I think we will limit it to 150 riders 3 groups plus a riding school with Ed Bargy which would work out to 4 sessions in am and 4 in the afternoon

ok, I'm hearing it's been canceled and rescheduled by another company.  Is there any truth to this?  I read it on the WERA site here: http://forums.13x.com/showthread.php?t=115195

I just called the track and unfortunately it's true.  As of now, no one is picking up the day.  From what I hear it's political between ZOOM Motorsports and the track. I sent a few e-mails off to get more info and will post when I hear more.

ok, I just checked my e-mail.  Here is a transcript:

************************************************************************

The track has been rented on the 9th and 10th however there will not be any race practice.

Subject: Aug 10th Question



Now that the Bargy School won't be doing the practice day, has anyone else picked up the day for a race practice?  We have 4 guys coming down from Washington, D.C. who have never ridden the track and will be racing the CCS event.  The practice day was the deciding factor weather or not to come down.



Please let me know as soon as possible so we can make arrangements accordingly.



Thank you,

this is ridiculous.

I'm racing the TC on Friday, have never been there before...and my flight reservations [coming in on wed nite] are non-cancelable, non-changeable, nor refundable

:banghead:

I guess I get to spend all day thursday wandering around the museum

Yes This is true I was informed by Ed that the day is cancelled due to someone else having the track that nobody at knew about until recently sorry guys I will try again next year. Rich

Rich, I spoke to you on the phone this morning.  I want to thank you for all your efforts with this.  It's unfortunate that the politics at Barber and Zoom Motorsports has kept the practice day from happening.

In any event, thank you again.
