[Land-speed] The Never Ending Quest for Rooms

[drmayf]

Do the events really get a lot of media coverage?  From HR magazine and 
maybe some local SLC news but not much elsewhere. We are getting big 
sponsorship are we not? It now takes organizations with the engineering 
power and sponsorship to take cars into the new records.  What if 
entries were limited to once every two years? I'll use me as an 
example... I would only be able to submit an entry only every other year 
(yeah, I know there are some who would limit me to never, lol).  Seems 
like that would cut down on the number of entries and make the events 
easier to manage. Run a separate bike event following or preceding  SW? 
Ditto for the very large roadster classes?  Make SW two weeks long and 
run different classes at different times during the time period?  Ie, 
something like 4 days of bikes, 4 days of roadsters, 4 days of 
everything else?  A staged event.  Would take more volunteers to 
implement and maybe that is the killer. Expand WOS and run it 
immediately before or after SW?...  

I can hear it now, lol.... let the flames begin but remember, hate 
crimes now include speaking out against a person, so be gentle or you 
might become the Supreme COurt test case, lol.... and we know where that 
is going...
