Here's your first look at what to expect for 2011.
--> 2011 Tentative SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (http://www.ccsracing.us/schedules/2011/2011%20asra%20ccs%20schedule.pdf) <--
NOTICE that the Southwest and MidWest Regions still need to be completed .. but it's a great start!
Happy Planning!
Your CCS Webmistress, Jeanne :biggrin:
[edit: Reposted today 12/7 to add SouthWest and make minor date corrections]
Ding, Ding, Ding...... we have a winner!
From here on I'm listening to everything Meg Ryan has to say! :cheers:
Scotty, if you know what's good for you, you'll do the same. :biggrin:
Oh how I wish putnam could be inserted into that June date for MW....
Better yet, make it mam.. then I could get a good night sleep once again.. I don't expect that though.
June 11-12 Midwest Region TBA (hosted by MCRA)
Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Could be interesting........ :biggrin:
My season will be pretty short. With only one race at HPT and none at Hastings or MidAmerica it pretty much sucks if you live within 4 hours of three tracks and they are not even considered. I didn't even see Road America unless I missed it.
Hey GR , lets hope the June date is Heartland and the July date is RA. Would not be the best schedule for us but I could handle 2 HP, 1RA, 2BH for a season, just doubt I could make all BH races.

why do you assume they were "not even considered"? come out to blackhawk, there are plenty of rounds out there.
Mid-West Roadracing Championship
Great idea to turn the last BHF weekend into a "Twin Sprint", NOT! Really?
Who's brain child was this? Did the economy turn around or something and I missed it?
Or did we all win the lottery? I could be totally wrong on this one but if 2011 is anything like
this past season the grids @ BHF still won't be large enough to support a 2-day format much
less a Twin Sprint. I typically run 3 races a weekend and now you're asking me to run 6 to
stay competitive at double the cost now. You can't get blood out of a Turnip and BHF is not
the place to try and do it!
I'll also assume that 7/2-3 is going to be RA which is already a Twin Sprint weekend but at a much
larger track so there it makes sense even though the costs are higher to run there.
HPT had to be canceled last year so let's give them two rounds in 2011, makes sense, not.

FYI: it's not 2 rounds, it's a twin sprints weekend, Apr 22-24th, they just have it listed weird.
so now we're gonna start complaining about too many opportunities to race?! CCS just can't catch a break, huh?
No double Points rounds but an additional twin sprint...I'll take the opportunity to race more and if that's what things move toward to keep the series alive and well - that's what I'm in for, heck the AMA guys run 2 races a weekend...so does WSBK....it's tiring as hell to even think of 9 races in 2 days at BFR (which is likely what I'd run...) but it'd be a heck of a lot of fun....

Grids are down due to the economy so how is having a Twin Sprint which will cost a racer more money to race the entire weekend a good thing? Personally, I'll race every chance I get but if you're looking to increase the size of the grids how is this the solution?
The result may be some people register for only Saturday and some for only Sunday. How many will register for both days and all of the races they are eligible to race in?
I think you need to take into consideration all the people who don't live within an hour or two of Blackhawk.
With the elimination of the Great Plains Region there are now 4 fewer race weekends in the central part of the US (2 from HPT and 2 from Gateway). There are still a good number of racers in the KC/Omaha area as well as STL/S.Illinois.
Going to Blackhawk is the next best option for a lot of these guys who still want to race - many of which may have never been there before.
Twin Sprints may make sense for a lot of guys who have to drive 5-8 hrs to get to Blackhawk. Make a full weekend out of it or only race one day if you have to be back at work early Monday morning and have a long drive home.
Makes sense to me that the numbers at Blackhawk should go up now that there are fewer options for race weekends.
so much for a lighting round at njmp
I'm praying that the TBA dates for midwest are not at MAM. I would love to have a reason to go there, but I think its just a bad place to hold a race weekend at. Giant flat area with no trees in the hottest part of summer. Not something I would want to take part in.
And with the twin sprints at BHF, I can't complain about that. With having more opportunities to race we can hopefully get some racers to come out. Its not about spending twice as much on entry fees, its about saving money from having to drive 250 miles to another track two weeks later. Some of you can do that, others that are 21 and in college can't. So think about other people. The way I see it is that we are lucky to still have a schedule in this area after the miserable turnouts last year

The Lightning Course has inferior facilities not only for riders, but also for operations. And although NJMP says improvements are planned, they probably won't happen this year due to the economy. The dates were picked by the New Jersey management, then reviewed by Kevin for conflicts etc. before approval for addition to the CCS schedule.
Lightning blows anyway...
I LOVE IT!!! all gas all the time
The TBA date in July for Midwest has always been RA and it's also a TBA date for TC. My guess is that it will be RA but they are still negotiating details. Rumor has it that if you are not a national event you no longer can have a weekend event there so technically ASRA has to have the weekend b/c CCS is not a national series where as ASRA is.
I like lightning. I won 9 out of 10 races there, fast and flowing, but hard on the right side of the tires.
Thunderbolt is a great track too.
What does Twin Sprint mean for the Mid Atlantic CMP dates?
All sprint races are run twice that weekend. One time Saturday, once Sunday.
So is CCS doing it's own practices at NJMP this year? Are they the standard practice price?
Ok, so I just noticed that the TBA dates are missing on the schedule now.. does that mean they are gone for good this year or just taken off because of the wining about them?? No Road America?? bummer!!!
Still on this schedule...........

Which schedule were you looking at?
I was looking at the main schedules/results page..they used to be on it. I see it on the Midwest schedule like you said though.
Anticipation is building. What will the TBAs be
Hey Eric, is CCS having an event at RA this year? I hope so. I love that place...
He won't answer if he was he would have by now
