I like running lots and lots of places. Because the SCCA schedule
appears to conflict with nearly every NASA event, it sounds like I'm
going to have to make a choice. That seems a little silly to me.

I think that's what we're talking about here. Are we at all sure that
there are more people who really don't care? I've seen a fair number
of folks speak up here, and fairly vehemently. I suspect that lots of
people would prefer even Oakland (maybe the surface has gotten a bit
better now?) to GGF.

I certainly don't expect SFR's schedule to change because of MY
preferences, either. I *do* think that it should change in responce
to the preferences of the members, though. I have a responsibility
to join others in speaking up if the club is doing something that
makes it tougher for me to participate.
If I never give John any feedback about the schedule, but just go off
in a huff to run another series, that's pretty useless.
