Doug, we already set aside the whole thanksgiving weekend for the SCNAX cup and ladies school.... That is a good use for that weekend because many folks can't run for points over Thanksgiving. What does that have to with the NOTLD and points or no points? Are you saying we can do extra events? I wo...

Yeah, that has never eaten into the number of points events. i'm confused. How does the NOTLD being a non points event eat into the number of championships? are we unable to schedule extra event next year to make up for it, if it were to not be a points event? POINT-----> If we start making every d...

The divisional is a very different event and I note by having two events in the same weekend it makes that weekend more important to do well and attend. We had to shuffle many classes to keep the local points working. Some could argue about the points but Jay did a great job working out many detail...

I like the night event because it is different. We usually get a large turnout too. I would be happy with only three runs and a longer lap but I understand why it is a good idea to run a circle layout with the overhead lights. The layout was great this year, thanks Tom. I understand why the night ev...

Just got home 4:45 AM.

For the last 5 months the city has been installing a water main behind our house. They finally filled in the six foot pits but the surface still is less than desirable. Needless to say we have been trying to find homes for all our cars. One is still in prison. http://www.parts4vws.com/images/members...

works out good anyways, I know a lot of people were not wanting the newbies to show up to the night race anyways. they will shoot for next month when its during the day. :) (they can run X runs right?) It is just the newbies that don't show up early to walk or work that we have issues with. We need...

but this sucks. I have/had some friends that were going to come out. (newbies).... all well... not any more.

Kathy and I are in too.

... If the club reps want to make it a 2 day non-champ, they can. Jay W I have a question. At some point I would like to know if the September event will be turned into a two day practice or stay a championship. I know it will take some time before this can or will be worked out if the reps can sti...

FIXED. It's now Sept. 13th (practice), 14th (championship).

Thank you Steve! You got the job done!
I am sure that the conflicts will be felt but at least we know what days we are dealing with.

We should run the first group a little early to be safe and then take a short break before the 2nd group if necessary.

Great Idea!

Wrong Steve. I put it like that so that the thread doesn't drift. Why not let the moderators do their job. Wouldn’t it be better to ban people (who are known to destroy threads with off topic posts) from posting in the content driven forums instead of punishing everyone? One post off topic and you ...

Sorry that your stocks took a dump! We can look at each and every novice competitor and decide if they are ready for the NOLD. “You are OK but not you or you or you.” (not a good way to do this IMHO) Or we can make a rule that covers every novice competitor. A) Run in class. Work assignment is to se...

Do we need the "cash" to pay for the lot? There's more than just the "lot". There's porta-johns and the lights. As for the "cash", not sure. Yes I know,,,,, We can't get to our money that is in the bank and we can't deposit more money in to the bank. Solo$ are less of ...

Do we need the "cash" to pay for the lot?

I have a few friends I am trying to get into the sport, they are wanting to come out to this race. they are not interested in points and would like to run in the first half of the night. (since I run in the first half of the night). Can they just do X runs and run sometime in the first half (more s...

[quote"Doug Teulie"]First time drivers can show up with no understanding of what is going on. We have even made it a requirement that you must have driven at least 3 prior events before attending this event. So are you saying I'm not welcome. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smi...

Running out of group at the NOTLD in the interests of easy politics doesn't cut it. And that's why I shouldn't be speaking for the Event Master. You're right about my keeping life as simple as possible. Bill never seems to have a problem with lights. The candle power he has brougt to events has bee...

This is not official information just my observations. The NOLD is one of my favorite events of the year! Kathy does not like it at all. The event has had problems over the years. The position of the lot lights can blind drivers so care needs to taken when designing the layout. Many drivers find som...

The off topic communication is only beneficial to the message board junkies: I want to point out that the September event is not part of the NOLD event. Please note this topic's title. I do not expect any message board to stay on topic past the third post however both topic discussions (September e...

Anyone attending Nationals will get their average for the CSCC event in September, so no need to take a drop. If you have a crappy avg. but good results w/drops (me) an avg. really becomes a drop. Again, it makes NO sense to schedule one of our races @ the same time as Nationals. And again, is ther...
