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...
