Sorry folks, we couldn't find a way to make it make financial sense in the end. We would need almost 70 cars to make it break even and interest feedback had us falling well short of that. When we first talked about doing this event, we were also planning on 2 other "traditional" events but neither of those worked out ( a Reg/Nat @ Gingerman at the end of April and a possible Dbl Regional with a PDX @ LORI in October) Gingerman decided to give the dates we requested to a vintage organization and we haven't been able to make the headway with LORI on revitalizing the road course as we had hoped, (we knew that was a LONG shot at best going in) so losing some money on the oval event could be absorbed. With the oval event having to stand on its own, there was just no way we could make the numbers work.

The best way for it to work, is to run on Sat night. Bring 20 cars or more. Work out the payout withthe track. Happens everywhere that there are "touring classes " or clubs that have their own rules. Self teching and keep their own points.
If you were real nice, you maybe could work out some early practice time, to get more on track time. Typical track rental is 100$ per hour for practice.. 500$ per hour with tow trucks and flaggers.
