Moroso 24 cancelled?

[Bildon]

OK perhaps I've been under a rock..or concentrating too hard on the NE Div lately...but has the Moroso 24 been cancelled? I don't see it on the FL Region calendar and there isn't any info on their site about a 2002 race.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe last years problems with registration was a sign of bad things to come. Let's hope that the calendar is just messed up! It was an excellent event once you got past the gate! New Years just wouldn't be the same with out it.

The race will not occur on the previous date between Christmas and New Years as it has in the past. The Florida Region Board of Directors voted last week to move the race to a date in the first quarter of 2003. We have established a race comittee and are negotiating for dates as we speak.

This change was made based on input from workers and participants regarding the close proximity to Christmas. No doubt many of the negative experiences last year were due to volunteer shortages caused in part by the timing of the race during the holidays.

Please indicate your support for the race at the Florida Region website forum at http://pub21.ezboard.com/bfloridaregionscca

Chip, Thanks a lot for the info!
We did this race 2 years in a row. For those who have never tried to race at 4AM after practicing, qualifying and wrenching all day...this is an amazing event...it's really the 36 hours of Moroso.

Preparation and teamwork come into play in a way you usually never see in SCCA sprint racing.

The feeling of accomplishment after finishing a 24 hour event is great. I'll never forget it.

Still haggling over dates etc. I know it seems like a slow process, that's because open dates at Florida tracks are hard to come by. We are working, and expect to announce something soon. Keep an eye on the web site at www.floridaregionscca.com
