YES! ;D

I would be willing to help, as long as it could be accomplished through e-mail, mail, phone or fax.  Travelling is tough with my current work schedule.

Can of worms here.  Proceed with caution.

 Agreed, that's why its only a question...not a suggestion box.

 At Formula races if there is a question about, safety, rain, schedule, tec, whatever, I've seen Kevin ask a group of the more serious racers how they felt about a situation. If Himmelsbach, Barnes, Acree, Bemisderfers and that bunch agree, that's plenty good enough for me, whatever they think. I think it's a cool way of doing things now. Kevin knows his limitations, gets input from knowegable riders, and makes a decision. How you going to do better than that.
  

[Thingy]

Yes.

[chris_chops]

Yes, we are now in the right direction!

I'm in a union at work.  There are so many ways that this could go wrong.  Get the wrong people representing you, and you're screwed.  people participate in things like this for a variety of reasons, from a genuine desire to help to a need for personal power.
The management-union rift can get so big that no one will yeild on ANYTHING, just to spite the other.  I agree that change needs to happen, and I'm not the guy with the answers.  I voted "Not Sure."  Be careful what you wish for, and don't jump without thinking.  Change is good, a willingness to find solutions is good, but rash, emotional decisions are bad.

[R6Chris760]

I think you hit it right on the nose K3.  It could be a good or bad thing, just depends on who we have to represent us.

No vote here because I don't think the group would be recognized by CCS/CCE.  Looks like I openeed this can of worms with my banquet bitchin' but can't say if this is the answer.

If this was a true voting membership organization it could work but that's not the situation here.
