MAM GP & MW Memorial Day Weekend Info

[Sobottka]

well... i like the new schedule... my back to back races are gone now!

[TommyG]

well you must be the minority here. most guys with middleweight bikes like to do some heavyweight and even unlimited stuff. If you look at it that way there are going to be alot of breaks between races for alot of guys!

[Sobottka]

yep, im in hwss,hwsb and ulgp (as well as mwss,mwsb and gtu) none of witch are now back to back 8)   

[TommyG]

irregardless of who is hurt or who benefits from the schedule change, it`s not right to change it this late in the game. many people enter specific races based on the schedule. 

[Sobottka]

yer right... ccs wouldnt change the ra schedule cuz of that very reason, so i did 2 back to backs then 3 back to backs... 3 sucks. i feel yer pain!

I guess no one else has noticed that instead of 8 laps, we are now down to 7...

Yeah!!!!

Thanks for the great news....3 Days before the event...

I entered classes so I wouldn't have back to back races, but thanks for changing the schedule so now I do.....

If you pre-enter knowing that you will have back to back that is one thing...

I have more back to backs at Heartland Park (btw the sprints are 7 laps there too) than I do at a TrackaddixGP event. I've also seen the schedule change the day of the event before.
It's the first weekend of a new series, it ain't going to go perfect but this is the best thing to come along for the Great Plains region in sometime. I say give Dean a break, he will be working hard to make us happy.                      -Snack

   With the new schedule, I hope there will be a Dr. @ MAM. I have three races in a row. Race #6 HWSS  #7 ULSS #8 F-40 (this right here is a heart-attack waiting to happen) also race #15 HWSB & #16 ULSB. What's wrong with the old schedule-?

I can't speak for the masses...
For myself, I looked at the schedules for Road America, Topeka and Black Hawk, when I decided what races to run.

This one GP region race was not factored in.
Had the schedule remained the way it was posted, I am sure it would have caused more issues.
Honestly... they had GTO and GTU run back to back...
There are poeple like myself that run both these GT races.

As far as people only runnning the GP region...
Well this is only there 2nd race weekend...
If they need to make class adjustment, due to the change...
Well its still early in the year.

So Kudos, for the change!

I don't know...  Schedules constantly change.  It wouldn't surprise me if this one changed again on race day.

I know that if they move Sun races to Saturday, there will be a MASSIVE amount of complaint though as the schedule has always had all races (except the TC) on Sun, so people have planned their weekends around that.

I'm just wondering how late Sunday will run...  That's a LOT of races to run in one day, and the 3 GT races will cut into the time pretty significantly.

If everything runs smooth and no red flags, nobody falls down, sure it will work.  However, in reality.......

Just roll with the punches and enjoy the racing...

[TommyG]

I wonder if several racers from different classes could get together with ccs and try to come up with some better scheduling? I`m sure it would probably end up as a clusterfuck but might be worth trying?

[Jeff]

No better place than right here...

Produce a schedule and we can present it!  The problem is getting people to agree on ANYTHING.
