I have updated the plans for the 2027 season.

It is ok Steve, I didn't specify how many you could vote for. I just added them up as they came in. So far, the LeMans is one vote ahead of Modified and Sportsman. If the vote winds up a tie, then we will have another vote between the two.

I would suggest a nice summer day, maybe in the off season so the event could be outside.

Sounds like a fun idea.

The plans for the 2027 season have been added to.

Steve, you sent me an email and voted for Can-Am or LeMans. Do you want me to take Can-Am off?

Ok, Bill, with your vote LeMans is now in the #1 spot.

The vote so far for the Mini enduro: LeMans, Modified and Sportsman are tied for 1st. Then Can-Am and Trans-Am are tied for 2nd.
I have received no votes in the last couple weeks.

1.....I still plan on racing each of the ten True Scale classes at least 3 times during the 2027 season.
2.....Season will start in early September.
3.....I want to have a mini enduro of 4 times through at 4 minute heats. I sent out an email to the racers to vote on what True Scale class they would like to race.
4.....Have a couple of open track/chassis sessions during the off season.
5.....Start the season with the Rapid 500 with the NASCAR class. Ending the season with the Rapid Grand Prix, with the Indy cars, both to be trophy races.
6.....Continue with the Thursday Thunder races.
7.....Speaking of Thursday Thunder, how 'bout a Trophy race on a Thursday night? Don't take a break for the food, just eat while racing and having 1st. through 3rd. plaques.
8.....Changing most of my plaques to picture plaques like Bob did for his race at Springwater. I really like those plaques.

That's pretty cool Steve. I wonder how many slot cars are stored away and forgotten 'till something sparks their memory........................................"Oh yea, slot cars.................I have a few stashed away from my younger days"!!

As Bill reminded me at the race, a low turnout does not mean that it will not be a fun race and he is right. This race night was a blast, and the BS session at the end of the night always adds to the fun.
