This is really disappointing since I missed the April event.

Racing the 1.8 would suck.

I'm curious why people think this? When I started doing track events, the TWS 1.8 was all there was. (Really - MSRH, MSRC, Eagles, COTA, NOLA, Harris Hill, Grand Sport, etc. didn't exist). People used to race it both clockwise and counterclockwise. I've watched a bunch of SCCA racing on the 1.8 and I thought it was great racing. For driving, I would prefer the 2.9 but I've had lots of fun on the 1.8. My list of events shows I did 13 events on the 1.8 before the 2.9 was put back in service. I also did a Driver's Edge event a couple of years ago that did 4 course configurations in a single weekend including the 1.8 CW and CCW.
The same racing vs. driving is true for other tracks. I've driven TMS. Holly crap, that is a terrible track to drive. A bunch of u-turns and completely annihilated brakes. But I've heard multiple people say the racing/passing there is great. Sounds like we might get to find out next year...
COTA is a spectacular track to drive. From the stands, the racing wasn't so hot. I actually think the short course at COTA would be much better racing. I had fun driving NOLA but the racing isn't so hot.
Anyway, I like doing different tracks and different configurations. For most of you, this will probably the only chance to say you raced on the 1.8. If you like it, great. If not, you probably won't have to do it ever again...

I raced on it once at night. That's good enough for me.
I agree with Richard except for COTA. Not a fun track to drive IMHO. I have never driven the 1.8 so I can't really say if I like it or not. I would rather run the 2.9 then have them tear up the track but I guess we don't get a vote.

I have done a DE on the 1.8 and it sucked.
