2012 LODRS schedule

BKSG1198 · 11-04-2011, 08:23 AM

Last year it came out on the 6th of November, I heard that the D-1 Schedule is complete just waiting on a couple other divisions to settle up with tracks. Also hearing that there will be a big announcement at Pomona regarding the Alky Cars. They will be split into 3 sep divisions (East, Central, West) and will only run at division races that the tracks are suitable to handle the speeds they produce. So I would assume that Cecil, Leb Valley, E-Town might not have Alky next year at the divisionals which may open it up for us to have either a Fri-Sat event or Sat-Sun Event and not 3 or 4 day deals and open it up for T/D & T/S to be at more events.

Rob all that means is some other class will bump SG !!! lol

Seriously it sounds like someone finally figured out that Alky cars are dwindling and really belong at the bigger shows, or maybe match type races...like the article says to promote attendence....

As far as tracks that can handle the speeds....why cant LVD or E Town handle them, if Garlits could go 200 at Island !!!! Maybe he had better equipment in 1964 ??? ha...

Probably because Garlets' car weighed about 1500# @ 200 mph and the minimum weight of a TA/FC is 2275# going 50 -60 mph faster and the mandatory carbon fiber brakes wear out pretty fast.
I've used up the pads at Island going 165 @2700# !

Really? So one race will determine the Division Champ and the All-Star Rep? That will be one hell of a race! Get your tickets now.

From what I've heard the alky cars will not be running for divisional points in 2012. It's going to be 2 or 3 "regions" and the points will be regional points. The divisional tracks that chose to have them will be part of the regional series.

Or they figured out letting them in free and then paying out a purse when they don't draw spectators in, is not good business.

Until someone figures a way to compete with Manzo, it seemed like a waste of time, he's that far ahead of everyone. I wont miss them personally, tho I enjoyed watching Frank raise the bar.

You hit the nail right on the head sir! To let them in for free under the guise that they put people in the seats is rediculous. I for sure won't miss them.
