Damn shame- I'm signed up to do competition school in January for this exact reason.

Really sad to see COTA sending this kind of message to their most loyal fans. Hopefully something changes and the event is either a) back on, or B) was never canceled in the first place.

I have communicated with Eric Prill this morning as well, he told me the same thing. Looks like we will see who is the best at learning a new track.. Doesnt look like any of us will get on the track before then.

The March Double National was never in question.

The contract was in place before the poorly thought out announcement.

If any of you have the F1 2012 racing simulation game by Codemasters, they have a fairly accurate rendition of COTA so you can get a feeling for the track layout before you hit the pavement. Unfortunately I will not be on track for the Majors event in March, but I will be flagging in one of the corners. Hope to see some friends from the SE do well there.

That's what I'm concerned about happening to the test days for the SCCA race or just weird BS.
