I would like to introduce myself as the new competition director in the Atlanta Region suceeding Butch Kummer. I look forward to seeing you all at the track next year.

Last night at the Atlanta Region Board of Directors meeting we proposed a change to our schedule for the March and May races. Originally March 15 -17 was going to be our Double Majors Race (National) followed by a Rational in May (18 - 19).

The feeling in the region is that after the Majors race at COTA on March 8 - 10 was announced, coming to Atlanta a week later for another Majors race is not too appealing. Therefore we have proposed to reconfigure the schedule to make the March race a double SARRC/ProIT and the May race to be a Double Majors. We will be doing a single ProIT race in the Majors weekend in May.

Our goal is to maximize the turnout to the Road Atlanta events. We feel that this change will accomplish this and be friendlier to those that want to do a Majors race at Road Atlanta.

Some people have said that by not having the Majors race in March we will miss some of the drivers returning east from Austin.

I want to make the best decision for you the drivers and the region. I'd be very interested in your comments.

Nick

Autotechnik is going to the COTA double and would have missed the March double at RA, if this change happens we'll be able to make it so we're all for it!

Good news, I was just thinking how difficult that would be having two long pulls from Ohio back to back. I was thinking I might have to quit the day job. Glad you saw this coming.
