What would be great is if Hilltop jumped into the mix and hosted a race too! I did start that machinery in motion and talked to the key players involved, but it never got off the ground. Maybe now is the time to get more involved?
It is considerably easier to tell others what they are doing wrong than to take on the endeavor and show everyone how it is done right. Usually this is because there are conflicting forces that prevent it from being done "right" to begin with. And when you do have a consensus, there is no guarantee that right is right, or if it is really wrong.
The reason you buy a license is to support the races that want to report your scores to USAC so you can qualify for Nationals. The H2H series has picked a side, and that is the side of not needing to be a USAC race in order to be in the series. Now we, as a series, cannot prevent anyone from joining USAC. I mean, who am I to tell Vic that he can't be a USAC race? That is not my place to say. We already suffer from a lack of promoters and as we mentioned on another thread, I think we have lost 3 promoters and 4 races in the last year. How can we afford to force more out?
If H2H goes all-in for USAC, I am pretty sure 3 of the promoters will drop, us included. You'll be left with 3 or 4 races in the series, which then begs the question, is it a series at all?
