It has come to my attention from a number of ISSCA members
that the date chosen for the 2006 ISSCA National event is "not the best".
Given the surprising swiftness that the venue and date were chosen,
I do not believe it is too late for something to change.
I think that the ISSCA BOD should seriously consider changing
the date because of the following reasons.
#1 July 4th week conflict
-will cut attendance in half
-most attendees will not be able to stay for whole event
-families have vacation plans already
-most extended families ALWAYS get together on this date
#2 ECIRS race at E-town is the same weekend (LISST drag day)
-Die hard drag racers will go to the closest impala racing venue (in this case E-town, NJ)
-Fastest cars on the East Coast will not be able to attend Indy
-LISST drag day is the largest North-East event of the year.
-It's equivalent to having the ISSCA event at the same time as Impalafest
#3 Week-day events are inconvenient
-Cuts down on local attendance because of work commitments
-Die-hards will come from Cali or the East Coast anyway
-Die-hards will come no matter the day of week
#4 Four day event is too long
-Most Impala owners come out for 1 or 2 events in
which their car specializes then leave
#5 The event can be completed in a weekend
-Day 1: Car show/Sound off, road race.
-Day 2: Autocross, Dragrace
#6 Besides Christmas and Thanksgiving, there could be
no better date for people to be unavailable.
#7 There are 11 other weekends in the summer, pick one.
#8 Who picked this date?
#9 Burnouts won't be as much fun with all the fireworks in the air.
#10 On a different weekend, we might actually get to race at the brickyard.
IF YOU AGREE, POST YOUR THOUGHTS HERE!
