i know Walter and the BOD are on it, just hope we get to race again and don't lose contingency $ from manufactures. And I hope we all remember this isn't TMRA ;)

Thursday's are member days at MSRH, zero chance they will be able to give that up.Quote:

Lets say they gave us that Thursday. Would it be viable? And would the club members be interested in that format? I don't want to build false hope, but I think it's something worth looking in to.Quote:

Maybe my self preservation function is set lower than yours. I've seen what living forever looks like and it's not all it's cracked up to be. [emoji4]Quote:

Joe, not ridden it...walked it. Have you had a chance to walk the track and take a look at the runoff areas and what what they look like? That's my concern. Big drop offs, lots of rocks, lots of big rocks, etc. Agree, trying to find a work around is something to be considered.
I like Alonzo's idea, maybe Team60 and Solo30's Fri and Sat.
Yes Jeremy, I have and I agree with you. Thats why I also mentioned it with the intent of what it would take to prepare for next year. And having looked at it both ways, walking and riding, and having attended multiple track days as well as race days to the point of nausea I was curious as to what it would take to prepare it to make it useable AND add variety. Maybe this didn't come across well with my New York accent. :-)Quote:

Anyway, as far as viewing the track and its runoff areas, I prefer the ignorance of speed. Ciao!
The 1.3 at MSR is not an option.

4) knowing what a 1:15.1 at Cresson would even feel like
5) being bummed that TWS closed because it could mean I would probably lose contingency $'s
