Why do people always want to change something. The last thing we have is tradition and the SCTA is steeped in it. Anyone who wants to change something, add a rule, change a rule, etc: has a personal agenda's....What's yourz

Jimmy six,

I don't have a personal agenda. Just asked a question, plain and simple. How ever the vote comes out is OK with me. I guess it is not OK to wonder how people feel about something, without being accused of having a personal agenda. So read my lips, I don't have one. LOL LOL LOL. Sorry to disappoint you.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Some high points placers may want to keep their existing numbers. for instance, I know of one who is in the top 15  who uses his NHRA driver's license number from years back. Thus I'd vote for the second item on the ballot.

The AMA (motorcycle racing folks in years gone bye) tried the same thing with "National Numbers" in the early fifties.  It mostly caused hard feelings, especially with those who had held a certain number for years and didn't want to change to a different one every year.  Just think about how much repainting will be required (unless you switch to washable poster paint), and how much confusion about who is number "x".  Since I don't have a number, I don't have a dog in the fight.

The only time we ever changed the number was when we got #1 in '97. Did not chnage to either #4 or #9 when we did that.

Hey, my vote is we should just keep the same numbers we had at the end of the 2006 season.  I kinda liked mine, y'know.  Had to spend almost $25 to change it for 2008, but if I hurry I may be able to turn it back in to the printer for a refund :-D
