Mike,
I understand your confusion after the careful review of my post above. Please do not misconstrue my statements regarding an oval time trials event as anything other than completely positive. What I was trying to communicate is that not only are we putting great efforts into straightline stuff, but also for ovals and hopefully getting heat racing events back up and running. As I recollect, there were several scheduling conflicts which led to the good decision Kentley made not to pursue the oval event this year based on a general consensus from many parties. I have nothing but respect for Kentley and he has gone way out of his way to support this district as well as other districts and members across all of IMPBA.
I am in contact with both Kentley and Dick. The major focus for the pond is to share the common goal of not just accommodating electrics, but to make it possible for all classes to be run in a respective pond. Unfortunately for all and not a detriment propogated by any party, we have yet to be able to collectively resolve the current pond issue despite great efforts put forth by all parties. We understand we have the full support of the appointed IMPBA members and that as soon as a resolution is imminent, we will be able to move forward quickly. For that, I believe I speak for everyone to say that we are all very grateful!
The spirit of my post above is to perpatuate the excitement felt at a local level for this upcoming year with the intent to continue to build the club and participation throughout D12 and other respective districts. It's going to be exciting and we're all looking forward to it!
