The 18th is quickly approaching.

 

Next event, May 16th.

 

AGGGGGGHHHHH!
I'll be out of town for this one...
We'll have to try next month!

 

Mahjik,

Have you heard anything about when they plan to make the track changes? I assume they intend to do it prior to this year's Runoffs in October, but their schedule looks pretty full.

 

I only heard rumors of track changes. I never heard any of those rumors confirmed. I can ask them on Wednesday but I would assume Chuck, that you would probably know a lot more about it than me.

 

They are going to change turns 1,2, & 8. They are going to make the those 3 turns less sharp and much faster, as a result of a tremendous amount of negative feedback from Runoffs competitiors. Here's a link to a drawing: http://www.scca.com/_FileLibrary/Fil...pt-2.5_900.jpg Personally, I think it'll improve the track by adding some speed and excitement to an other wise slow, relatively dull track. However, I have no idea when the actually intend to make the changes.

 

Yep, those are the same changes I heard about, but there was no mention about them the last Wednesday event. I'll ask them this week and see what they say.

I'm actually the opposite. I like the sharper turns so I was quite pleased to see that changes hadn't been made last month. I had just assumed they didn't plan to make them, but maybe they plan to have it done later this year.

 

The changes will be made in July.

 

Thanks!! I was really hoping they would do it before the August SCCA National event so we could get to race on it prior to the Runoffs.

Luckily, he left out any photos of the Firebird after it went into a wall.

 

When is the next event?

as i recall they said that the track work will cancel the july touring club, and they'll have 2 in august instead.

 

^^ Bump

The next event is coming up!

 

Next event in August.

 

^ Bump

August is approaching.

 

Two events in August, or no?

 

They aren't listing a second event in August on the website. I doubt there will be one.

 

Looks like the event is canceled. Not sure why ATM.
