Summit point

[Cowboy 6]

Eye-p,

You only allowed for eight events. I think we can do better than that. Also, if Barber is too far for Mid Atlantic (I agree BTW), Daytona isn't? I understand that the ROC is held there and that is another discussion all together. But, why the spring race as part of our series? Why not add in some mid-west tracks. I mean Daytona is only a 2100 mile trip. With diesel at $4.89/gallon that is only $855.75 just to tow there!! Sorry, I changed my mind, let's add MORE dates at Daytona!

I like Shenandoah anyway. It is a great technical track. The reason we were not there this year was due to scheduling not safety.
I think Shenandoah adds variety and challenge to the season.
If we do two events there like 2007, and add a second in NJ... Now we have a good ten races on our schedule.

Also, Paul, wasn't it mentioned before that WERA races there? Are WERA bikes quieter than CCS machines?  NESBA? Team Promotion? Sportbike Track time?

Totally agree w/ the proposed schedule!  Think the powers that be are listening?

Re: Barber--  yeah, but does it really need to be AUGUST in Alabama!?

Replace Daytona in march with barber

I believe they all do...just re-posting the info from Kelcher....I've never been there - so can't say how strictly the track actually enforces the regulation....wouldn't be against it being added ....

and it sure would be nice to have an event @ NJ next year. I know the cost and 3 day rental was the issue with getting it on the schedule.

I'm trying to be realistic about the number of events that people will be able to attend.  I would like to see a few more, but the lack of suitable venues seems to be a real obstacle.  Again, I have no special insight about this, it's just simply what I find reasonable.
Myself, I will almost surely NOT be going to Daytona- but I can certainly respect that it is and will be the first round of the series.  That is my motivation for the throwaway round request.

With regards to Shenny, I will not be spending my money to race there.  Nor will any of the 5 other guys that I pit with at every round.  Remember how small the grids were last year?  I just cant justify the risk of racing on that track.  Trackdays...maybe, but no way at race pace.

I actually think that something will be done about Main, so that is really not a concern for me. 
I think I can probably plan for roughly 12 events a year as long as we stay within 6-7 hours of DC.

I have read all the threads where Beave is discussed, and understand the issues.  That said, every trackday org as well as "the other" race org go there, so the excuses have worn thin.

There is always this place that could eventually find its way into our schedule. http://www.racehighrock.com/home.aspx

I'd much prefer this to CMP at least for the MA region.

Have they even broken ground yet?

Have they even broken ground yet?

Yes they have broken ground. Not only have I heard this from very well informed people, but I also read a thread  on the WERA board where Mongo said they would be at HRRW in 09 if it is completed in time.

Now if I had it my way the schedule would look like this:

Daytona
CMP
Summit (If pavement is fixed)
VIR
High Rock Raceway
CMP
Summit (If pavement is fixed)
VIR
High Rock Raceway
Daytona ROC

All of the tracks are in WV, VA, NC, and S.C. with the exception of Daytona. All of those states are seriously mid atlantic........not...... kinda....... sort of..... middle of alabama.

Does anyone know why we dont race at Road Atlanta? I know the Sunday quite time is a bitch but why  doesnt CCS race there? And what happened to Roebling Road this year too?

You forgot NJMP (Thunderbolt/Lightning)!!!!
A couple of the guys I race with went there (I had to stay home    ) and really liked the Lightning Course.  The Thunderbolt Course should be even better when it opens!  We could race both of those.

I'm a noob so this may be out there but what about Mid-Ohio?

[Cowboy 6]

I would be in favor of Mid-Ohio if we can ditch Daytona.  At least Ohio is somewhat near the Mid-Atlantic...

[Peter.BoyWonder]

Just out of curiosity, are the powers that be listening?  I don't expect you guys to say that anything will change one way or another just yet, but it would be nice to know that we were at least being heard.
