Looks really good, Edgar. I like the way the Pro 8 is spread out. The only bad day may be in August (heat) but everything else looks great.

What? only one race in july instead of 7?

Edgar, great job on the schedule and dealing with the Pro 8 issues. I like the non-points race at the beginning of the season......a good way to get tuned up for the season. The 10.0 index is as good an idea as anything that was proposed. Do you know if there is a prelim schedule for Sunday yet?





Whoops.....saw the raindates.....deleted question...duh.

I love that schedule. Only 1 race per month in the summer.

Also, the 4 races early in the year is a great idea.

This schedule is the results of the dedication and loyalty you the racers, sponsors and Edgar have for this series.
It hard for the Napps not be flexability with Edgars requests, and why, this series has a history now of a proven winner for everyone.

Great Job

Alan acutally this is one conflict with the NSCA schdule, June 24th.

I tried not to have a conflict but it would have meant too much of an inconvinience for the Corvette Challenge racers so I will have to bite the bullet in one direction or another when the time comes.
I don't think anyone else is planning on a full NSCA schdule but me.

I did steer clear of the Atco and Cecil Maryland races so we can all go to that those races.

Well, theres already 3 races I won't be attending!
But I still applaud the schedule & the work that went into it.
Life was easy before marriage & kids, wasn't it??

I can barely remember life without obligations..
Back in the day, my biggest decision was what diner to go to while skipping class, and what party to hit later on that weekend...

Yea Ralph.... the problem is the conflicts are not MY scheduling!

All BS affairs the NEIGHBORS have invited US to...
I dont' even KNOW these people!!!!!
I TOLD Donna I WASN'T GOING going to those affairs, and she pulled out the divorce papers faster than an Ellis red light!

I HATE going to functions where I don't know the principles & especially don't CARE about the people HOSTING them!!!!!

Hey, maybe I'll go to the banquet by myself & Donna can owe me at least one!
