Midwest supercomp series 2011 schedule

I would like to suggest we drop the Cordova race and just make it a 2-day at Byron.

There are already too many races at Byron! Why would they add one more. Its not the Byron super comp association.

I know you had a bad experience at Byron., and dont really want to go there. I am looking at the fact that Cordova is having their points race the same day, while Byron is a test and tune along with the bikes. Also I would rather drive to only one place and save a little diesel. I pretty much have ruled out going to the Indy race if fuel prices keep going up.

Jeff, wasn't Ryans deal at Joliet ? Or I am not on the same page.

I'm looking at mwsc more this year for the same reason as everyone else......expense.

Rick

I was referring to the problem he had with Leek, not the crash at Joliet.

Jeff,

Yes, Leak is not my favorite person but that is besides the point. The whole point to a traveling series (like MWSCA) is to travel to different tracks as they always have. If I wanted to race at the same track every weekend I would bracket race. It is fine to have a couple of races at the same track, heck even NHRA does that with division races sometimes. But when over 3/4 of the races are at the same track that is a bit much. All I am saying is that there are already enough races at one track (Byron). Regardless of what track that is, they don't need to have one more there. It is a shame they cant have a 2 day event at Cordova, but I don't see why they should change that and have one more race at Byron. I know first hand how hard it is to schedule a series like this and I don't want it to seem like I am talking bad about the people in charge. I am sure they had their hands full trying to make everyone happy. I had a great time running a couple of races last year and this is a first class group of guys! However, having said that I don't think I will be running with them as much as I had planned to with this schedule. It is unfortunate, because I was really looking forward to running most or all of the races this year. I don't plan to run that many times at Byron, I seriously doubt I will drive all the way to Indy to race 1/8th mile, and I also doubt I will go to the Grove.

Well were trying to be fair to the guys from the Cordova area that support us unfortunately since Cordova is open Friday night and Saturday they don't want to be open Sunday.
