    2017 TWS Projections

    Currently there are factors in place that will adversely impact my attendance at Hallett yet again in 2017, so if I had to pick another long distance event the #2 is TWS hands down. Are we thinking they'll keep kicking that can or is it up in the air still? I can probably pull something off in the Jan/Feb/March/April timeframe if it's not on top of an RM event and if I don't break the car. I have a local event to attend in Oct and insufficient funds to run 2 events in 1 month unless you fine folks want to sponsor this mid-pack slacker. I'll push extra hard for your RCRs, what do ya say?

    Oh-I saw this and all I wanted to add was the projection of the 24 ahead of the 55. I don't know but the grapevine I heard was that it was for real this time and would be our last event. That gravepine isn't from NASA either.

    I guess the "last time" game finally wore off, reg is only at 55 people per the official listing, it may also be due to the rising costs of registration, I was really surprised at $359 considering TWS is on it's last leg. Maybe it's the man trying to capitalize on the hype of TWS?

    I wonder how 2017 looks, might be bad news for the DFW folk.

    Couldn't we do Cresson twice? I like going up there from Houston. Maybe ECR will finally fix their crap too? Maybe we should branch out and add a dirt track to the mix.

    If true I will only make two or three races next year.

    No warning on the $359.00

    Ding, Ding, Ding!

    I hope ECR can raise the funding, eliminating one of the straights and adding some high speed esses would make it an excellent course.

    Hallett, what else is there to say.

    Houston is a long haul for me and the concrete patch eats up tires on my car. Been to Nola twice, not much interest in going back.

    The COTA short course would be good. Has anyone driven San Marcos? Maybe some crossover events with RM or Mid-West? High Plains is a bit far but it's a really fun track, Road America?

    The other regions are holding regional points races on national caliber tracks, why aren't we?

    I think there might be a few new tracks in the sights for next season. The schedule will hopefully be solidified by the end of October.

    Curious why folks don't like NOLA besides the long tow? Went there for the first time this year and thought the facility and track was great.

    I would love to find a city that would host an amateur street course race.

    LOL, that'd be an immediate first and last with CMC.
