 That's the problem with running in two different series. Sometimes they end up overlapping and you end up having to make a choice. Don't give up yet you still have one more race.   Good luck at Ennis.

Well that's why I race with this club because it doesn't overlap the brackets races that we race. Bracket races are always on a Saturday not Sunday. I just think that they should have just cancelled it and not rescheduled the race seeing how it is so late in the season and to give those that are so close a chance. That's all in saying. Beside I never saw any rain today.

If you are in the lead it works for you to cancel a race but for those in the chase for points it is not fair to them. Point is everyone is never going to be happy no matter what the decision is. Most of us are in this series for the fun of competition and maybe a little recognition. 

I wouldn't want Marks job because it seems that no matter what decision he makes someone is not going to be happy. Mark, you are doing a great job and I am 100% behind your decisions.

Mike you are correct on all aspects. I can feel for Mark to have to make those decisions knowing he is not going to make everyone happy. He is doing a great job and all we can do is stand behind him 100%.

Thanks for the comments and support. 

These are the things I took into consideration before making the decision Saturday: I have a handful of people I contact and ask for their input, the weather forecast, schedule conflicts and the track owner asking to reschedule. The choices were reschedule or run the race. I put a lot of wieght on the track owners request. That's how I came to the conclusion.
We have over 160 racers this year in the reward program and 5 or 6 of them will be at the bracket finals. We have 20 active clubs in the challenge. It's difficult to avoid all the conflicts in scheduling but for the most part we accomplish this task. At the challenge board members meeting each Winter we work on a schedule that works best for everyone. Everyone understands that if we have to reschedule a race we may not be able to avoid one of these dates that was requested to avoid. Such was the case with the 1st race of the year and the Lone Star Corvette Club.
  I know this won't make the reschedule decision any more popular for some racers but this is my attempt at explaining how I made the decision to reschedule and what goes into making the schedule.
