I have thought about one of the ideas presented to improve the NMMA; "the elimination of all judgment calls". I have to agree this is a wonderful idea. It is a wonderful idea for all racing, and life for that matter.
As with any organization, the best the NMMA can do is put reasonable people in charge. Reasonable people make reasonable judgments. Unfortunately, not all of the responsibility for reasonable judgment is in the hands of the organization (NMMA), much of the responsibility rests with the race tracks.
We can change the landscape of the NMMA by simply becoming involved in the leadership structure. It is more difficult at the track level without becoming an owner or promoter.
The NMMA needs a good crop of energetic, reasonable people to help it survive and grow. Becoming a leader takes no money and very little time. It takes a strong sensible voice and it takes responsibility; responsibility for your words and your actions.
There are a few of us out here that want to see organized micro racing survive and prosper. We want the sport of Micro Sprint racing to be around for racers of all ages to be able to have an "affordable" place to enjoy racing, as a competitor, owner, spectator or whatever. In addition, we want our kids to have a safe and enjoyable place to learn the lessons racing teaches.
Micro racing doesn't have to stay as an organized product of the NMMA or any other group, but if it does, I belive it has the best chance of survival.
