say anyone can run EM as we all know the deal.
 
The SCTA runs 8 races a year but most of the membership can only attend  2.
 
What do the listers think? Does the SCTA need another racing venue? Lets  
hear from all the "Lurkers" out there for a change! Your opinion counts and 
this  
isn't a technical LSR topic. It effects all racers, especially the  non-EMers.
