MWSC Schedule?

[TS310C]

Bill or anyone else,

Does the MWSC have a schedule for next year yet?

Kwas is "working on it" We usually have to wait until the NHRA and IHRA schedules are out to avoid having a conflict with them. Then we need to talk to all five race tracks and see were they can fit us in to their schedules as well.
I know that the MASCA has posted their schedule but ,they only go to two tracks and have eight races. Where as we (the MWSCS) go to five different tracks for 14-16 races.So it takes us a little longer.

You can bet that I will post the 2012 MWSCS schedule as soon as it's finalized!

Thanks for asking!

I see Route66 has us listed on their schedule for a couple of races. What are the 5 tracks that are you guys looking at for next year? Personally, I would like to see it at our 4 core tracks:Byron,Cordova, Route 66 and the Grove.It seems when the MWSC travels to tracks other than those four, they pick up racers for that particular race, but those new racers never seem to go to any of the other MWSC races to help support the series.

Well were once again going to Indy and while we do not get a lot of racers by traveling beyond our four core race tracks you mentioned if we don't try to let other people experience racing with us ,we will stop growing and our numbers will shrink and eventually there won't be enough of us to make it worth while.(Every year we lose one or two racers )
Then you'll be back to towing 4-8 hours to go to the NHRA/IHRA races which in the case of the NHRA represent 3-4 days and only one race.( Not to mention the poor payout)
We have in the past gone to Earlville, Havanna, US 41, and Martin all of which we have not gone back to for various reasons.
Ryan is an example of someone we may picked up on because we went to Earville.
If you have some suggestions as to other ways to attract racers to give us a try I'm definitely interested.

Bill, for what it's worth I think you have a point. I didn't race with you last year, but I just didn't get out much last year. The year before that I raced with you at Cordova and Earlville (both good tracks for the most part). If you want to grow at all or at least gain new members to make up for those that "retire" you will have to expand your area a bit. I would like to plan to attend some races with you guys this year if I can make it work. I would like to say I will be able to race a bit more than I did last year and I enjoy racing with your group. Depending on the dates, I would like to go to Cordova, route 66 and possibly Indy. I would prefer to only go to the 2 day races as it obviously makes more sense to hit 2 races with one tow if possible. I don't think you will see me at Byron (Ron drives me nuts) and I haven't been to the grove since NHRA stopped racing there years ago. From what I remember it was rarely safe enough to run 1/4mile there and we often had to switch to 1/8th mile.

Just my .02

We all, as you stated "would prefer to only go to the 2 day races as it obviously makes more sense to hit 2 races with one tow if possible."
That's why it's so fustrating when some tracks only want to give us one day races (last year we when to one on Saturday and another on Sunday)
We each of us pay the race track for the use of their facilities at the gate and ask for nothing but a little track time and it difficult in some cases to understand why they don't want to take our money?.
Were all about affordable fun racing with a fair payout and getting two chances to race in a weekend just make sense to us too.

It's my understanding that they will
