You need to give yourself some time to promote, sell tickets, get sponsorships and awards lined up and (most important) give the drivers a chance to fit it into their schedule if you convince them they should attend. Also school. School isn't out yet for the younger set. Don't you care about them? And there are other things about scheduling a race so close to when you announce it.
Don't worry, man, the race is scheduled for 2005 so we got plenty of time
