Hmmm. Suppose people are voting with their $ and saying "do not pay" ?

The time extension isn't something new. They did it last year.

and the year before

and... Well, you probably get the pattern.
It's almost as if the real deadline is June 30.

Kevin, the fact that a new group was formed almost immediately smells of politics and control issues at RARA, sad. I guess I won't get to see Reno in all its glory, was hoping to go in the next year or two.

From the auto racing world: I had a buddy who was an engineer in CART when the split happened in 1996. Open Wheel racing in the USA has still not recovered 17 years later even though there was "reunification" a couple years back.

I see no good coming from this, and RARA hasn't even gotten a bill yet for ATC services which will be added to the incredible insurance increase after the Ghost accident. Last one out please turn off the lights.
