Friday night i heard it from two different people that are associated with the Nationals that there is a 98% chance that the event will be in October of 2011......... Peace WildBill
when will we get the official word? Do you expect we will have to wait for a newsletter or will there be an announcement somewhere? Any chance of a mailing to those registered this year before the newsletter? I registered but blew a trans on my tow and never made it there, so anxious to hear anything.
It was broadcast at the track Saturday that there would be an announcement in the next GSXTRA regarding a date decision. They also said it "appears" (90%)likely it will be in October again (19th-22nd). They also asked in the mean time to please let them know what date you prefer and why.
This time of year seems to be more of the drier months. I'd move it back one week as some of the schools in this area are out for their "fall break". After all we need younger recruitments to keep the hobby alive and well.
I sure hope so!!! I wondered if there were to many other track commitments is why we have not in the past ? Weather is far better then, plus nice fall scenery. Anything we can do to influence the powers to be please let us know. :TU:
i'd just chime in to say that the oct. weather is more condusive to walkin n talkin , workin on the car , not havin' to hide in the bleachers - and - lets face it , not too many of us really need to be seen in shorts ( not you girls ! ) . columbus for me is alot closer , nice professional track , etc - but - that can be one blisterin uncomfortable hot no-shade weekend . and the older crowd appreciates that october weather alot more i'd think . del ## and a little shout out for "shelly's place" - stopped in for a beer friday afternoon , decent layout , nice clean friendly lookin place and looked like it could be a "kinda fun verging on trouble after midnight" joint . exit 28 , on the right headin for the track , easy to drive by if ya don't watch for it close ##
I was told it was announced at the track during the last couple of rounds, that in fact the event will be in October. Several people at our dinner at Toot's heard it. Can't wait for next year! I loved it in October.
