I have to say, I'm w/ nikk777 on the tally in Jan/feb. Stating the obvious here, but Jan/feb are the coldest months here in Alabama. So why race 2 races in those months and race 1 national event in April and zero SE races in September? The weather is much better for racing in April and sept. I'm only a couple hours from tally, and I'm not sure I'll go to those events depending on the weather. That's my 2 cents.
You arent the first person to tell me that . When i consider how far i drive to places like Jennings, I can just as easily go up there. I might have to do that... That is kinda what im going to do. Im not chasing a regional championship, I am just going to pick and choose events I want to do, regardless of region between DiSalvo schools. I want to race several times to keep that "edge", but I really want to get some good seat time, gain some experience and learn alot this year.
dissapointed that national and endurance will not be at summit point but i guess that is what happens in this economy.
Mongo- The new schedule looks good, lots of sensible changes, and more racing for less travel $$. 2012 will probably be my last season of racing, only a few events, but they will be with WERA. Old age is catching up with me, as are my creditors
Here is an idea to partially help with the Vintage points issue... The legacy "Sunday" vintage classes (V6HW, V7MW and V7HW) could be run on the same points system as the modern sprints. They run the same number of races with the format, so there will be no shortage of rounds to accumulate points with a winner take all at the GNF regardless of points coming in. Then I'm not sure about the rest of the Vintage classes that run "Saturday" only - Maybe do the same thing. Eliminate the best of X number of races and just score it all the same as modern classes. Just some thoughts...
You can't quit! But, if you do, let's not forget about the displaced umbrella girls. They're more than welcome to head over to my spot in the paddock. I might even have another rider who could use some shading.
That won't happen. Umbrella girls are like butterflies, they flutter away when the flowers wilt. Besides, it's better to get your own, fresh-picked.
For the National Events without an Endurance Race, what will be going on Sat? Just practice? Doubleheader? Or spread the Sunday races over Sat and Sun? Thanks for the DH at Jennings and RRR
They're all combined with regional rounds so it'll be Sportsman races on Saturday and National races on Sunday.
As much as I don't love the loss of 2 rounds that were really close for me, I understand it, and the reduction means that I may legitimately be able to race a full season, and shoot for a decent point total in the North Central region. ...now to learn a couple tracks I've never ridden :P
Ohhhhh! I will still miss 6 hrs at summit, but I can take a sprint pack weekend like that. Double header weekends are the same as sunday sprints?
