Nov 11-12 at Heartland Park (Great Plains event) was cancelled and December 11-12 Pacific/Southwest Regional event at Willow was cancelled according to Roadracing world. Were there flyers mailed out?
Nope no fliers... I was told the last 3 times I asked that Kevin hadn't made a decision either way. Seems like no one but me wants to race the event anyway. ;D Brrrrrrr
yeah and as for summit there where rummors flying around it was getting moved to the main course. rriiiiight!!! ::)
WTF?! Why they cancelling the Willow round? That's crazy....my contact there says there's nothing going on with the track.
So, does that mean the last round at Firebird will now become double points?
This is the releas straight from RRW- read and see comments below.
The December 11-12 Pacific/Southwest Regional event (a double-points event) at the Streets of Willow in Rosamond, California has been cancelled "due to changes instituted by track management," according to the CCS mailer.
The final event in the Pacific Region will now be the November 6-7 double-points race at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Buttonwillow, California, and the final event in the Southwest Region will now be the November 13-14 races at Firebird International Raceway in Chandler, Arizona.
The November 11-12 Great Plains/Mid-West Regional event (a double-points event) at Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas has been cancelled due to "rider concerns over weather and the uncharacteristically late date for an event in the regional series," according to CCS.
The final event in the Great Plains Region will now be September 18-19 at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, Illinois, and the final event in the Mid-West Region will now be an October 9-10 double-points event at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, Michigan.
In addition, the October 9-10 Mid-Atlantic double-points event originally scheduled on the main course at Summit Point Raceway and moved by track management to the new Shenandoah Circuit may also have to be cancelled due to construction delays and safety concerns with the yet-to-be-opened course, according to CCS boss Kevin Elliott.
A call by Roadracingworld.com to Summit Point Raceway August 25 found that track owner Bill Scott would be out of his office for the next two weeks, but the woman who answered the phone - and refused to give her name – said the Shenandoah Circuit was still scheduled to open October 1.
Many racers who have visited the Shenandoah Circuit during its construction have noted the quantity and close proximity to the track of temporary K-rail concrete barriers around the Shenandoah Circuit.
Elliott told Roadracingworld.com August 26 that he would be attempting to reach Scott soon to resolve the issue because if CCS is to cancel the October race at the Shenandoah Circuit, he wants to notify racers by September 10.
If the Shenandoah Circuit event is cancelled, the final race for the Mid-Atlantic Region will be a double-points event at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia September 25-26.

For those of you who ared wondering why you have not heard about the changes- It is because it is in a mailer (paper-because not everyone has email) that was emailed (they have it) to RRW. As far as anything going on at SOW, the release says 'due to changes instituted by track management'- not that there is another race-etc. As far as the points questions they are answered pretty clearly too. Come on folks- before you start rants- do a little research- this is not McDonalds, you won't have everything done for you and CCS won't make you fat.
I just got my CCS/FUSA news and the Willow cancellation is listed on page 3 along with Shenandoah and Heartland.
CCS/FUSA news? What's that?
DR,
It is the small paper you get with your licence, it gives you updates on upcoming events and entry forms etc.......
I got my mailer today. Check your mailboxes.

hmmm... never gotten one. I'll keep an eye out for it though. Thanks.
Don't worry DR, I have worked for CCS since its inception and have recieved about seven newsletters in all that time! Oh well, since I know it all, I guess I really do not need a stinkin' newsletter! ;D CCS is pretty good about getting them to the racers as far as I know, so if you don't see it by the end of the week, let us know in Vegas, calling in to home office may not hurt, but they are pretty busy right now.
got it last night. First one I've seen. It's basically a huge flier for Homestead! :D haha
Thanks.
