I know Dave will be shocked but I really like this idea. I thought RA was a lot closer. If I looked correctly just 4.5 hours less then Mid Ohio.

No surprise. LOL.


I love the idea that it moves every year. This is what Ive been advocating for since the 3rd year at Midohio. Every region with a track capable of holding the champs will get a chance to host and sleep in their own beds.

COTA is getting greedy so it may be hard to land that place. SCCA was going to run another event there in march then COTA decided to raise their weekend rental fee from $120k to $300k due to how many people showed last year. Kinda messed up.

Screw COTA. I just hate the fact that we all supported the idea of the track. I wonder if we would have been so happy about it if we had known they were not going to give a shit about club racing?

Cool; next offer will be $50k after NOBODY shows up for a $1k entry fee event... but they're probably not running AI/CMC anyway...

heh, i am on their [COTA] email/phone list and last couple was for a 'track day'. When I called them back I responded with an uncontrollable "what? I'm sorry? I didn't hear that".... it was $2500 for ONE DAY PER DRIVER

We're going to F1 this year, but with V8 supers gone there is diminishing interest in attending events given the ownership.

The track really is an amazing place to race. It flows really well and has tons of room to pass. Just sucks they are so snobby.

very much ditto

F1 can leave after next year imho (I want to see the new cars) - place needs to go under and change hands to a group that knows how to actually run a race track.

Talks are still on about V8 Supercars visiting COTA in 2015 and onward AFAIK. As for the track day's, they've sold out the last couple within hours of being announced so it's still demand, meet supply.

I still say Kellam has the best record.
2010 Texas CMC Regional Champion
2010 CMC Summer Shootout Champion at Hallet
2010 CMC National Champion
Sounds like the Triple Crown to me.
Cheers.
