I was looking at the latest schedules as posted on the CCS website with the changes to the GL Region and addition of the N Region and noticed a conflict in the schedules. Of the 20 Regional events listed between the MW/GP/GL/N Regions, I noticed that all are on seperate weekends except for the 2 events listed for the weekend of October 9 & 10. The GL Region has an event listed at Nelson Ledges for both days, and the MW & N Regions have an event listed at Gingerman on Sunday the 10th only. Is this correct in being overlapping like this? I am trying to do decide which (or even all) of those 4 regions to follow for the '04 season, and this conflict would make the decision for me.
I would assume a single region event at that time of the year would be somewhat sparse in attendance, and a triple region would be somewhat better. Would it be possible to shift all 3 regions to the Gingerman event for people looking to follow multiple regions? Or possibly have the CCS races at Nelson on Saturday, and then have the normal event at Gingerman on Sunday? (kind of like a twin sprint weekend at 2 different tracks).
Nelson Ledges is just GL. Gingerman is MW & Northern according to the website schedule.
Still kind of a conflict.

Nelson is going to be Bob Stanley's organization. He'll have a fair turn out without riders from the West. He was on his own for a while, then worked with WERA as an affiliate. Certain reasons caused him to leave WERA and work with CCS.
I believe, at least this is what the mailer stated, that the GL became the Northern Region. The Fasttrax region is a new region that carries the GL name only. Scheduling conflicts may occurs, as expected with the addition of new regions, but those that ran in the GL last year, should look at the Northern region if you want to maintain a similar schedule this year. If not, enjoy all of that good racing this side of Lake Michigan and run Fasttrax, or do both.
It's Lake Wisconsin on this side.
someone needs to sponsor me so i can worry about running all the GL/GP/MW/N races too. !!

Well we're on Lake Superior and that does nothing at all for us in the racing scene!!!!
Our old airport is just waiting to be turned into a road course. It would be perfect. Of course, they'd have to salt it until June 15, but that's no big deal.

Speaking of conflicts...
Someone please tell me we're not really racing on Monday, July 5 at Mid-America after being there for entire holiday weekend...is this a misprint?

Which class covers balance transfers? I think I might be able to teach that one. ::) :P :'(

Balance transfers? Yes, definitely 201...you are advanced. Hopscotch will teach you how to transfer balances to keep you racing from one APR to another.
I am still trying to pay off last year's debt, while making purchases for this year. If I am lucky I'll be caught up by May, but of course I am not running an entire season.
Can someone help my wife find a job? That's the kind of sponsor we need most right now. Her interests are in Private Equity, Bankruptcy and Venture Capital work. She has a J.D. and a B.S. in Business Administration with emphases in MIS and Finance.
Thanks in advance,

Big market in racers...
Wish I could tell you I knew someone in that industry. You wife is a sweet heart. She looking for something new in Chicago...or coming out by you in Detroit?
It almost doesn't seem to pay to read 3/4 of the stuff put out as schedules or "official" notices. The revision which adds the Northern region was revised on 1/9, 10 days before the latest newsletter was finished on 1/19. Yet it wasn't included in the newsletter? Interpretations?
I'm glad my season doesn't start 'til RA, instead of Daytona. Or wait, does it start at Heartland Park? The MAM question posted here earlier was a good point as well; Monday the 5th of July after a whole holiday weekend? Is that an error?
When I was at my worst I had 18 credit cards (ALL MAXXED!) and 6 loans running all at the same time! That was in the mid/late 90's, I am still paying that mess off. (and I made every payment, without filing for Bancruptcy, or help from other financial institutions) That's the reason I say that credit cards are EVIL! >:( Now I pay for all my racing as I go, very rarely do I result to a credit card anymore.
As far as the original topic goes, after looking over the schedules a little more I will most likely run all 15 of the MW/GP/N Region events this year, and not do the 5 optional GL only events. Sounds like the GL Region won't be the usual bunch of us CCS regulars (for the most part), so for now I will just stick to the other 3 regions. :)

I was noticing that too Paul... and whats up with all the Sunday only dates? March 5th, Heartland / June 20th, Heartland / Aug. 1st, Gingerman / Oct. 10th, Gingerman / and Nov. 14th, Heartland.... Will there be open practice on Friday & Saturdays? How on earth can we get all the races in on one day? So many questions... not enough answers! You all realize that our first race is in 6 week's...!!
So confused! ???
The Midwest season opener is Road America in April... not Topeka in March.
Is this correct?
No, It's Topeka in March now according to the latest schedule. Stump called Tiff to confirm.
Heather
Rats! :(

No, I'm leaving on the 23rd...that's the first race...
;D
Good luck in Daytona Dave. Is Nate going down w/ you? What all will you guys be running for classes and how is the MACC fund raising coming along?
Yes, Nate will be my guy.
The program is going along ok. Some of my sponsors are really helping a lot, and some are leaving their support at their previous levels. I have a pot going for the money that will go to the MACC Fund at the end of the season already. Shirts will be done before Daytona, the production ones. I've been selling a few of the "Helping Hero" shirts that cost more, but they help fund what I'm going to do. Don't make enough money to do this myself; they I loose a whole lot doing schools...hope to have the school program set up this year to stop that bleeding.
Still have to get the bike ready. It's at http://4and6.com now. Waiting for the new Micron pipe and we're getting a prototype FI set up from 4&6...something they've been kind of working on.
