Finally. I've waited years for this change on pit load in and setup. I actually proposed it in a Frank answers Fridays submission a long time ago, and to Frank personally in a face to face discussion many months ago. While the response took a while, they really are listening!

I'll reserve judgement on the trophy issue until I hear whether or not Long Beach and Ventura will have Wednesday night pit setup. ;-)

I'm not sure of why pit setup needs more volunteers, but if that's a barrier to doing it, by all means let us know and we'll find the volunteers.

I am curious how much trophies cost though. And how many do we really go through in a season? 1500? At $50 which I think should be absolute top of the mark for these, that's $75,000 per year. Not insignificant, but also not a gigantic cost considering the scale of the program, and an annual operating budget in the several tens of millions per year.
