I don't ever think Edgars ability to run the series was ever in question, the problem was all the negitive responce to the reschedule dates. You put your heart and soul in something like edgar did with this series and you start taking it as a presonal shot.

I hope Edgar knows that was never anyone intent.

And just because people disagree with you over one or two points doesn't mean they're ingrates. Perhaps they think you have the capacity to hear them out and know they still respect you.

You've got to take the good with the bad, my friend. And you've gotten PLENTY of support from us over the years. What makes you think now is any different? I think it would be a mistake for you to quit. I say, delete this thread and trudge forward. It's not a totally thankless job and you know it. It's just a pain between the praise.

You are correct Joe, No one ever said that they where unhappy with Edgars work.

Edgar, what responsibility's can you "micro manage"? maybe we at ECS can help you out? I've often wondered how you do it.

Due to my crazy schedule I really don't have any extra time to even race my car. I can give you a few hours if you need them at the track as I may bring in a driver for my car this season. Let me know if you want some help and when you would need it.
