Snake Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Yes, this is the way it should be done. Give everyone as much notice as possible and allows for proper planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ,they are a buncha 8 grand big block high rollers.... Seriously, dont know their entry fees at Indy, but they are not outrageous at other tracks.

Boy Blunder Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Might be fun to go back to an old chumpcar venue - Roebling Road Raceway. Yes, it's a pain not having a crossover to the infield requiring multiple race stops, but maybe some creative format thinking could work - perhaps using stage points ala NASCAR. Lots of sprint races within a race. Just something to mix it up a bit and have teams focus on strategy a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I heard but not confirmed that the SCCA has Indy locked up for 2 years. We would have to wait until after that. Again, a rumor. Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technical Advisory Committee Andrew D Johnson Posted July 13, 2017 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Tracks I want to run in 2018: 1) Autobahn Country Club 2) Gingerman 3) Nelson Ledges 3) Blackhawk Farms 4) Indy I will probably also run: Road Atlanta Daytona Watkins Glenn Road America VIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatainium Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I like that the firm dates are released as they are confirmed. Allows us to better plan our seasons. More Watkins Glen please! I'd love to see more than one event there per year ... it's such a phenomenal venue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissanguy38501 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Planning on running Daytona and NCM next year in lieu of Road Atlanta. Indy would be a great venue if it was later in the year... say about late August / early September... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilwheel Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I wanna see a wall race, St Pete, Long Beach, Belle Isle, etc... I can see the series possibly getting 4 hours of track time at a major event sight. Crack of dawn start or last event of the day kind of thing. Would be great exposure for the series, for better or worse depending on the carnage or lack there of. We'd ( least I would ) be all over a St Pete race, probably would have to limit car counts too for those kind of races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent a screen shot with "never say never" to my team. We'll be there, I'm determined to finish a race at CMS. Glad I get another shot. Also love that we have another SE spring race option other than VIR-S. Good job CCWS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea. That said, I could see releasing them quarterly. The important part is announcing them at least 6 months in advance. If I'm looking at a date on a competitors season say in November, but I'd rather run with Chump if they do that track in say February, but Chump doesn't publish their dates for the next year until after the early entry deadline for the other series, then I'm screwed. Exactly what happened at Sonoma this season. I would have gone to the Chump race there, but they didn't announce until after I'd already paid my deposit for Lemons.
