Ron Leek (owner of Byron) and I have been talking alot lately, all the dates were confirmed by him. I wonder if that date will be a problem, you're the first to mention that it's Easter.

Just Wondering, I know most other tracks are closed that day, including GLD/U.S. 41/Route66, so I just wanted to confirm this date, I guess I got Excited and started looking foward to April :cool: Maybe Ron didn't know it was Easter, just wanted to confirm ;) Hate to get all ready and no racing :cry

I'll be at all of them except Easter Sunday.
Even NASCAR dosen't race on Easter (and Mother's Day).
GOOD JOB on the schedule though.
Can't wait. :cool:

I'm waiting for a call back from Byron, the Easter date is one of many things I will discuss with the owner. If we push the date back, then I have to push the May date back or I could make the April date Sat the 19th :banghead: . I'll keep everyone informed.

Right now I'm leaning towards changing the April 20th date to April 19th and making it a non-points event. I think it may be a good idea to have a non-points event to give the organizers a chance to work out any kinks in the system before we start the points race. We don't want to make any mistakes that could cost someone points.
