Tally National Date Change?

Saw on Facebook where it has moved up a week to 4/18-20.

Already had vacation time approved, now to see if I can get it changed....

 

Understand, wasn't sure the reason for it but I'll agree it would be better. I think it will work out.

Now if we can just work on the mid-central schedule for next year

 

I understand it's a made up region. We discussed it at GNF one year after Nashville closed. I'll toss out my 2 cents, I hope Bowling Green works out and for those of us that are truly kind of "mid-central" geographically I say toss in a round or 2 up north, continue to use Barber/Tally/Road Atl and add in Bowling Green (hopefully) and Grattan.

It would still be a made up region but a few more bikes up north would maybe help pay the bills at Grattan, etc.

 

Im thinking Bowling Green, Tally and Barber are sufficient for a MC region. Perhaps VIR. I know VIR isn't very "Central", but it is closer to the other tracks in the area than Grattan.

Unless they bring Nashville back.

 

Depends on where you live. I know there are several racers in the KY/Cincy area. I live between Louisville and Lexington KY. Grattan is about 20 miles further than Tally for me for example (Tally 450, Grattan 470 each way). NOLA on the other hand is over 750 miles each way so it's just not economically feasible especially with 3 rounds of mid-central being located there.

I definitely don't live in the best area for racing, most if the tracks are over 400 miles. Barber and Road Atlanta are about 420'ish each way since I have easy access to both I-65 and I-75 and know some of the mileage shortcuts to RA.

 

But you aren't really "mid-central", where you live is definitely more southeast compared to guys in central/western KY, southern OH/IN.

While I love VIR, due to no good route to get there it's a 8.5 to 9 hour drive.

And part of using Grattan for example is to somewhat make it closer to a real region rather than just a subset of another single regions schedule. At least this way there would be more of an incentive for people to run a full schedule.

And Grattan was just one example, throw Mid-Ohio in there as well, that gives you 2 rounds up "north" and it's even closer than Grattan.

 

Road Atlanta, Barber, Tally, Bowling Green, and Mid-Ohio would make a nice schedule for me in Nashville.

 

I won't argue that, I just know way more people in the south and like the tracks

See, I'm not the only one!

 

Gateway in St.Louis is expensive? I figured they would try and get as many people there as possible.

 

DO IT! DO IT NOW!!!!

Especially since they will have new bathrooms this year. The track pavings have also worn in nicely now. I know the last year a national was there there were issues in that department.

 

Don't want any conflicts, so lets move it to Easter weekend!

 

Would me living in Florida or Michigan make it happening more likely? I'll wait for your answer to tell you where I live

 

I know but see, that don't matter. I am trying to get the MC region worked around ME.

You know that any proposal made on the beeb...rules, schedule, regions or otherwise...is always based upon what the individual making the proposal has to gain from it.

 

Mongo, Google Calendar still shows the 4/25-27 dates.
