Well the title of this thread is now self fulfilling. The CCR BOD voted to remove this race from our schedule. We are looking at options to replace it but do not expect an announcement anytime soon.
Factors leading to this decision:
Pending closure at the time of Lowes by owners that put all race dates there on hold.
MARRS series decided to stay home this year for all races and just a SARRC was too big a risk.
The expected rate increase that made it even less of a possible break even event.
Economy that is expected to see a drop in numbers at many races.
Long story short we have made the decision to bag it for 08 and focus on our National in Feb. at CMP and Memorial day double SARRC/CCPS/ECR at CMP. We are looking at adding a time trial or PDX to Monday as we will be racing Saturday and Sunday with a similar schedule to last year. Worked well to give the drivers with a long tow Monday to get home. Wanted to get this out so you can plan your race schedule for 08.
We would also like to encourage some of you to try hillclimbs this year. We have 2 of the best sites we have ever run. Wolf Ridge, and Eagles Nest.
Thanks to all that supported CCR races in 07 and we look forward to another great year.
