Thread: NOLA: anyone have info on the format of the weekend?

    NOLA: anyone have info on the format of the weekend?

    Understand that some other regions run two races a weekend, not four.

    How many races at NOLA? Schedule is not yet posted that I've seen. Not sure I want to trek all the way to NOLA for two races if that's the case.

    Last two years it's been the four race format.

    I hope for 4 races as well. I'm already signed up but 2 races will not be worth the tow.

    If only two races I would rather go to CO.

    I had an hour long conversation with will a few months ago. His job is to move Texas to two race weekends and build the HPDE program . blitz is already losing races and is down to 3 unless we really bitch. Be prepared to start fighting for your 4 race format....
    Ah, fugg it.

    Nothing against Will, but I didn't drop big $$$ to build a road race car only to race 2 times per weekend 7 times a year. Unlike DE and TT guys, we're required to tow our shit to get to the track; too much time/$$$ for only 2 races. I'm not getting that much more race time per weekend than the autocross guys...

    Do we need to start a petition or start writing in letters?

    Sounds like NASA needs HPDE only weekends then which would also open up some different places to run.

    Whoever makes NOLA have a sit-down and get some info.

    I will be there and will discuss with Will. I don't want to start spreading mis-information, as the intraweb is a nasty place for gospel that ends up not being correct, but sways decisions of the group to attend or not...

    This, if true, is really bad info for me. I have been thinking of building/purchasing a new CMC car. If we lose even one race per weekend I have to find a new hobby.
    I was not going to make the trip to NOLA but have been rethinking the past few days. I guess I better wait to see what the format is going to be. So does NASA want to be a race series or The Drivers Edge?
