Sucks being the red headed (car'd) Stepchild huh
I feel for ya Babe! I, me, myself and I have always had my misgivings running this series and the few times we have been able to attend events has done very little to change my feelings but my Husband enjoys what he does and if the NMCA can give him the chance to do it, who am I to mess that up.
I guess all we can do as informed racers/pitcrew is look at all options available to us and make our racing schedules accordingly. Which is what we have watched many others do.
I hope you can work out things on the personal level and also that the rule change does not stop you from doing what you love even though it may change where you do it.
