Title: Buttonwillow races same weekend as LAGUNA SECA???
Post by: peanutbritt on April 16, 2004, 12:07:46 PM
Umm......anyone else see this too?  CCS may be losing money this weekend as the entire industry attends AMA races at Laguna. Plans to reschedule I hope??

Not much 'industry' shows up to a CCS race save for the tire guys and L&L Motorsports.  We are not too concerned.  Plus- spend money to watch a Ducati race and AMA race from one corner when I can see it on TV or spend money racing?  Racing it is!!

You could always quit your job to be a professional CCS racer!  I mean, who would want a job that required you to go the Laguna for WSC/AMA?  I bet they even dishonor you by thinking you can't pay for your hotel so they pay for you.  I hated that, that's why I got out of the industry and started announcing.  Yep, now it's broken transmissions on the road, standing on a coleman cooler on top of a table for an announcing tower and eating a track burger.  The soda is even free!  Just kidding you peanut, I wish I could do Laguna this year, even if I don't get to go to Buttonwillow.
