I emailed dave earlier asking him to explain his meaning a little better. I know he cant do it all by himself but he can get the ball rolling on the issues and make reccommendations. Below is what I wrote Dave. it may not be pretty but at 2 in the morning at least maybe he can understand what I am asking

Hi Dave i was reading your article in the August MA and was wondering if you could clarify your meaning with reguards to the race car restrictions. Are you saying that we should keep the current restrictions or add more restrictions as the race world is doing? I was also wondering if when you mentioned the tiered insurance if you were meaning like someone mentioned that was brought up before abt doubling the membership fees? I think that if you are doubling the cost of insurance it should only be 30% to cover double the cost of insurance. I also think that the membership should have an option abt the magazine. I am a scale guy and into the giants also and almost never see anything relating to them. I would rather take the 22% of my membership that covers the magazine and put that towards the extra insurance which in the end would keep the membership dues the same. I for one rarely read the mag i check out your column then usually pitch it as theres nothing for me in it just sport and funfly type stuff. what is your opinion on the offering of the choice of no mag and the money going to cover the extra insurance with a raised weight limit.

PS will post the response I get if any
