I think when ever you have the national in the most Southern part of the country it should take place in Nov. More Northerly areas should take place in early Oct. to give everyone who is driving a better chance of good driving conditions. Or example if this years national were being held in Late Nov. I would not attend. Way too much chance of heavy snows coming and going. <hckryhillgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: We seem to have two committees that want to operate independently of the Board and make decisions they are really not entitled to make,..the B&F and the Exec. commitees( does anyone notice a pattern and who are the common denominators). The ring leader(s) need to be identified. Those who can't work within the system need to come to grips with the fact that perhaps they are not capable of woking within the structure of the PC and that being on the Board may not be for them. At first I was not in favor of the Daytona site, we went and we had a great time. I heard rumblings of concern about jacksonville becuase the National is during hurricane season, after Katrina, some might consider that a factor.If the site is that great it should be visited. Perhaps a compromise would be to have the National in early Nov or late Oct, ( like it used to be anyhow) when the hurricane season is not quite a volatile.
