We do not want people to drive 2 days or 20 hours for a 
Futurity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT ASSUME THAT REGIONS ARE GOING TO BE DRAMATICALLY CHANGED CAUSING 
EXHIBITORS TO DRIVE DAYS UPON DAYS- IT WON'T HAPPEN.

My big question to consolidating some regions is this .................. How 
many people are willing to drive the extra it will take to get to the 
futurities from the consolidation.
Say you are used to driving 5-10 hours and an occasional close 
one..............

Are you now willing to drive 12-20 hours for  most futurities and an 
occasional close one ??

Will we lose you if we increase your drive drastically ?? Or will you do 
what it takes to get to a futurity ??

I reference Christine's post about the SE region being from Florida to West 
Virginia over to east texas.  South Florida to West Virginia is at least a 
20 hour drive if not more and 2 days of driving. Are people good with this ? 
Will you still participate ?? Or will you be disenfranchised having to do 
this ?

I am really anxious to know how this would affect your decisions to nominate 
and enter.
