May 16-17
June 19-21 (Loudon Classic)
July 25-26
August 15-16
September 12-13
October 3-4

For those who are interested, this is the USCRA schedule:

May 18 - NHMS (Day after LRRS.)
June 13-14 - NHMS (FIM sanctioned two day event, includes the "Big Fish Small Pond Almost 3 Hour Classic" endurance race.)
September 7 - NHMS
September 18-20 - NJMP (Joint event with VRG.)

At this time, I am going to issue a challenge. I would like to see LRRS represented in the 2015 Halloween Hooptiefest, which is the NHMS round of the 24 Hours of LeMons. This will be held October 23-25, 2015. The Legends folks have been fielding an entry for the last couple of races, time to step up!

Also note, two fee changes for 2015:

Garages are going from $175 a weekend to $200. Tom noted there is going to be some garage work done this year as well, but no details yet on what they're doing?

Late fee for not pre-entering is going from $10 to $15 a class.

WiFi for the entire infield coming some time next season!

Whelan starting lights in the pipeline. Ryan won't have to worry about dropping the green flag anymore!
Let's see you guys tried to read the "tell" on that!

What about half way and last lap? Still have Ryan for those?

We had wifi although a bit iffy a couple of years ago only to be taken away this season. It reminds me of the promise we get every year about the PA system working. Just hasn't happened.

I would assume so. Just at every other Motorsport lights just remove only the green flag nothing else.

I think you'll have to pray to God for the PA because even Bruton Smith himself can't seem to get that to happen.

I got the PA repairman to show me all the switches and such about 8 years ago because there were always problems. I tried handling all the complaints, but there was the time when I got a call from Batty Bluenose complaining about the speakers in the Center Garages not working. I went to the controls and found them all turned down. I went to the other Center Garage to check on the speakers and they weren't working. I went back to the controls and found them turned down again. The three people that were there all along just sat there with smirks on their faces when I asked who turned them down. That's when I got the fuck you attitude whenever people complained about the PA because a lot of times it's your peers disabling the system. Like last June when I found two speakers stuffed with rags and covered in duct tape. End of PA discussion.

The most aggravating thing about the PA is it works better then perfect for the trophy ceremony and nothing else. We go deaf trying to eat dinner. I do realize they have put a lot of money and time into getting it to function right but it just doesn't.

The wifi thing though seems like typical politician magic. They make it seem like you're gaining something special when you're only getting back what they took away not that long ago.

I am not sure if the WiFi in the past was even provided by the track. I think Andy Barrett was behind that.
The track has two routers, one for staff, the other for the press. The password used to leak out and eventually enough people signed on to crash it, then the password would be changed. They were so tight with it this year I didn't even get it. This year I relied on a router named "Apple" that got left behind by some nerds with the Hybrid Challenge.

The track uses sprint right? I would have given them a sick deal to apply AT&T hotspots around
