Division 2 adds Charlotte

This is a good thing. So possibly the director change is for the good, even if he doesn't come over and personally greet everyone.

So they schedule it on top of Richmond Pro-Am and TOC Qualifier. No, thanks. I can run two races in one weekend at Richmond, with national event contingency on the Sunday race. And I won't have to lock my stuff up like with the AutoFair crowd zMAX will have.

Not only that, they scheduled it on top of the Division 3 race at Bowling Green, where everyone goes to tune up for Indy. Bowling Green hosts as many as 600 cars, from Divisions 1, 2, and 3, among others for that weekend, as well as having a Monday test session.

I love the idea of having a Division 2 Lucas race at Charlotte, I hope the scheduling doesn't cause it to be a flop. I'm sure we'll be at Bowling Green, as much as I'd like to run a Lucas race at Charlotte. If they hadn't scheduled them on top of one another, we might have been able to support both.

You can bet everyone who is going to Indy will be at Bowling Green, as well as a lot of others, slashing the number of cars Charlotte will have to draw from.

Maybe they can reschedule it. I don't think it was done vendictively.

i agree....

Div. 1 Rising Sun was also on that date in the pass years but will now run Cecil a week before that date. So instead of running Div 1,3 and 5 , they will run 2,3 and 5

Art, I don't think it was either.


I think they're wanting to try it, and since they already have something else going on that weekend, it doesn't cost them as much to try it that weekend. Unfortunately, they run a serious risk of getting a low car count that they might not have gotten otherwise. I think if they see a low car count, they'll dismiss the whole thing as a waste of time, effort, and money.

We're hungry for more races in Division 2, and we'd like to support a race at Charlotte.

Re: Division 2 adds Charlotte
 

That I'll agree with. I'd love to race there, but scheduling needs to be done better.

If only you people knew how hard Rich worked to make this date happen. (sigh)

I'm fully aware the majority of you are gonna whine, gripe and complain no matter WHAT happens but, for the few of you who care, it wouldn't kill you to send an e-note of thanks or appreciation to your Divsion II Director.
