What are RTR's current thoughts?

[Mike Andrews]

Guys,

I can add some insight to this.

The problem is not whether we want to have another club race, but where would we have it?

There are already races at the tracks that we use.  Well, not counting Jefferson Circuit and Shenandoah Circuit.  I don't think either of those track would be fun to race on.

Those of you that have been on board a while can remember back to when we talked about racing at Formula Motorsports, which never materialized.  We talked about racing at Rausch Creek, again it never materialized and then the Shenandoah Circuit.  That track has been built but after driving it I don't think it would be a track that people would enjoy racing on.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

We even proposed a charity race to the folks at Daytona but it conflicted with an event that Brian Redman was putting together.

There is now a track being considered/built in NJ and we have expressed interest in acquiring a date for a club race.  But I can also assume other clubs have as well. 

So, as you can see it’s not for a lack of trying.  And I suppose we could replace one of our DE’s with a race but the general feeling is that it’s not worth taking something away from our members to host a second race at one of these tracks (and that’s assuming national would allow it).  

So, here we are.  There is considerable interest in a club race, but we can’t find a suitable location.

Now, here’s what I would love to do.  Anybody have any connections with the appropriate people to help/allow us to put together a race through the streets of Philly????  Or Fairmount Park?  Or??????

 

Regards,

Michael
