I just pulled this from the WMRC Facebook page: Round 1, May 6, 2012 Round 2, May 19, 2012 Round 3, May 20, 2012 Round 4, June 16, 2012 Round 5, June 17, 2012 Round 6, June 30, 2012 Round 7, July 1, 2012 Bonus round August 20th
Will the Bonus round count for championship points? PS, I love this schedule...get most of the racing at Mission done in 2 months and no shitty Septmeber days...great to catch a break like that. Hopefully eveyone will save all the cash they are going to need to fork over that short 2 month period to get through 7 rounds...sell your kids into slavery if you have to! cheers
Phenomenal dates, IMHO. I don't know how or who, but this is just mind boggling. Did we sacrifice a virgin or something for the stars to align like this? You're still a virgin, right Ted? Endurance? I suppose the powers-that-be need to mull that one over but look at it this way; each (potential) team needs to pony up a serious chunk of change as a deposit to show just how serious they really are. The costs for a race day stay the same no matter what, so they need some assurance there will be enough teams to pay that day's expenses. Tim, an 8 hour endurance would require a 9:00 AM sharp start. The last endurance race finally got under way close to 10:00 or 10:30 AM. Then about 45 minutes in, dBcom hiccupped and I needed Nancy to help bail us out of a pickle. (Thanks again Nancy) I think I figured out the cause of the hiccup (it's a limitation of the software) but that's all mere conjecture right now. Let's get the WCC figured out first, K? Don't forget to buy your license at the show this week, boys and girls.
Angus, the first date will be a practice on the 5th. That will be run by WCSS. There has never been more than 1 practice day the day before a race season starts that I can remember since 2003.
Just checking. I know that the first day last year was a practice but since there wasn't a schedule at the meeting it wasn't talked about.
Early Season for sure, June 16 -17 will be a conflict with Edmonton, August 20 is the Monday following the Edmonton Double Header, Otherwise not too bad at all, Were there no dates after July 1 besides the Monday in August, No September openings? Enjoy the ride, and best regards all, See you at the show, Blair
From what I can tell here are the available options before our season starts: 2Fast at the Ridge March 24 2Fast at Pacific Raceways April 11 2Fast at the Ridge April 13 2Fast at Portland April 20 2Fast at Pacific Raceways April 27 2Fast at the Ridge May 4 After our first round: Sullivan at the Ridge May 24 PSSR at ORP June 2 & 3 2Fast at the Ridge June 9 After round 7 is finished: Motofit at ORP July 7 & 8 Sullivan at the Ridge July 13 California Superbike School at the Ridge July 16 & 17 2Fast at the Ridge July 25 Motofit at ORP August 18 & 19 Sullivan at the Ridge August 27 2Fast at the Ridge August 31 PSSR at the Ridge September 8 & 9 Star School is at the Ridge September 18 & 19 Motofit at ORP September 22 & 23 2Fast at the Ridge Septemeber 28 Motofit at the Ridge October 20 & 21 P.S. I did not include the Epic track days because I don't know if they are any good.
No practice day before the season starts is a recipe for disaster, and having WCS school do it simply costs the racers more. The schedule sucks and even the odd few like it, I bet many will find it simply too much too soon and too much money will be flowing with no breaks. I know, mr negative, lol and yes, I know its not the clubs fault, we are given what we are given.
Simon, WCSS rates for the practice day are cheaper than what the WMRC would have to charge. You are aware that the WMRC has lost money on every practice day since 2006 right?
