Topic: 2018 Schedule?

Can someone point me to next year's schedule?  I need to plan ahead for next year.  Thanks!

Re: 2018 Schedule?

Doesn't exist yet, tends to come out oct-nov.  Most races tend to end up about the same time each year.

Re: 2018 Schedule?

Ok thanks.  I was looking on the "Schedule" page, which ironically does not have the schedule.

Re: 2018 Schedule?

Yea the new website schedule is weird. I liked the one page per year thing. Quicker to look up.

Re: 2018 Schedule?

Re: 2018 Schedule?

I think mothers day is when we can get to NJMP and Summit point had lots of problems every year.  Many with wild life.

Wow.... Wish I could say that's never happened to me... Had back to back years with hits... not on a track thou.
That said I'll take the chance.

Re: 2018 Schedule?

There's always a mothers day and fathers day race. It's when tracks are cheap.

I'd love to go back to Shenandoah, but the big risk isn't on me or you, it's on Jay and the Insurance Company. Fun as it is, that track is just too tight, and the runoff for the carousel is solid concrete.

Or we could push for Dominion instead...if you are trying to do something very local.

Dominion is full of the hard stuff I hear and depending on traffic it could take longer.. BUT We'd likely do both if available.

Re: 2018 Schedule?

As long as people are making requests and comments for 2018....
Looking at Gingerman April 2018 for our second race (team TriLam).... to the powers that be, if there is any way to make it any other weekend other than April 21/22.... that is the one business trip a year I can't miss. I will make an extra contribution to the bribe box if we can race April 7/8 or April 14/15.

Oh, and if we could ever get to race at Road America, oh man, that would be so awesome.

Um, those of use that race early April at Gingerman would not applaud the first weekend of that month.

I would also love to see Lemons return to RA. It's a great track. Problem is, it's also quite expensive to race there. Getting an affordable date to race there would require either holding the race during the week (like the Monday-Tuesday race in '12) or holding the race very early or very late in the season (like the November race in '13).
Also, the midwest region for what ever reason doesn't support a RA race. I don't know if it was the travel distance or the odd ball dates or what, but both previous times that Lemons raced there had a low number of cars show up. And sadly, low car counts tend to mean we don't go back to that track.

Fourteen time loser. You'd think I'd know better by now.

Yet somehow WRL gets a favorable weekend and runs with around 70 cars. They did share Friday practice with gridlife but that's not a big deal.

WRL also has a bunch of corporate sponsors. Who knows how much it Really costs for a weekend.

Re: 2018 Schedule?

We've run there before but part of the problem might be getting a weekend and not being to close to the tracks that have been supporting us for years.  Both Gingerman and Autobahn CC seem to have been really good to us and supportive.  I'm sure to be good the tracks that treat us well and not cancel all our dates with them.

Re: 2018 Schedule?

Summit Point is extraordinarily unlikely to happen again. So is Road America.

Last I talked to Jeff (last weekend), they are looking at making a couple of changes to juggle some conflicts that happened this year.

Re: 2018 Schedule?

Talking to Jay he said that people have been hounding him about an east coast 24 hour race. I wouldn't expect to see one in 2018, but he did seem to imply that at some point it might need to happen just to prove to everyone how terrible they are. I'd sign up in a heartbeat, knowing full well just how miserable it would probably be. But I need to say I've done it once.

The above is not a confirmation of anything, just something we talked about briefly. For good reason HQ hates running full 24 hours races.
