Who here would be interested and would go if lancaster had races one day a week for sport compacts. Like how they had the midnight runs a couple years back but instead it would be at 5pm and go to 11pm. Give me some suggestions. Good idea or bad idea. ---

I was just there for the first time and had a lot of fun! My schedule is waaay to full to go every week but I think there might be enough sport compacts around to make this work. Hell people are always going to Mighty, why not meet at a track? I mean isn’t a track a better place for car people to meet? Some of the young bucks seem to have cash problems so it would be best to keep it low priced since a large portion of sport compact owners are young. My 2 cents. ---

Do you have some sort of pull at Lancaster? If so, yeah go for it the more places we have to race the better. And while your at it, see if you can get them to move somewhere we can get a 1/4mi out of too. ---

Now that I think about it the only way you will get sport compacts is to have roll racing. (Sorry I couldn’t resist) ---

^ lol…I heard some stories about some Civics while everybody was at the Taffy’s meet…short-shifting, bad dial-ins, etc…haha Meets at the track would be cool…though on Tuesdays at Lancaster it’s amateur night, and there IS a sport compact class. 🙂 ---

Lancaster is a LOT closer than NYI. We could do Lancaster more often, like Taffy’s or Mighty, but NYI maybe once or twice in the summer. ---

It would be nice to get a day for the sport compacts I think. The lancaster people are very interested in doing this. ---

I think the key is to let it catch on and not give up after two weeks. “If you build it they will come”. (Eventually):biglaugh: It takes time for enough people to get used to putting it in their schedule. ---
