2011 Schedule

Located here: http://kensethfanracing.webs.com/2010nnrcspage.htm

What we have in store for Nashville; being that it is a landmark for country music, we'll have the fans vote for an artist, and whoever gets the most votes gets the race title.

The NNRacing.com Shootout will have the same ideal as NASCAR's Budweiser Shootout, but without segments.

The NNRacing.com All-Star Event will have the same ideal as NASCAR's original All-Star race. We'll rotate tracks from year-to-year. The 25 drivers with the most points lock in to the event, two drivers race their way in via the Showdown, a third is a vote in driver.

The All-Star race consists of four segments, each 20 laps. The leader at the end of the last segment wins the All-Star.

There's been some shuffling around on the schedule since the one in the link above was posted. I'll go ahead and lay out the schedule here:

Extended the length of many of the races, because I felt many of the lengths displayed of the race name didn't have a nice round number.

No Riki?

I try to stay true to real life in this series, which is why all the tracks listed are tracks in real life.

Gateway, Milwaukke, Nashville?

I am dissapoint.

Darlington!

Hey, all three of those races last year weren't half bad (in this league, of course), I mean, you had Alex Rush holding up traffic as usual at Gateway, Greg Berkowitz running headfirst into the pit road wall at Milwaukee, and a woman driver winning at Nashville in part due to a few late cautions.

By the way, you misspelled "Milwaukee".

Updated the list.

Like I said, I like to stay true to real-life events. It didn't occur to me until just now that Gateway International Speedway had closed. With that said, unless somebody buys the track and it goes up for general racing again, the event that track was supposed to host will be replaced with the Long Beach Street Circuit.

While I'm on this topic, I just want to say that while North Wilkesboro is as well closed, the Save the Speedway foundation has been working to revive this track. At that, they did manage to re-open the track again late last year, even though it didn't stay open. Nonetheless, knowing they haven't given up on reviving the track yet, my mind is set for them.

However with nobody to support Gateway International Raceway, I can't say the same for them.

I thought North Wilkesboro was still open?

I'm going to make a "Save Riverside" foundation. But Dan, there's housing and malls there! so? i'll tear them down! I'll make them rue the day that they take away one of the greatest road courses ever, do you know who they're messing with? they're messing with a guy who will bulldoze down their houses down! "but what if they sue?" I'll be the judge, jury and executioner!


except for the cats, I just love cats! especially ones with poptarts for bodies.....

Like I said, though, they haven't given up on reviving it yet. We'll just have to wait and see.

Making to have myself a deal on the topic of the current status of the North Wilkesboro Speedway. Although Save the Speedway is still trying to revive this track, they have nobody to work with them to fund it. So this is what's going to happen: if Save the Speedway can find someone to fund the track and put it up for business again by the time the NNRCS race rolls around, it keeps the date on our schedule. And if it doesn't, somebody else will get the date. And for sure, it will not be Mosport.

On the topic of that track right now, I'm not sure why Save the Speedway would want to part with Speedway Associates if they want to revive the track. I mean, what they intend to do is right there in the group title, but they sure aren't doing what they intend to do if they're going to pass that up...

I'm just curious, why not Mosport?

Because from what I know about that track for NR2003, the place is a failfest. ARLA race was fail, AERS Qualifying Race there was fail...

The real race wont be fail. I promise. <3

^^ LIES ^^

Not to mention I wrecked as well as most everyone else.

Anyways, with Nashville losing all sanctioned events for the 2012 season, I guess I won't be running there unless somebody buys the speedway before I can run the race there. I might replace that date with the Nashville Music City Motorplex racetrack, if it's any good.

12 cars retired. Idk where your getting everyone else from?

It wasn't that bad, just the usual road course shenanigans.

Being that it is now August and five months after the March earthquake, not to mention that next season is set to begin in 2012, I've decided to put Twin Ring back on the schedule.

As for a replacement date should the North Wilkesboro Speedway and the Save the Speedway foundation not find an associate, some tracks that could take it's place would be Watkins Glen, Salem, New Hampshire, Chicagoland, the Daytona Road Course, BMP, Sonoma, Homestead, Magny-Cours, maybe even Bowman-Gray.

As of right now, in case North Wilkesboro can not find an associate, the primary option for it's replacement would be Salem. I think I'm going to have to do a fair amount of editing to the track.ini.

I'm a bit bored this evening, so I've decided to put both Nashville race title voting and the track voting for the All-Star event up now. I'll reply to this post when I've set up the voting modules.

One thing I've decided to do about the All-Star voting, I will randomly pick five out of the 27 tracks already on the NNRCS schedule so that the voting module doesn't take up half the page, and it make it easier for me.
