Technical Advisory Committee mcoppola Posted October 29, 2019 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 A lotta grey areas there... No love for (or from?) the PNW...

Jer Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 We are likely adding Laguna still. They don't plan the next year until December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bill Strong Posted October 29, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Laguna and Utah. did you guys not look at the image or the PDF?I can draw a bigger picture if you need it It has nothing to do with Mr. Media. It has everything to do with the lack of cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bill Strong Posted October 29, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I figure we will do a northern attack on the PNW and sweep down from Canadia. May take a bit. But we will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 No BIR? Lame. I hear the new management is cutting decent deals on track rental too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55mini Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 They also missed much of the western part of the midwest. I know no cars in that area, they all went else were to race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess we could pull 25-30 cars to this, if it was scheduled for a date the didn't have a big race 2 weeks before or after it.....What would it take to break even or make a bit of money for the series to run it? Also, just run the comp course for two days, no need to do the Donneybrooke(IMHO), from an ease of use standpoint. We love BIR, staying at the Condos and hanging out with everyone is a blast, the comp course is a lot of fun, only downside is the bird sized mosquitoes that come out as soon as the sun starts to set! We could commit two cars... maybe get another 23 to commit and we could get the staff to arrange something??

I don't see why 30 cars wouldn't be doable, and with the citrus series having a successful race there last year, there may be even more interest from locals trying to get more use out of their cars. And yes comp course for sure. Not only because it's the more technical layout, but because the facility can rent out the dragstrip and pro paddock at the same time to cut track rental costs owed by Champcar, which lowers the break even number. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMiskoe Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 So the map at the top of this thread has different events than the schedule page does. Specifically the New Hampshire Event on June 27-28. Which one is more accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 If we could get the Texas people to tow up to Colorado, maybe we could add High Plains in 2021! If you haven't driven HPR, you're missing out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veris Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Area27, BIR, and Devner would be great additions for the MIDWEST and NORTHWEST. Currently Salk Lake City (16hrs) and Road America (18hrs) are my shortest tows. At BIR I like running both courses, but either-way it would be nice to have back on the schedule. High Plains in Denver is a fun track. Area27 looks stunning. I'm looking to run 4 races next year so a little help on the logistics would be nice. re: shorter tows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bill Strong Posted November 19, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Can we find more weeks in a year? Then we could do all these tracks. But until that happens, we can't. I am sorry. I am already working close to 40 weekends a year, plus my normal 7-day work week. not kidding.

Administrators Bill Strong Posted November 19, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 and know that Chisek is in the same boat as me. We find ourselves up at 10pm sorting out issues after starting the day at 7am. and I am not complaining. My wife started a new job this year, so she has no leave built up. so she doesn't complain. yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
