Rick.Cook23@yahoo.com Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Just wondering(again): Why do we not have more races in Texas? For the upcoming Willow Springs race, there are currently only 10 entries. For the Thunderhill race, only 4 entries. Yet we routinely sell-out the races we have in Texas. And with there being multiple tracks (Eagles Canyon, MSRH, H2R), and race weather all year round, why are we not having more races in Texas? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Finding open weekends that don't have dates, and aren't a conflict with other regional races probably plays a big role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETR Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Bill Strong said: And for the record, COTA is not on the plan. That's good. COTA is just too expensive to rent and turnouts have always seemed limited for reasons. Not good for sustainability, and I don't think it accurately represents the demand to race at this level in Texas. WRL has gone to the moon, Lemons is Lemons, AER isn't around (yet?), and LDRL isn't around (yet?). Come and take it CC. I'd be thrilled if MSRH and ECR made it on the calendar, it's been too long. 12 minutes ago, Bill Strong said: NOLA 8+7-hour enduro November 18,19,20, 2022 Edited June 15, 2022 by ETR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 When I was on the Board we were looking at bringing back COTA and Indy once every three years. It costs a small fortune to rent those tracks and we need sellouts to make it a net zero proposition. Having fewer races would likely increase attendance when we do go back. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
