At last night's TVR meeting it was announced that The Heart of Dixie race at NSS is going to be on Father's day weekend again for 2011.

For those of us who know more about cars than calendars, Father's Day will be June 19, 2011. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day

On the other matter, it was announced today that the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama presented by Legacy Credit Union will be held on April 10, 2011. http://www.indycar.com/schedule/55-i...ndycar-series/

GEEZ!!!!!!!!! Out of the frying pan and into the fire. So Indy is the 10th???? Alright now it appears that the question is which is going to have the largest impact on our event for out of town drivers who want to stay in motels .

Is it the NASCAR race on the 16th-17th of April or is it the Indy GP at Barbers 9th -10th of April?

I am pretty sure the NASCAR race is going to affect us more but Im not positive. They are apples and oranges.

NASCAR...no contest in my mind.

On a purely selfish note I really want to work corners for the Indy weekend again, but also want to do the PDX or possible the TT school at TGPR. I'm pretty sure I'd choose drivin' over flaggin' (sorry Chuck , but I wonder if we will be able to get enough workers if we do TGPR on the IRL weekend.

That leaves April 2-3 as the only weekend left in april. But if AMP opens up were screwed.

We are also at the mercy of the track owner and his schedule.

That is why we are talking about his now before TGPR forms a schedule solidly. Barber doesnt even get concrete untill Dec.
