Preliminary 2022 TireRack.com ChampCar Endurance Series Schedule


Recommended Posts

  • Administrators

Let's start off by letting you know I am releasing this a day early. I am really sorry. I won't do that again.

 

As with every year, this is a preliminary schedule. These are confirmed dates.  We actually have almost 30 event weekends planned for 2022.  

As you can see, our fearless leader was correct in saying that the National Championship will be held at Ozarks International Raceway. I want to also stress that Ozarks Raceway, and Ozarks International Raceway are totally different tracks, a few hours away from each other. Ozarks Raceway is a drag strip, not a road course.  Ozarks Raceway is a drag strip, not a road course.  Ozarks Raceway is a drag strip, not a road course.  Ozarks International Raceway is a road course. That's the one you want to go to. I say this from experience. 

 

Yes, there are some tracks missing from the schedule that I am posting. That's what "Preliminary" means. 

I will update this thread as we get additional dates for tracks finalized.

 

Update - 10/7/2021
Added Watkins Glen, Gingerman, Pittsburgh, and AMP.
More to come

 

Update - 11/10/2021

Events updated. More to be added as we get confirmations from event venues

So with Ozarks being in late April, does it kill the April Road America event?  This plus no fall Road America race due to the repave????  Upper midwest might be down a bit...

If we're doing Ozarks... and it sounds very appealing... my team can't do another April / May race.

This is a discussion we're having as a team as well.  I'd hate to go a full year without racing Road America, but am very intrigued by the new track.

 

Unless we get  a midsummer RA date since the October race is a no go.

 

I know the scheduling is really really complicated, but back to backing 2 truly Midwest races when there's already so few seems sorta like stepping on your own toes.

So,  there had been some talk about some different formats/race lengths these look like the same ole.  Is there some variety coming in the rest of the schedule?

 

Curious.....

 

 

Please be the 24 hours of Road America.  Please be the 24 hours of Road America.  Please be the 24 hours of Road America.

That would be epic for sure.   How would they keep the deer off the track?

 

Just have the old enterprise stay on track and making laps.  It should be able to take care of most of them.

60+ race cars circulating would probably help.

 

I can only imagine how dark some parts of the track would be.  It'd be a race for the ages.

 

Wonder what kind of petition we'd have to circulate to local residents to get a one time waiver for a night race.

Very disappointed no RA race on schedule yet.  Best facilities, best paddock, best safety crew in country and one of the best tracks.  But hey, let’s do more races out west!😉

this is why preliminary information should not be given out, people jump to conclusions.

I think that's on RA actually.

 

Every year it seems like both WRL and CCES don't confirm their RA dates until Nov or Dec.  So I doubt it's a lack of trying on our part.

Still working with Road America. We suggested putting a bulldozer at the kink to add more excitement. They have sent that request onto their lawyers. Our lawyer seem to have lost his cell tower as he is not answering our requests. But it will be sorted.

and we will have a bunch more west events. we are still working the details.

 

Any hints (AKA will a south-west team be reasonably happy?) Haha, we're just itching to put together our 2022 season since we wont get our car done in time to make anything happen this year due to a some parts delays.
