Saw the List this moring...

Dear Reader,



while certainly not the full list, I was happy to find myself on the qualified list this morning. I was starting to stress it a bit... I want to thank Jesse Hammond for getting back to me so quickly from USAC and for Tom Mahoney, who quickly identified the issue and had the list updated with Greenbrier's results. USAC often gets criticized, and I've had my complaints, but Jesse and Tom handled this issue quickly and efficiently. They did a great job of calming an OCD, mid pack master's racer... Totally exceeded my expectations...Thanks gentlemen.

best to you all.

thanks for reading.

respect

any idea why it's a mix of 2013 and 2014 results? i qualified last year but made no attempt to qualify for 2014

hey, it's me said...

it's because qualification for 2014 began immediately after nationals 2013.. so anyone who scored a top 10 in an AMBC race after 2013 nationals would qualify for 2014 Nationals... Hope that makes sense...

yeah, I saw Neshaminy floating out there... It was a last chance last year, and maybe because it was so late it didn't get included? the opportunities to qualify in the Mid Atlantic were abundant last year, this year just 3 races this year (greenbrier, bear creak and bulldog).... If Neshaminay was my qualifer from last year, I'd at least shoot someone at USAC an email to confirm!
