2015 NERRC schedule

[MMiskoe]

No more Cheap Date weekend. I'm sure I am not alone when I say I can remember when the entry was $100 for that weekend. I remember that price because I got to the front of registration line w/o my checkbook (no credit cards or online registration then), but had enough cash to pay the fee.

Pig Roast has been gone for a few years now. All good things do come to an end eventually.

Here's to new traditional weekends at the new tracks.

Kind of sad that Lime Rock isn't on the list of a Championship Trail....

Yes, but there's Nelson!! Interesting to see that and Pittsburgh on the schedule. Palmer would have been nice too.

At the recent MiniCon, the NEDiv Divisional Racing Committee voted to have the Divisional Championship Series series consist of a maximum of eight races at different tracks each year. Since there are currently more than eight active tracks in the division, some track(s) will get bypassed in any given year. A rotation will be set up so that tracks get an equal opportunity over time. Palmer will definitely be in the mix when it comes on line.

Terry, I'm obviously out of the loop when it comes to this series but it seems like the focus is on North East based tracks mostly. What is the reasoning for Nelson and Pittsburgh? Just trying to get some other tracks in the mix?

Mickey - this is how a look at the series goes for me, and it's not a knock on it, just my viewpoint. I look at which events are the most fun, which tracks I enjoy, and have good competition. I then base my racing on that. Summit? Fun track, but if I'm going there it'll be for Labor Day weekend which IMO is one of the premier events on the East Coast for IT. April? Eh. Weather there is often not so appealing; even less than 100 degree heat during the summer. lol

Maybe we need to come up with our own gentleman's championship. Both LRP events (the NARRC runoffs should be a part of this), both Palmer events, one Glen (maybe two), one Thompson, Summit Labor Day, hell at that point I'd throw in one of my least favorite tracks, NHMS.

Again, I realize the chase for a points championship is appealing to many and respect that.

They're Northeast Division tracks.

[Aanselm]

The event at pittsburgh international will be on the new 2.9 mile course. So all of the regional class records will be up for grabs.

So let me see if I understand this Dave. You want to start a Championship with your buddies, raceing at select tracks of your choices, for a points structure that you guys come up with.

Next you will say you want a Spec tire, and your own rookie hazing, and your own seperate banquet and year end trophies. What an awesome idea. (NOT SARCASTIC) It does in fact really work and bolster entries. And its a hoot raceing with the same group of Cheatin Bastards every week. Go Ahead....

[Greg Amy]

Ok, I got an LOL out of that...

But Dan, you missed a key part: create extra-regulatory requirements to restrict preparation and choose not to publish them, keeping them only as word-of-mouth so that if anyone else chooses to enter you can SHUN them into retreat...
