why would we rent the two small inside lots instead of the green lot?

Because big CalClub is either giving us the lots or giving us a screaming deal or something.

Marshall, it isn't a Championship. Cal Club is providing the lots to us to use for fund raising and to build a better working relationship between CSCC and Cal Club. It makes sense: they receive thousands of dollars each year from our SCCA memberships, so they're feeding it back to us in a win/win situation.

We'll be hosting this event to provide a relatively low-cost two day practice that should allow some good exposure to a lot of novices. We can use that to introduce them to our new Novice Challenge, which will be documented officially shortly. In summary, Novices will run in their proper run groups and for the entire year. Their six best finishes will go toward year-end points and we will have a special Rookie of the Year award. This encourages Novices to join us and stick around for the entire season.

It's also a perfect opportunity to discuss the FSAE program and mention the Motorsport event. I think it's a good marketing opportunity.

Ohh, I'm sorry!

But, you're right! Thanks Gio!!!

Thank you Gio for doing a fabulous job!

Now that I've said that... SCCA took the Pros and Tour dates off of their site, so they should probably all be considered tenative on our calander.

..it's just sometimes difficult to know when to pet the Trunk Monkey and when to spank the Trunk Monkey.

We didn't ask, so why did you tell? What you do in private with each other is your business......

I believe it's the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy

You're welcome...to all. It was a slow way as these fall under "non-champ/practice/school" events in our system, so I enter them a different way that only a few admins have privileges. That's where we put the SD region's events and our committee meetings.

Ah ahah!!! No wonder I was going crazy. I'm thinking to myself..."I followed Christine's instructions and still see no Tours/Pros". I'll put TBD next to all of them later.

Calendar updated with 2 new entries:

• Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach - April 16-19th, 2009
• FSAE (Formula Society of Automotive Engineers) West Event - June 19th-21st, 2009

Calendar updated:

The event in the "inside lots" of Auto Club Speedway is now an "official flyer" event, with Jayson Woodruff as Event Master for this double practice weekend event (Jan. 24th-25th, 2009).

More updates:

• Changes to March national event dates (Tour is first, ProSolo second)
• Potential Divisional in July was pushed back a week to not conflict with Packwood National Tour
• New regional champ date added in August in El Toro

Calendar UPDATED with host clubs chosen per weekend.

I can see Tours & Pros in the western US, but do we really need the east coast ones on our calendar?
