I've been to NASA events, in fact our team and driver just won the SM Championship. I've observed what they do, talked with their leaders and can appreciate what it is and understand their direction.
I've been around or have friends that do SCDA, COM, BMW and PCA events.
It's silly for us(NER) to put on PDX's (we have tried) there is too much compition and events in this area for us to try and compete. Besides these guys do a good job at it!
Weekday day events would mean asking all the volunteers to come and miss work!
We could rent track folks but that costs money. Look at the other clubs and check thier pricing...it's not cheap!
NER runs 5 race events a year, many of our workers, work at other regions events as well! We just don't have the manpower to add more to our schedule, I know, I'm overloaded with what we have.
Now, if someone wants to take the lead in a PDX/Time trial program, "Come on Down".
We do what we do best, run race events!.... and yes, we do it better and for less, than anyone else.
