What are RTR's current thoughts?

Genesee Valley BMW CCA runs a three-day event at the Glen, partly DE and partly club race. They just slot practice, qualifying and the race in among the DE run groups and it worked surprisingly well. Of course they have been doing that for years and are well organized. For a first time in a long time event separating race and DE events might be easier for us.

First, if we are going to do this next year it seems that we should start planning now. I have NO experience with this, but it occurs to me that we need dates from Thunderbolt when we can sponsor events as the first priority. Someone wrote here that RTR had requested dates. Can we get an update on what response we have had and what timetable Thunderbolt is on?

Second, it seems to me that we need some committed organizers for a club race. Those of us (not including me) who race probably know alot already, but I suspect they want to race, not work the race. I volunteer this year to attend one or more club races in the area to shadow the sponsoring club staff members in an efforr learn how it's done, if that is useful and someone can introduce me to the right people.

What is the way to push this forward, those of you with real experience? I have enthusiasm, but no experience or expertise.
