No, I haven't been out there lately. We've been assured that we'll be able to hold our event the third weekend in March. We'll see I guess...

This is absolute bull****. ****ing contractors. Start early, work during winter. Don't quote what you can't finish. 3 days of rain caused our event(which wasn't canceled until today) to be canceled?

Anyone have any pictures of what they are doing?

I second Halston's post. I really am mad. I'm already signed up for July but damn does this suck. I needed a spring event or two at Road A. and i'm debating the N.A.S.A event because its only 2 weeks later and at this rate its not going to happen either.

the SCCA event will be on the 23rd. but until then, there isnt anything except for the NASA event which is questionable.

So that's an add on? Or cars will go straight too????

To my knowledge, the configuration for cars will remain the same. The additions being made the track are to improve safety for bikes.

correct. there will be NO modifications to the track for the cars. only for the bikes

Super Lame.

I guess they were worried about losing some bike races? So now the cars get screwed in the time being. Petite and Walter Mitty weren't going anywhere...

The RA site said a month ago every event up until at least the NASA event was cancelled, don't know why it's a suprise?

It was up in the air with BMWCCA and our event. Nothing was set in stone.
