John,
Been there, did it, got hired to do it, quit because of it. Don't miss the politics, the mean, nasty volunteers(entightelment has a strange way of making sane people mean). Most don't understand that one of the biggest reason I left was the fact that members were allowed to berate, abuse, acuse, lie, cheat and steal and blame the National staff all with imunity. Boy can I tell some stories... I understand that the new Pres stands up for the staff. Good for him!
The only thing I didn't do was run for Director, which I seriously considered in the mid 90's. At the time I hade several staff members aksing me to run. In the end I made the right choice in not running.
Getting back on topic:
Has anyone submitted a formal proposal to the CRB to change the 2008 and beyond format? I know Mike thinks its an 09 implementation, but knowing SCCA and the fact that change is slow, it will take some test runs of sorts to even be attemtped in 09.
Maybe a regular season event should set up and set the bar real high?
