That is correct.
Ken, I agree with your plan points 100%, not to mention appreciate, and also have a personal preference for subscribing to, an optimistic philosophical view.
But, there are well known hurdles that were discussed at length at the ICSCC spring E-Board meeting, where the official ICSCC race schedule is set, that stand in the way of ICSCC race #13's status changing from "tentative", which is in fact the correct status, to "confirmed", for ICSCC sanction purposes.
The information shown on the ICSCC website, for purposes of ICSCC related critical information distribution, is as official as it gets since it comes straight from the E-Board minutes.
Thankfully though, again after considerable and at times intense debate at the spring E-Board meeting, and frankly some bold actions by the TC reps, these hurdles appear to be not insurmountable, hence the listing (at all) on the ICSCC race schedule as "tentative".
Seems quite the opposite of "obstruction-istic" actually.
I'm pretty sure anyone and everyone is really looking forward to the first race at ORP.
