I'd like to add Mid Ohio and Road America...since I want to do both of those next yearbeac83;256065 wrote: NESBA Midwest was viable and had a positive cash flow as near as I can tell. It seems that dropping the schedule was more of a business direction decision (a decision to consolidate attention on the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Regions) than one forced by financial non-performance of the Mid-West region.
While that's certainly within the management's right to decide, there are many Mid-West Customers who liked, appreciated and are willing to again turn out and use the NESBA product. A schedule made up of Putnam, Blackhawk, and one other track (Grattan?) would likely be very well received and attended.
what necessary equipment? You mean gear?pearsonm;256201 wrote: Maybe 50/50 for me, if even that. I got burned out, especially on the never-ending arms race and 'necessary' equipment. I certainly don't regret my time with NESBA, but I don't see myself going back to 15 days a year on race equipment.
Really? No, not the gear that separates me from the Sausage Monster.z064life;256205 wrote: You mean gear?
Say what?? I know several guys that don't run warmers and don't run slicks (I don't run slicks either). Not sure why you think those things are requirements...pearsonm;256206 wrote: Really? No, not the gear that separates me from the Sausage Monster.
Showing up with anything less than a race-prepped four-cylinder is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Of course you've got to run slicks which means warmers and a generator. Now you need a trailer and a bigger vehicle to haul it all with and somewhere to store it.
I'm done spending that much time and money, no matter what track day organization.
OK. Thank you.z064life;256207 wrote: Trackdays are expensive I'll give you that
