Sorry if you misunderstood me- I'm not disputing that at all!
But my point was that NASA (SE) is not holding any events in FL therefore SEHC isn't.
We can't add a track/FL event to the schedule without the sanctioning body having an event there.
If NASA SE were holding an event there- it would be on the SEHC schedule- but being their first season- my guess (as I stated before) is that for logistical reasons they chose to focus on the other SE states for the first year (particularly as the NASA SE officials/workers are based out of NC). (I have no idea how many NASA members there are in FL- that could've been part of it too?)
Nothing against FL- I'd love to see an event there- but there isn't one being run by NASA in 2004 therefore none for SEHC. Sorry- hopefully next year. Maybe contact NASA SE-letting them know the people you know that would be more than happy to run an event there if they had one would help, or get as many people as you can to join NASA SE to show the need to add a FL event.
I'm just the SEHC director- in the grand scheme of scheduling events I have no say so- its up to the sanctioning body officials- our schedule is based on the events they set up.
