date change
it's a shame the pro series race was'nt taken in consideration when the date was set for the blue diamond race,it is what it is though.when a date is set,for me i try to work my schedule to it,and when it changes,its like why even make plans,its either going to rain or someone will change the date.i'll just be glad when southern md. gets another offroad track

I would but I have to work that day and we can not do it the 26th because BD is having a big On Road race and the weekend after that October 3rd is the Electric regional at Pit Stop Hobbies so the only two option are to race on the 12th or move it to October 10th.
As you can see we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The race was not put on the books to make anybody mad we just are tight on weekends.
I am open for your input on the date guys.
Thanks

My vote - leave it on 12th - we all know that the deeper we get into fall two things happen
1 It gets more iffy with weather and rain
2 More racers drop off the radar due to school stuff, athletics, family commitments, etc, etc, and attendance goes way down
Don can easily call Carlton and verify if it will PO RCPro, If he is told it will than we all will understand backing it off.
At the end of the day - how many are going to RCPro from Region 2 ROAR that are really in Region 2, instead of seeking exemption?
Please lets not forget that RCPro is not the end all, catch all, race series.
Should ROAR have been planned earlier - certainly - but thats useless background noise at this time.
This should be more about supporting our local/home tracks instead of big time series races - they do not pay the bills nor keep tracks open. They are definitely a blast granted.

Blast away - i did develop a thick skin in my tenure above
and yes we will have another track next year and will still have same issues

Thanks Landscaper,
When I spoke to Don this week we talked about the balance between ROAR and the Pro Series. Both organizations enjoyed hosting events at Blue Diamond. I am sure Don did what he felt was the best for all the racers and Blue Diamond. With that being said let put this behind us and look forward to the race.
I will have more info on the time and all that stuff soon.
Stay tuned

Its all good Kevin, I really would'nt want friction between tracks we need all we can get these days. Lets just focus on scheduling next time. Give us a heads up as soon as you get everything in order for this race. The sooner the better.
