Why so many one day races? One of the most attractive things about running with you guys was the "2 races in one weekend" factor. I also noticed that you are not going back to Tri State. Bad experience?

Not trying to be critical, just asking.

Well two races per one tow is our goal, but two of the racetracks didn't want a MWSCS race(s) on Sunday.
Tri-state a Bad experience? Not at all,Tri-state was a great experience, but several members (not me*) thought the tow out there was too long.

(*IMO Tri-state is a great little race track and the folks out there are some of the nicest I've met so I hope we go back soon.)

I certainly understand how difficult it can be to schedule a series like yours. I used to be involved in a S/G association and saw first hand how it is. I think the tracks are dealing with the same financial problems that most businesses (and people) are dealing with. If they don't have enough going on that day, I am sure they are not going to want to open up just for a super comp race. Joliet has never really been that accommodating anyway. Seems like all they care about is the circle track next door.

I am sure I will still come play with you guys a few times this year. I am not sure I can tolerate listning to Leak 4 times, so I doubt I will make all the Byron races. I am disappointed there is no race at Tri State. It is a bit farther than some places, but a nice facility and very nice folks. I would also like to see a two day race a Cordova, but I guess it is close enough that it isn't that big of a deal. We will just have to see how it goes come spring.

Thanks to everyone at MWSCA for their hard work setting this series up.

I just noticed that IRP and the Grove are both 1/8th mile. I always thought that was the stupidest thing to have an 1/8th mile race at a 1/4 mile track.

sc3912 · 02-23-2011, 07:18 PM

I would like to suggest we drop the Cordova race and just make it a 2-day at Byron.

After the March MeetingThe MWSCS schedule is pretty much finalized with one small change Indy will be a 1/4 mile. races

Bill,

Thanks for the info. The change at Indy is a welcome one. Hopefully we will be able to tow out there and run with you guys.

Looks good to me. Not sure if I will ever return to the grove after the starter running us knowing there was oil on the track. Then arguing it was water.
