Shawn and Russ I Apologize. Guys as these dates were flying around I did some “What-Ifs” with the calendar. For the last 3 years I have entered the dates in Google Calendar and made a corresponding Word version for the corkboard. I check the COTA schedule and make sure we don’t schedule races the same weekends as F1, PWC, MotoGP, and SVRA; likewise I schedule races around the annual planning meeting, Christmas party and holiday weekends. When I find potential conflicts I point them out to the Series Manager (SM). Sometimes the SMs pay attention to the *future* calendar dates, but often they seem to focus on the most imminent events. The whole process takes a few hours and requires focused attention to detail.
*In this case-I Apologize for being too-proactive in changing the dates. I had no idea the changes would be taken as if they were “hard” changes, IMHO they certainly could not be firm until a) the event was imminent (as per Russ, one month away) and b) the Series Manager declared them as final.
In my mind the dates were clearly Drafts until a) & b) had occurred.
Again – I apologize for the confusion and will not do again; certainly there was never even the least intent of these dates being taken as absolutes.
Series Managers – please view your series in Google Calendar and coordinate all changes with Steve B.
