Evening. So I've been giving this some thought this week and have already gotten some feedback but unless someone or someones can give me compelling reasons why, I'm going to cancel our Spring track day and only focus on a Fall one. Reasons being:

1. There seems to be a lack of interest - might be my own doing, perhaps for not pushing this stronger.
2. We're basically two months out and I would have to start collecting money asap so make sure I don't lose my ass.
3. (and likely the most important) I have a feeling most won't have their cars track ready by end of April or the car will be semi ready but still not race worthy.
4. Weather is likely going to be still a bit unpredictable.
5. There are other track events happening in Spring and Summer that we can likely piggyback off of, not to mention we can still do mini track events during the week and weekends.
6. We have a lot of members with new family members and obligations to honor and those are far more important than a single day of racing.

I don't take this decision lightly and I'm sure its bound to bum more than a few out, but I'm doing this so that we can have a quality event rather than one that likely will not be up to expectations.

Hopefully everyone understands and agrees.

What about choosing like a TNT day thats open and just call it an unofficial official spring TCG track day? Doesn't HAVE to be a private rental. Judging by the fall one, by 1:30 everyone made their passes and was done for quite a bit or was making changes/cooling down. Especially being early in the "season" a random TnT day might not be very busy anyways

Thats basically my thought. Once it warms up a bit, just choose a T&T day and whoever shows up, shows up.

I'm definitely in the #6 category. My car is still in a storage unit and wont be pulling it out of there for another month. Then I have a bunch of little things to get done to the car with a newborn at home. Spending hours in the garage will be like pulling teeth. I just know my wife is going to give me shit about it. Then the car needs to go to the body shop for the new hood and that'll be at least a week.
This sounds accurate Mook Mook .

There will be plenty of time to drag Jeffs FRC Jeffs FRC in Mexico [emoji16]
I sure as shit hope you FINALLY drag my ass with that race car! Sounds like you might be scared and move to AZ though...lol
