I’m reposting an email I received from Greg Kamplain earlier today as the Division 3 rep. While I hope all the other reps are doing the same, I appreciate Greg’s efforts to start reaching out early, providing his own view, and recognizing that he will support what the majority wants – even if it conflicts with his own desires.
Hey everyone,
I have had a few people talking to me about rules for comp for next year. I am going to go ahead and ask for input even though there probably won’t be much discussion within the committee until closer to season end. It seems like the main topic is personal index. I’m afraid we are trying so hard to make comp attractive to new people that we are going to lose some of the people that have been doing it for a long time (and may have already). I would like to see the personal index system done away with and all class indexes have a tenth taken away from them. If the majority want to continue with personal indexes I think we should qualify off of personnel. It is just one more confusing thing to have to keep up with.
I don’t normally share my opinions with everyone but for some reason felt like it today. Believe me when I tell you that I will lobby for what the majority wants even if I don’t agree with it. I would really like to hear from all of you so please respond with your opinions and ideas. If I don’t hear from you I will put you down as going along with whatever the majority wants.
We did have a couple of new people in comp this year and last and I would especially like to hear what attracted you to the class.
I know we have one more divisional but I would like to go ahead and thank everyone for their cooperation with parking this year. We did a very good job of making the available space work for us. Most all of the tracks appreciate our cooperation and have told me so.
Thanks,
Greg K

Having said that, I’m calling out all who respond to provide the reason and how it affects them. All responses are equal, but unless the car count goes up, my level of concern for the class remains the same.
So, for example, if (1) if you’re a current participant and you say if XXXX, I’d attend more races; (2) I was a prior racer and if you wouldn’t have done XXXX, I’d still be racing; (3) I had a car (or I’m considering building one) but I need to see XXXX, to participate; (4) I’m a fan and if this was changed XXXX, I’d attend more races; or (5) whatever I’ve missed or failed to consider.
Say what you want, but I’ve spent more than enough of my own time on this to recognize that car count is the only thing that will keep Comp a class.
Please be constructive in your posts …. Once again, all responses are important, but I believe the focus of relevance to HNRA includes – whether Comp is a class fans will come to see – or whether Comp is a class that will fill the size of its field – could be the best way to promote the desired changes (if any).
