Sorry I've been a little quiet on here, guys....
We at Michiana RC are definitely considering a "once a month" schedule. The great thing is that we have a fun track to race at- over the years there's been some incredible racing on the rug. There's also a lot of interest. But, as Derek mentioned- getting everyone in the same place has been difficult.
So, with that being said, we're still considering the schedule. I'd like to coordinate it where we get a group of racers together, and to be able to include the Michigan boys and others that have traveled to Mishawaka and had a great time with some incredible racing. Hell, I'd even invite Racknor! 
Best suggestion- stay tuned. |

Todd that is so nice of you. But i was planning on being down there every week and now you are only running once a month!
Todd send me your dates and I can add them to the Michigan race schedule.

That would be a good idea and is probably what will happen. Now, I'm not part of the operations or anything like that with the track but with regards to the lack of chatter or race dates, these guys need to be sure that they are opening the doors to racers. In the past few years only a handful of guys show up on a regular basis. The big races draw a big crowd. So I'd suggested to everyone that views this thread to leave your input as to what day would work best for you. I know there are guys interested in racing here but everyone has to give these guys an idea on when would be the best time to open for racing and who will be there on those days. The talk is to either race on Saturday nights or Sunday mornings. I made the suggestion to race ever other Sunday morning. So its up to the racers when and if you race at MRCR. And yes, they due follow TOUR rules and work with Pete Russell's rules and schedule.

Hey guys... Derek's hit the nail on the head. We'd love nothing more than to open the track up, but certainly don't wanna be sitting there with three other people. Last year, we had a small but very dedicated group. We also had a decent following of "outa towners", guys like Racknor, Dean, Sparks, Ciecek from Michigan, as well as guys like C3, Deel, Mike Hussell... (thanks guys!) I'm considering opening the track for a day either the 14th (afternoon/matinee) or Sunday morning. Guys like Bajdek who DJ on Saturday nights (lucky!) would love Sundays... I've had some guys looking for an alternate to their normal Saturday nights, too...
So, with that said- 14th (Saturday) or 15th (Sunday)... ?
PS: Lenny, the race on the 29th (soon to be announced, oops, already did!) will have Saturday open on practice- should be from 12-8pm. I'm personally considering "doing the double" with Fort Wayne's Turkey race on Saturday night, then Michiana on Sunday. But, I'm sure I can find someone to watch the track if I do that.
I do thank you guys for your support.

Yeah, I changed it probably about the time you were typing it, lol, after looking at Racknor / our calendar. D'oh!
That being said, you have any thoughts? |

Thanks Conde... Kinda what I'm thinking too. Pete races Friday, Summit runs Saturday. My only issue with this one is Grand Rapids races Sunday the 15th, too.
