Considering the ever shorter racing schedule and the amount of runs I get per season, I have to seriously question if it is worth the hard work and expense anymore.

Only to learn today the actual quiet day is Sunday, August 30th, and the schedule was shuffled to allow a motorcycle race on Saturday in place of the scheduled drag race.
