I don't feel MM is divided. We are merely trying new things. We are giving the harrisonburg section a try, as many students have requested it, and if it works it works, if it doesn't we'll nix it. It's nothing for anyone to get their panties in a wad or anything. If it proves a failure, we'll nix it and call it a learning experience.
I also don't think our actual attendance at the track has gone down. The number of people that go relative to our member base has gone down, but the number of people attending has been fairly steady.
Another thing I haven't been fully able to grasp is why everyone is upset that 110% of our membership isn't going to every track event. Simply because everyone does not come out does not mean MM is turning into a ricer car club like those other evil schools. We simply have a more diverse member base. As long as the members are passionate about cars and understand that MM's focus is on motorsports, they are more than welcome to be members whether they spend their weekends at the track or not.
