It's a 15 drive for me to get to CMP. Theres absolutely no way I can make it. I can't even do Summit which is a 9 hour drive for me. This means i can run 4 weekends this year, so basically. I'm not even in the running for championships which really sucks cause I won 7 last year and wanted to win more this year.. I really don't understand why CMP was added to our series. I wouldn't complain so much, but now we have 1 less NJ round, and with AMA I'm down to 2 jersey Rounds and a LRRS round. Damn.

Guess we shouldn't complain, but we're the FL series for god sakes and we have two rounds in GA?

Gino,

It is the same thing.  Rather than making the 40 racers in the Southeast travel the 14 hours to get to NJMP, CCS is making the more popular regions supplement the weak. 

No disrespect to the Southeast but if that region can't get enough racers to the track to sustain on their own, cancel those races and let the SE guys travel to Florida or to Loudon to race.  In my opinion that is way more fair then making everyone else suffer to fill those events.

It's disappointing to see that no one from CCS has addressed these very valid points ...

I'm a CCS fan and generally think highly of the CCS staff, but I agree with you on this one.

FYI Z-Man talked with Kevin and put answer up on the 1st. Kevin very rarely gets on here (it is unofficial  board for a reason, office staff spend time/money organizing and insuring safety at the races as primary focus not PR)and I won't see him before next year to ask him.
