2018 schedule

[Al Fernandez]

Personally I'm very excited to have one nationals event and that said event is at COTA. I'm fairly sure that weekend will cost more than the recent Tx region only event, which is a bummer, but hopefully the extra hoopla and additional drivers makes up for it. As to the Tx schedule...yeah, bummed about the relatively few number of events.

Were there rumblings of an ECR resurface? Or am I imagining things?

I hope, I love that place!!
Last I heard they have sold off percentages of the business and they are owned by multiple people, making decisions hard to agree on.
I do hope we are able to go back there soon. Last time we raced there it was pretty bumpy but not terrible.

You heard right. Apparently they recently cancelled an event to do some grinding for part of the short term solution.

We have a contractor here in house at work that's pretty familiar with the facility - I'll get an update if I can.

The biggest thing I noticed about the schedule is that there are no TBDs. Does anyone know if there is an intent or desire by management to add an event or two if the opportunity arises?

Well that would be disappointing for it to be more whether for the regional or the national. Would much rather run Hallett or Cresson twice. But I do like having a single Nat. Championship and cool that it isn't a 24 hour tow. At least for CMC there is the opportunity to actually have a class. Wish it was middle of October but guess that might be F1 time.

What about all of us showing up with SCCA to run in A Sedan at Hallett or Cresson? The event I looked at Cresson this year I think was about the same entry fee and track time however it was only 3 races. No clue what tire or rules they have as it's like the A sedan rule book is hidden from the intraweb. Or we could have an outlaw class on the 200 treadwear Falkens that Spec Corvette is running.

Note worth pointing out is that the SCCA runoffs at Indy had over 1,000 entries this year.

MSRC does not have another weekend available for us. We've tried multiple times in recent years to make that happen.

I'm actually buying a set of the RT615K's for track days -- will report back on how they do.

I ran them years and years ago and found them to be greasy. Granted my pressures were too high without me knowing, but I replaced them with some Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 which were all the rage at the time and those tires were MUCH more consistent. I'll admit I'd figured out tire pressures by then, but the difference was simply mind blowing. Knowing what I know now, there was more than tire pressures playing into that. Having said all that, the K is supposed to have much better manners and its size offerings have had me willing to give them another shot. Daniel have you ever run a street tire on a road course before? I'm curious to hear your impressions if you have some frame of reference still for the difference between our R comps and a sticky street tire.
