I have gotten several texts and calls about this. So here a poll and post to talk about it.

Yeah, this is going to be a problem. How do you explain to your 72 year old mother that a pwd race is more of a priority than her? Same can be said for the wife. My wife supports my pwd addiction but I doubt she wants it to be a higher priority than her.

I'll just send proxy.

What better Mother's Day gift that to let the kids have the whole weekend alone with their mother? Lol

We'll celebrate the next weekend when the restaurants aren't jacking the prices for the "special" menu.

I have annoyed my mother for 49 years, so she sees it as a vacation. Good to go.

I'm just a Pawn in this. You know the "go and do" what's asked of you guy. It's not up to me. I think it's starting to look like everyone will still participate just the one's that were going to come will race a lesser car count do to proxy racing. And the rest of us that do come will have to find something awesome for our wife's/mothers that isn't PWD related.

It is nearly impossible to move the weekend before is the weekend that Warren Buffet has his share holders meeting - hotels are through the roof... not to mention - that we began in August promoting this date in our Council have countless amount of information out that promoting this as the date to move it back also creates issues logistically with Camporee and some other Scout related events going on. I am confident as my Wife has stated and my Mom's support - the actions and our care of our families is a daily event... and we should embrace the things that we enjoy. It allows us to give back to our families way more than what a "Hallmark Holiday" means - I know all of you have wonderful relationships with your families and in fact that is what our event is very much all about - why not bring them -- Omaha is a great place to celebrate Mother's Day

At this point in time it is a date that we can not change -- I truly hope that many of you are still able to come because this years Mid America Pinewood Derby is going to be Amazing we have all kinds of great things lined up, and for all of those that are passionate about their Pinewood Derby Racing it is truly the pinnacle race - the winners will be National Champions - it is not often that you can have an event where so many so closely related to our Hobby / Sport culminate - those that will be at this year's Mid America Pinewood Derby will be very happy that they attended and able to draw on a greater amount of experience to offer back to their families the beautiful thing that makes you the person you are.

Truly

Think the "Hey Babe, can you grab me a beer?" line will work out there that weekend (Friday)?

Not in total agreement with the date, now that I'm aware of the weekend it lands on, but I can still be live. I will have to leave right after racing to make it home Saturday night, which I'm bummed out about, planned on a good night of round table discussion talking shop.

Haven't decided my level of dissatisfaction yet... LOL
