Morning all - Hope most of you are having a good day. Since I'm in such a foul mood I'll just launch into my latest "rant". The local Airport Authority board cancelled tonight's test and tune session and made us tear down and pack away all the equipment due to some kind of policy directive from NavCan(Canada's version of FAA).
What we are racing on is a secondary(read unused) runway where we were told it was OK to leave everything set up until the end of the season which is only ten days away. Now we're told we'll have to set up on that Friday, race Sat and Sun and have everything torn down and put away before dark on Sunday.
This is only the latest chapter in a series of abuse our volunteer run Dragstrip has taken at the hands of these bureaucrats. Not only did they delay the start of our season and cancel a lot of those Wed night T&T sessions - now they're saying they didn't make enough money from us.
The most annoying part is watching the Airport employees get paid double time on Sat and Sun for sitting in an air conditioned truck watching the drags while pretending to act as security all the time our UNPAID workers are on their feet for 12 hours straight. GRRRRRRR
