Re: No SP Dates Available

What I dont get is why has there been no OEQ introduced in SP yet!! I agree
with plenty of folks that OEQ is not the perfect solution but why not have
it in all tracks. I am just pondering/wondering on the reason behind this.
I am sure that is not going to stop any seat "grabbing" but just wondering
why not SP.. why security ;)
