Chris,
That's great news... Is that Jim Bishop's deal or somebody NEW?
I'm still putting things in place over hear... I started things in motion very slowly about a week after our July 19th Pizza meeting.
I finally got ahold of the NIPOMO School people last week - and received the school paper work this past wednesday SO now I get to look it over and (I can see exactly WHY and WHY Mark and Brian) were having difficulty w/ the Schools. (What a bunch of CRAP)
I'm having Surgery this Wednesday - so I don't know how much I'll get done this week, but I'm hoping we'll have insurance in place and be able to lock in at least ONE Sunday per month over the next 5 months (Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan) I figure that will give us a good start.
If we can get the first one scheduled...I'll continue to look for other locations, because I don't like what I'm seeing or reading from the HIGH SCHOOL...although it can be made to work.
Three weeks ago, I thought for SURE we'd be able to do one TODAY (Sunday Aug 26th) and I was hoping to be able to bring some local racers from Santa Maria Speedway into the event in the way of a small car show... It didn't work out - which SUCKS because the SMSpeedway season is winding down quickly and we probably won't get that opportunity again until after APRIL of '08.
One of the things I'm hoping we can do - at least at some point...is bring OTHER things to the 'races' to help pay for the site..and help us continue the program.
My next OVAL races are
Sept 8th - Bending Corners Raceway - Orange County
Oct. 13th - Encino Velodrome - Encino
Nov. 10th - Metro R/C Speedway - Bakersfield
Dec 8th - Encino Velodrome - Encino
With all these events NOT being on my normal 3rd weekends (which is the normal weekend my SWTour series runs) - I'm hoping it will allow me to target the 3rd weekend of each of those months, along with the 3rd weekend of Jan. for "LOCAL" racing.
