Default DE event on May 9, 2010 - MOTHERS DAY

So what do you think?

Would you?

Could you?

Would you dare even ask?

Depends on track. Some tracks wouldn't be worth the price to pay for not being at home that day. Also depends on travel time.

If it were in my back yard

I would.

I could.

I would dare.

You are missing an option in the poll. Have wife. Have kids. Deals can be brokered.

Better than telling your mother she ain't your wife!

You missed a button. "Great Mother's Day Gift"

I've taken my mother autocrossing with me for Mother's Day. She loved it. She'd love it if I took her out to the track, too (in fact, maybe I'll do that for 2010). And, well, I'm female, so there's no wife/mother of my children to worry about.

Damn, sorry about that.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem I can change or add to the poll.

So there should be a 5th choice....

Great idea, maybe I'll bring my husband and/or boyfriend!

unfortunately I can't seem to modify my poll.

When we were first looking at track dates - a Mother's Day weekend was available. Even the track manager told me it was not a date to be rented - we respect our mums. However, a Father's Day makes great family quality time together - many father/sons and father/daughters come out to play...

Mother's Day would be a hard nut to crack.....

For many years Mid-Ohio region's Club Race was held on Mother's Day weekend. We had great debates, never settled, as to whether or how much it hurt attendence. We even polled the racers one year - most prefered it to be moved.
We finally got it moved to another weekend, thus Mr. Herod's request above (they now have the weekend for a DE).
We do know that it hurt our volunteer numbers - more of those needed for a CR than a DE.
