See THIS LINK for a draft of the 15 race 2009 schedule.
Help me get this finalized and we will make it "official".

Doc,

I have some messages out to East folks to firm up dates and such. Looks good. Wow - 9 races in the West!

Lou

I was surprised that none of the 2009 Chrysler Clasic races made our SL6 race list... seems like their new ownership does not want groups like ours.
I was not surprised the Moster Mopar / St Louis was dropped... that has never been a good event for us.

Actually, I think CC burned their last bridge with us. Pittsburgh was poorly managed by them for the 3rd year running, with us as the lowest priority and back-back semis/finals with timing screw ups at the very end of the day. Columbus only had 2 cars show up.

Hagerstown could be a big one, so I think that's a great replacement for Pitt.

CC Events only want you there if you bring your own sponsor/prize money for your class.

We are not the only ones they have pissed off. Many of the faster bracket racers have been given the hose too.

I would be very surprised if CC Events survives this year, they have been hemmoraging money like water. :shock:

That's right, I forgot about not payout for race winners either. At least 3-5 in the last 1-2 years did not ever get payouts from a CC race.

Good info ... Keep it coming. The more eyes on this... the better.
If you can pass along any links to the event's website, I can add those also.

S&S may possibly like Slant cars less than CC Events. :shock:
