Wsid Track Calendar '06/'07

[2rismo]

The new calendar provides:

• two major ANDRA Championship events – ACDelco East Coast Nationals and the

Summernationals, six months apart;

• two major non ARS Championship events (Boxing Day and Nitro Champs), with a mix of Group One rounds;

• one national open (October, with a revival of the State of Origin format, this time for Supercharged Outlaws);

• five bracket events (as rounds of the Track Championship);

• plus a range of specialist events –

o Ford V Holden

o two Nostalgia races

o two ANDRA Championship Sports Compact events

o Compak Attak (not an ANDRA Championship in 2007)

o one Burnout/big dollar bracket race

o two swap meet.

This will give NSW racers a similar spread of Group One events to the past season:

o four Top Fuel

o four Top Alcohol

o two (and possibly three) Top Doorslammer (plus one or two non-championship round-robin shows, as run last December)

o three Top Bike

o two Pro Stock

o two Pro Stock Bike.

This calendar will also:

• provide breaks between events (to avoid, where possible, the back-to-back-to-back run we had in April-May, which exhausts racers, spectators, staff and volunteers);

• keep the number of events to a manageable level (for racers and staff – more than 12 in a season is too much for most racers);

• avoid clashing with even minor events at Willowbank;

• push the Summernationals to mid-February to open the gap between it and the Boxing Day TF event;

• provide a month away from racing (other than street meets) in June, and

• switch the Track Championship from the major events we have been running it over this past season to five bracket events (to satisfy racer requests that they are more locally oriented). This will enable us to boost the bracket meets, as they will have some importance and relevance for racers. To further assist in this, the Track Championship for next season will reward the winners of each bracket with free entry for the year to all WSID-run open events.

so one would assume tere will be two sport compact championships going.

1. ANDRA

2. RAY BOX promoted champioship

understandably the rival championship will not count towards ANDRA national records and will have different classes but along the same lines.

interesting.

Thanks for the update. looking forward to the new season.

Care to share why Ray Box has gone solo? What benefit will this provide?

[2rismo]

The benefit is to Ray's bottom line apparently.

i dont know why ray has decided to do a break away championship.

if it grows the sport whos cares whos bottom line it improves.

he seems to be able to run very effective events such as the success of Jamboree which has been a success for many years.
