John,
While I realize the 6-run group system is new, I find the system to
be less than sensational as it appears to require people to work as long as
two hours. The orignal 8-group system required a single hour or less.
Of course if the goal was to scare away people, then success has
been achieved.
I'm in favor of the 8-group system for our regular summer series and then
go to a 6-group system in the Slush Series. Where we, the Steering
Committee, screwed up in 2005 was in remaining with the 8-group system for
the Slush Series.
From that error we were "analyzed" to go to a 6-group system for
2006, and we all now know what happens with that.
Two-hour work groups, as we had yesterday, are unacceptable.
Let's repair the arrangement before we drive the region's autocross
program out of business.
--John Kelly
