Mike, if Paul Newman could not get us a race on city streets I believe there is NO chance that we could (good looking as you are).

What is the word on Thunderbolt Raceway? I heard that a few months ago that Paul Walsack flew over the site and saw dirt being moved. What is the most effective way for us to get a race there? Should we have one at another of our venues first to demonstrate our ability? Do we need to lobby "national"?

Chris,

Paul Who???? *grin*

I didn't say it would be easy, I just said that's what I would like to do. I don't know of any other region that runs a street circuit club race (I think there is a POC event) and I think it would be appealing to a lot of drivers.

I heard that as well. But still no commitment on when the track will be completed and when they will put cars on the track.

The problem isn't with national. They've been very supportive of our attempts to pick up another club race. The issue will be if the track management will be willing to give us the opportunity to host a race.
