Alex, ALL the changes in 2012 will be for the better!!! I may not be able to race quite as much, but I do plan to race several classes. The rules have made me more interested in lawnmower racing this year and I plan to take full advantage of them. I REALLY want the National Championship that I was soooooo close to last year, but I want it in several classes, maybe several different racing organizations! This is why I need to get on the stick with making plans!
