Looks like we are planning for 4 races next year. Here is my wish list.. Subject to change. Loren you have 1st dibbs so let me know what you want. Your other team mate has 2nds. Also for 2 of these races I will need 2 drivers. I am guessing they will be the last 2.

I am planning on running the new car for Lemons and the E30 for Chump. But I am open for suggestions.

Barry, I'm in for Homestead. Probably out for anything else prior to September. I'd love to do Sebring, but that's unlikely. November or December of 2010 are a possibility.

 

You know you've got my dad and I if you need 2 more for an event. I'm jumping into more scca this next year so as long as nothing conflicts we are game.

 

We plan on attending Southern Discomfort in February and (depending on spousal support) 24 Horas de Cuba del Norte in December as far as LeMons goes.

The two Florida Chump Car races are also on our radar if the series looks like it will succeed. If not, we will probably add one or both of the other CMP races to our schedule.



Barry,
No plans on returning to CMP this year?

 

Rob I would like to start driving at other tracks. I really am not that fond of the CMP track with all the right turns and the 100 cars. If you look at Youtube vids of other races you see there is alot more space. New Orleans being one of these, there were actual spaces in the video where you didnt see cars. Plus I was not that impressed with some of the other teams. So I would like to try other places. things may be the same everywhere. I dont know but the only way to find out is to go to some new places.

Also with 3 events in Fl there is really no reason to go out of state. But I would like to go try out a new track- thus being New Orleans.

LD I will definatly keep you in mind. I will be letting you know what is going on. The only concern I have is that I need other team mates that are mechaniacly inclined. Since the cars do break and need to be repaired.

 

TAJ Racing will hit:

(maybe) March 13-14 Rockingham, NC (ChumpCar)
April 3-4 VIR (ChumpCar) someone elses car
May 8-9 Homestead (ChumpCar)
Aug 21-22 Roebling Road (ChumpCar)
Sept 25-26 Sebring (ChumpCar)
Dec 30-31 PBIR (LeMons)

Ambitious maybe but we'll see....

 

I know how to do basic stuff and can do anything if I am told how to do it. My dad on the other hand is quite mechanically inclined. He does 90% of the work on all of our cars because I don't live in Tampa anymore.

 

Cool thanks for the update. LD.
I will keep you posted. I am thinking the middle two races I will have openings.
