2011 Race At Charlotte Motor Speedway - Format?

Good to see you and Jeff entered after all the work you two did to get this race back on the schedule. We would not be racing at Charlotte if you had not put in the time to put initial numbers together for our BOD to look at. :023:

Drop Vicki a note if you need anything fixed, she will be home for the next 2 weeks on leave recuperating.

Hey Ron,

What is this???

ITE
39 Ron Earp Yellow 1966 RCR Lola T70 Spyder Team Yellow Snow

That yellow car a few pages back. We've been working on making it an enduro car and there isn't any reason it can't come to CMS and turn a few laps. More of a testing thing for us than racing. Wish I had my ITS Z (well, not really but for this race, yes) so I could race with you guys. Can't be Team Improved Pirate anymore as I don't have a skull on my car. However, it is mighty yellow so Yellow Snow works.

Happy to offer a bit of help. Proof positive that change CAN HAPPEN, even in the SCCA! :)

Chris you might want to check our registration. You're listed just CCPS now -- hope you run the SARRC with us. Should be very competitive race.

Thats correct Jeff, I have Travers old car. Can't wait, have a good friend coming down from Cleveland to split the double/double. Hoping to have the car more reliable with a stock fuel tank and some other minor things cleaned up. Of course the best bang for the buck is new tires:happy204:

Yep, running both the double sarrc and double ccps. Splitting the races with Greg Vandersluis. We will each run a sarrc and we are going to do driver change in both ccps
 
You might want to check your registration. Doesn't look like you are signed up for the SARRC.

Will open tomorrow on DLB. Supps and schedule (Without Sanction number) if you want to see the format. Garage rentals will open next week and will be on first come basis. Cup and Nationwide are both available for $100 for the weekend. Track will let us know early next week if they are going to offer a test day.

Steve, will there be a test day? How do we reserve garage space?
 
We are setting the garages up to open for rental on Monday. Track will give us an answer then on test day as well. I will post as soon as I know and send emails to everyone registered so far.

In the past, didnt they limit the amount of cars out for the test day to 50?

Revved up for this one. The banking at Charlotte is just way, way cool. We've got 7 or 8 S cars already signed up with some regulars not on the list, so I suspect we will have 15 or so by the time the event rolls around.

That will be one hell of a RX7/Z car/TR8 draft on the banks.

Should be a ton of fun.

Let's hope that isn't a literal statement.

I have to get the shifter straightened out before it can come. One of the cables stiffened up at the UTCC and I need to figure out if it was a temporary mis-adjustment thing or a component is damaged.

It is sort of strange but it is above the race as a separate registration, almost like another event.

Quoted by Estus White:


I am trying to determine the feasibility of a pre race test day, and quite honestly at this late of a date it most likely is not possible to organize one, but I decided to put this feeler out there anyway.

OK, here is the deal. SCCA could not lock in a Friday test day at Charlotte because of prior Speedway commitments, so there is no event test day.

We can rent the track for a private test on Tuesday the 16 of August. It will take a minimum of 35 cars to break even at around $300.00 each. (I do not have exact quotes on insurance and other necessities yet.)

I need a quick head count of drivers that would be willing to commit to the test day (ON TUESDAY before the race). If I can get enough response, I'll contact the Speedway again and set it up.

I don't have any email addresses except CCPS so please forward this to anyone that might have an interest in this possible Tuesday test day.

Thanks,
Estus White
