The idea is to have a street tire class with some mods to encourage more participation. This way do not need race tires to have a chance to compete for trophies.
1. (1) Spring mountain
2. (2) Streets of willow
3. (1) infield Auto club speedway
4. (1) auto cross day
5. (1) Button Willow
6. (2) Auto club Roval
7. (2) WSIR
You maybe able to have the auto cross and infield events together.

Ok, here are my thoughts.
1. I think 8 events is a pretty good number.
2. The more variety the better. Some tracks are much more challenging than others.
We should run Buttonwillow at least 2 times and I would recommend one time CW and 1 time CCW. The track is very different when running in different directions.
I think we should run the Streets of Willow and big Willow once each.
Let's try to throw in Spring Mountain, preferably the 3+ mile version.
Why not schedule a date at that new track east of Palm Springs
Let's run ACS roval and the infield once as well.
I would be in favor of a Laguna Seca event.
3. I think we need less classes. It does not make much sense to have 1 or 2 cars in a class. Maybe just have unlimited, modified and stock. Then maybe we should distinguish the different generation cars by giving penalties in time based on the mods (every 50 or 100 points brings about a penalty or 1 second, 2 seconds etc) and car type. This is probably not very straightforward, but worth thinking about.
4. The weekends are where most events need to be, but for a special day at like Laguna Seca, I would be in favor of a Monday or Friday.
5. January through May or June. Let's do Sundays in the fall as I am a big college football fan on Saturdays.
6. Trophies - 1 at the end of the year. Maybe just some sort of ribbon at each event. Lets keep the cost down.

Auto Cross is not road racing. If we go that way why not one day at the drag strip for some 1/4 mile fun.

I didn't participate with you guys this year, but i watched the threads (and saw the videos and pics to follow ) and if anything it would probably be to some benefit to have less classes. Increasing car count in each class increases the fun; at least in my eyes. I would really like to make it out to one of these, and I think adding buttonwillow would be a decent idea.

I'm sure BW will be in the schedule as it was in 2009.
So start planning to make a commitment to get out with us
