C'mon Joe, West Bend won't be the same without you!

I agree with you, I think this will kill the race.. wonder who came up with the whole idea????

I have heard the sprints may be as long as 45minutes. Almost like having 2 enduros.

Gary R.

I have heard they will each be 7 hours long. You would *think* that with the announcement of the elimination of the enduro the other details would be involved.... no? The 2008 schedule worked great, should have left it alone.

bsztanko

they are working on some of the finer details, still not official.

bsztanko

Do you think the unrestricted exhaust will bring up attendance? CVR is banking on having 110+ participants vs. last years 80ish.
can't have 110+ entrants do enduro, not enough time in a two day weekend.

Gary R.

Give me a muffled event with an un-crippled schedule (as it's been for eons) anytime.. Those of us that ran LRP enjoy the 60 minute enduro. To just arbitrarily eliminate it?
And yes, I live for pots like this to stir.

bsztanko

I personally don't think unmuffled is a good idea, short of the cup car crowd, no one really cares.

bsztanko

you should start a poll on muffled vs open exhaust

Gary R.

I think they were planning on record crowds or something? As far as I know there are the same hours in the day as there were in 2008 so why the change???

bsztanko

have to sell more tickets, unmuffled costs a bunch more.

Bad enough the local laws prevent a three day event going through Sunday, how can they not maximize the racing Saturday!!!!! Will they think it is "unbelievable" when attendance sucks. As long as I must pay for towing, hotels etc., do me a favor, give me racing, not a few saved dollars on registration fees

bsztanko

Cancel the DE. Race Thursday through Saturday, two sprints and an enduro and raise the entry fee. How does that sound?

U4EEAH

Sorry to say, sounds like you are dreaming. Nice dream, but......

bsztanko

Voice your opinions fellas, CVR is in the background listening.
