[QUOTE="Pat Burroughs, post: 121143, member: 16389"] The proverbial nail has been struck on the proverbial head. The way many things are done are a bit archaic, owing to the fact that most procedures were put in place when membership was [b]much[/b] lower. Couple that with a "that's just the way we've always done it" mentality that prevails and you have...things done in an archaic manner. The unlimited practice time is a blessing to some and a curse to others. It's a big part of the reason that some enjoy the series. Personally, I don't think the terms "off-road racing" and "practice" should go together, but then I'm sort of a purist. We also have ridiculously stupid live-engine motocross-type starts.:silly: I'm not that upset that we won't go to Muenster. Not because I don't like the place, but because we don't get to [b]use[/b] most of the place when we race there. Last summer's National enduros used some great areas that we never touch. For the most part we race the same loop over and over, forwards and backwards. I was much more impressed with what the RRDR did at Terral, OK a few years back than what they offer us at Muenster. Whether it's because their hands are tied at Muenster by the landowner, I don't know. As to a new series, that's a great idea that a couple of friends and I have discussed several times. I'm all for it, maybe it'll be good for the monopoly that is the TCCRA in North Texas. The only thing I'm not so excited by is "Tracks will be more technical than the typical TCCRA course". Super-technical terrain is great for trail-riding and enduros, but does not make for good [i]racing[/i] IMHO. Sure you need challenging obstacles and difficult sections, but there also needs to be a good bit of open terrain for passing so it doesn't become a game of follow-the-leader or a contest of let's-see-who-can-blow-the-fewest-turns. Now, there seems to be a general feeling in these parts that "open" or "fast" equates with "easy" or "sissified", but that just isn't the case. So long as the open terrain is rough, it takes just as much skill to go fast there as it does to go fast in the more "technical" (read: lower-speed) sections. Sorry for the tangent. Just my $.02.
