Quoted from the ROC mailer : "We will notify all Mid-Atlantic competitors by postcard and posting on our official web site by September 10th IF the October event has to be cancelled."
So, has anyone heard anything? I went by the track yesterday and they said they think it's still on, but said the safety cert is "in progress". I emailed Tiffiney today and got no response.
Anyone have better luck? Bueller, Bueller? ;D
its the Million dollar question!!!!
i called ccs yesterday in regards to this, and i had to leave a message. i still have not got a call back. :-/
Kevin is doing the track inspection and should have answer by Monday-Tuesday. But he is traveling and when the word is posted I don't know.
Thanks for the update Eric... much appreciated! BTW, I went by the track again today and it is the track's opinion that we will not run Shenandoah until next year. They also stated that the main course will be available to us for that weekend :D
So why did the mailer say the 10th????? this is too late to put this off!!!! its only 30days away. thats crazy to not know if you have a race or not!. I live 25 minutes away from summit. I'll tell you now there is no point walking the track, ITS NOT READY. unless you like the feel of concrete walls? they surround the entire track! Oh and did I mention zero run off. they need to call it so we know for sure.
Any word yet??
I hear yes it's on....
It's on the main track...
It's on the new track...
Please let us know asap.

I called today STILL no word. Sorry but this is bull SH*t. less than 30 day to plan for a race, thats just stupid! but I guess I should be used to it buy now with CCS. >:(
wow still no word yet huh /??? :o this just sucks,
Less than 30 days to raceday and we got nothing. ???
Any body have any clue when we might hear anything??? ??? ??? ???
njracer1
Will we ever find out if this is on or off??? ??? ::)
Just asking ya know...

Seriously, this is CRAZY! I understand that it is difficult to get an answer but this race weekend is not that far off.
I have also seen the track and I will do a track day to see if those walls have been moved (I doubt it). If I don't feel it is safe, BOYCOTT!! I will refused to race that track EVER! Not only that, but I will do everything i can possible to get the lest amount of racers to race it.
How many deaths would it take for them to re-think that this track is "safe" for motorcycles. They do understand that motorcycles don't have crash cages, or am I giving them too much credit? I am just so FURIOUS on how they can honestly say this track is safe. I hope those walls don't stay there!
the walls that are present at the track weren't on the layout map that was shown. And I think based on the map, the track is ridable. Someone between the time people saw the map and put down deposit for the dates, the walls went up. I wouldn't go race there if I was paid to.
Did anyone called the office again this week? its much much easier getting in touch by calling.

Probably. ;D
RRW is reporting its canceled
Cool, kevin deemed it is unsafe to race at that deathtrap. "making safety improvements" I would love to see what that would be? ::) move the concrete back a little?
can we race ANYWHERE?
Just on a side note here, but with 3 summit events canned this year how will this effect amature bumpups? Not that i am even close to it but I wonder what this will do
So nice we have to wait 5 days to hear it from another site. ::) Why not cancel whoever has the main track and give it to us since we've been bent over backwards without lube by CCS and Summit.
Oh well....at least the WERA race is still a go.
My big question is: Why did CCS get screwed and there was no problem with the WERA races at Summit?? ??? All of our races get moved to a track that's not even finished but WERA gets to keep their dates on the main track. Can someone pleeeeease esplain dis to me???
njracer1
actually, njracer makes a good point. Maybe Wera never signed up for the death trap.... maybe they knew better.
Unless some SERIOUS design changes are made, I am not sure this track will ever be safe for bikes. There are some turns that if a bike were to run off, you would either die hitting the wall, or if they remove that, you would run into on-coming racing traffic!!! Maybe they should hire some one that can design a good track with an IQ over 80.

or lets leave car tracks alone and try to race on bike tracks... the course is fine and fun for cars.

Fine...I can fix this....send the fuggin cars to the other track and give us the main. ;D See..VERY easy. If the car guys don't like it, tell them to go pound sand!

Done!!!! make sense to me
OK.. so the new track is a death trap and was called off and will not be on the main track?
someone correct me if I'm wrong please
you forgot the part where we got screwed :)
you are correct :(
Hurrican I was up man
just sitting around, causing problems for florida and AMA. Stopped by Cube for a little while, but decided to move on :)
This is just plain stupid.
