Sorry it doesn't look better. There is only so much one can do with pure text.

If anyone could post this on their personal web site, I could send him a simple .html version or .xls version to make that job easier. Then I could send him calendar updates in whatever format works best, as new events get scheduled.

^^^ Great work Bob. If I find out about any other events that you don't have on your list, I'll let you know.

I don't have PMs setup. Sent an email.

I created the .html pages for it, and Dan Bratten (dbratten) is hosting it on his home computer.

Any suggestions or additional info from the community would be appreciated. Look at the other pages for some cool links also.

I'm going to replace that ugly list in the original post with just this link.

Thanks for all the help, Dan.

bobmoore2

Yes, if all of the folks would do that, I'd sure appreciate the help.

That looks like the old Racer-X / Hot Rod Buick track day list, which disappeared for a year or two.

Yeah, when I saw that he had abandoned the site, I grabbed the html code from his website as a starting point. Then I modified it as I wanted, to make it my own.

We've got a saying where I work, "Why re-invent the wheel?"

You'll notice in my original post that the link address has changed. The website host improved the speed of his modem and put in a new router, which caused the link address change.

Please correct any shortcuts, favorites, desktop icons, etc. that you may have on your home computers.

If you want to send me your html or xml info I would put it up on www.Fast-corvette.com.

email: jim@fast-corvette.com

It is hosted at the link in my original post. Please put a link to it on Fast-corvette.com.

If you haven't looked at the Track Days web site lately, you should.

We've been keeping the schedule up to date as the organizers have added and cancelled events. We've also added several useful links for beginners and intermediates.

Check it out.

Since NCRC got their Thunderhill dates back, I've put them back into the Calendar.

Check out the Links page. There are lots of links to cool info.

Are any events @ Chuckwalla Valley Raceway going to be added? Track opens in April.

bobmoore2

I saw that they were building the Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, but I didn't know it would be opening this soon. Do you have the link to their web site? I seem to have lost the link I had. Has anyone scheduled any events there yet?

Great work on this Bob

Thanks for collecting and posting all this.
I might actually make it out onto a track this year!

Several years ago, I was riding a ski bus to Vail and talking to the driver about all the time he gets to spend on the ski slopes. After a few minutes I began feeling envious of his life-style so I said, "I wish I could do that." His reply was the most profound thing I have ever heard, but he said it in a matter-of-fact way, as if it was the most obvious fact in the world. "You can." Our conversation stopped for several minutes, because at that moment I realized that it's never about not finding the time or not having the money or any of the other excuses we use for not doing something we want to do. It's about deciding that you want to spend your time or money on doing this instead of on something else. If you find at the end of the year that you have not made it out to the track, it's not because you couldn't do it. It's because you decided several times this year that you would prefer doing something else. If you truly want to do it, then you will find a way to do it. If not, then you should stop wishing for it and focus on doing whatever it is that you do want to do.

By the way, I never did become a professional ski bum like the bus driver was, but I stopped wishing I could be one. I realized that there were other things (a different life-style) that I wanted more, and I was happier for knowing that.
