Surprising to see no racing until April. And it doesn't look like a TnT is available before the first day of summit series points.

I stated here months ago that Sandy flood cars at $$$$$$ pre acre storage would determine when the track would open.

At least we have a place to race. Don't forget only two tracks left in Jersey. That should say it all.

We can whine and complain all we want. Fact is, if you're a corvette racer only, you have no choice but to race at E-Town. We're fortunate they're even continuing this class.

If you're a drag racer, there's plenty of racing all season long.

And they (all tracks...not just RP) are fortunate that people are paying good money to populate the class. It's a two way street.

And the only reason we were catered to was that we self funded the series. We brought a lot to the table that RP couldn't refuse. Great sponsores that were excited to be part of the series. But now with ECS gone as well as Edgar there is a huge gap as to who is running the series and who is paying as title sponsor. Things were as good as they were because some people put a lot of time and money to see we got what we wanted from RP now no one has stepped up to do that job and now we see the results.

The Corvette challenge was RP's largest race series for many years, we and others have poured a ton of money into it also, it shouldn't be considered doing us a favor IMHO.
