;Dwhile you guys are on the subject are there any thoughts of removing jennings from the southeast schedule henry's a pain, track's a dustbowl, wouldn't mind going back to carolina, nashville anywhere else, any thoughts?
Well, I don't think that Henry is a pain. He runs a good show. I like Jennings, but I don't think it should be on the SE schedule. I think CMP should be on the SE schedule in place of at least ONE Jennings event. It sucks that WERA gets to run all these different tracks, but CCS SE only get 3 main tracks and once at Barber. I wouldn't mind more VIR though. ;D But yeah, replace one Jennings with Nashville, another with CMP and run Jennings once thru the season...early or late.
;Dgood point I don't understand why our race venues are so limited, i am a big fan of ccs but i would love to be able to do nashville, road atlanta, carolina just don't get why we don't, what do they know that we don't? and whats with the ROC at Homestead?
remove RRR and Jennings we may as well combine MA and SE ;D
I hope they go to CMP, I like it there.
Oh there are tracks that CCS can't get into, politics and money.
I guess it is much harder to loose money at RRR than RA.
It is just interesting that last year, you can't find 10 people to run ULGP at RRR even though it pays to 10th place.
I don't know how many racers/entries SE has for CCS, but it seems that without MA racers mixed in SE region will be a big money looser. And I don't know if CCS wants to gamble with another (more expensive) track (even if they can get a date).
And judging from what's happening at summit point, I get a feeling that CCS is having a hard time getting dates.
I personally like jennings even though its a dust bowl the track is awesome. You must be one of the southeast guys that gets there butt handed to them when you run with the florida guys. ;D Henry is a awesome promoter i like the way he runs he program and hes very organized. Where have you been the past few months everyone knows why the roc was moved
:Pno stupid steve, what we mean is roc at homestead, why? so many other better more central venues,get your nose out of henry's butt, people like you are the reason i left florida!

Um, Like Scuba said "everyone knows why ROC was moved" and more to the point, why it's at Homestead.
If you don't know WHY it's at Homestead, maybe it's better to ASK.
Ronin.. do a search on this forum, and even on http://www.roadracingworld.com and you'll find why it was moved and why it's where it is.
It's called POLITICS. :P
I'd definitely like for it to be somewhere else. However, at least maybe this way none of the SW guys will be able to make it out there to challenge me. LOL
we all would love for it to be at Barber and we all know this, but in order to go back to daytona after the construction, it has to be at homestead..i know its an even longer haul you guys, but well worth it...very very fun track
mid-late October, sure, id LOVE to race somewhere in the COLD... not.. 8)
Ronin, you're not only "uninformed" but appear to be a "borderline idiot"! ;)
HD
hahah hmm homestead and daytona are owned by the same poeple right ????
and whats wrong with Jennings ?? it is not much further than RA !!? but should be mixed up a bit more ., very true..
QuoteRonin, you're not only "uninformed" but appear to be a "borderline idiot"! ;)
HD
Henry's being a pain again. ;D
As far as the home track advantage for the ROC, I guess those Penguin School winter breaks are going to come in handy for some of the Yankees!
;Dthanks for the input homos but the issue is why should politics make it so roc can't be held anywhere else there are better venues, if dis wants to work on their track at that time it should be their lost why should they get a second bite at the apple by having it at another track that they own.
Just curious guys. Besides the facilities, are there any complaints about the track at Jennings? I have been there quite a few times and thought it was one of the funner and safer tracks. But, I am certainly no track expert. What makes one track better than another? Any opinions?
ps. Homestead is a fun track with straights and slow turns, great for passing and honing your braking skills.
We know why you left Fl. SE doesnt have that great of competiton. I would like to run the ROC somewhere else that way us FL guys wont have to deal with the home track advantage bull crap. We all know we would win everything anyways!! ;D :P If you dont like it then shut the hell up its a done deal stupid or dont show up its simple.
Sheesh Ronin.. so you don't read OR follow suggestions too well either eh?
I take it you didn't do a search.. otherwise you would have found this thread... http://www.racemotorcycles.com/cgi-bin/board/YaBB.pl?board=ccs1;action=display;num=1080146317
:D
Ronin just doesn't get it. As far as him leaving the Florida Region, I don't know anyone who misses him! ::)

Young facility but a very technical track, and VERY safe as far as run off room. More than any of the few track i have been on. I really really like Homestead as well.
Only complaints really are the lack of paved parking area (a matter of $$$$).. and the blowing sand if we get a drought in the summer. Hopefully as the grass grows in, and $$ comes in to pave the entrance and other areas this will be less and less.
;Dgot it mike,anyway have you been to nashville or know anything about it?
Nope and nope and I'm not going to Homestead :)

>see you at homestead
ronin, you must be an low level employee. It is obvious you know nothing about contracts, and how business works. You are one of those people we see on Judge Judy trying to sue someone for your mistake.
PLEASE GO RACE WITH WERA.
we are pretty much nothing to DIS they make very little off of us and could probably care less whther we were there or not, so to stay in good with them, we're moving to one of their other tracks. If youve never been to homestead, dont knock it.
And if i hear one more person bitch that some people have a home track advantage, im gonna lose it. So what if Florida region runs there, if your a good racer, u can pick up the line and pace in a single track day there and beat those locals at there home turf so u can have something to brag about
Now that's the attitude of a real racer who just happens to live in Florida! 8)
HD
Well that's my plan ;D I don't know if I can beat the guys who have experience on this track, but I'm really looking forward to the ROC and getting pumped. I do wish it was at Barber, or a plain more all around accessible track. But I'm not going to complain too much. :P
obviously you have no clue how much it cost to put on an event like the ROC.compared to every other event,DIS loses money on the ROC,and to say you won a nt'l at DIS (one of the most famous speedways in the world) is saying alot.So if we have to go to Homested once,to preserve DAYTONA so be it.To say they (fla. racers)have a home track advantage makes me want to train and race harder.Is the AMA going to cancel road atlanta because yates grew up racing that track.Part of becoming a better roadracer is learning tracks.look at geoff may...first time running most of the AMA tracks and running top 10 almost every week in superbike.To say you're not going to homested because you feel the fla. riders have an advantage would be like saying you're not going to race ama because the others riders have been there before.Maybe you not ready to race for a championship.As for me I'll go to homested with the intent to win,just my 2cts.And for those of you that know me ,yes i do live in fla. but the last time i was at homested was in 1997.I can't tell you what i had for dinner last night,so don't think i remember the fast way around the track. ;D
DONT LET HOOTER31 FOOL U...HES JUST SAYING THAT CAUSE HES ON POLE ;D
Ronin what class you running anyways?? Just curious. Scott any word on the bodywork for the 1000 yet??
