Today sure makes us think about racing doesn't it?!
It's been a long winter and off season!
Some points I wanted to let everyone in on for 2026:
- At this point our only on track time will be for the Fall Series races. I would like to possibly get a test and tune in before we race, but with my commitments with RFR and the kids racing, it will be challenging.
- I have some improvements I want to get down before we race this year. As time allows during the spring and summer, I will start working on those projects. I'm planning on working on the track quite a bit after August.
- REMINDER: We are XBP "sanctioned" and go by the full set of XBP rules, with the only deviation being we allow an open rear gear.
- The Choose Cone will be implemented at all the races starting in 2026. The rules will be amended to reflect the XBP rules and the choose cone. Any other rules tweaks will be changed and announced here.
- I would like to get some cool trophies, plaques, etc (suggestions welcome!) for our racers this year. Both individual race winners and an overall Fall Series Champion award. If anyone wants to sponsor awards, or help sponsor awards for the racers, please let me know. My goal is to give a little back in recognition and thanks for those that choose to race here. As always, racing and admission will always be free (unless we do a charity event).
- Due to the very cool growth we saw last fall, I am looking to get some more staff on hand for our events.
At this point I'm looking to fill rules of: Corner flaggers (2), Pit steward/lineups (1), Scorers/helping to make sure lineups are correct after w caution (ideally 2).
If you are interested, please reach out to me!
If I think of anything else, it will be announced or discussed here!
I hope everyone has a safe and fun racing season and we look forward to seeing everyone in the fall.
Again, it's an honor and a privilege for you to choose to race with us here, and we greatly appreciate it!
