The ROC  usually has 750 to 1500 entries.Most CCS racers dont read this forum and did not know about the poll.

I think we would have had bigger grids had it been at HPT. Not only would we have had us CCS guys there, but since the ROC has always been an open format I think we would have drawn from CMRA, CRA, MRA and possibly a few WERA folks. Next time, don't have a poll if it's going mean nothing. -John Deuser

Used to have more.  I think just about 2000 in 2000.  And insurance has gone up dramatically, thus, reducing the ability to rent the track for as many days as ROC ,and even the spring Daytona races, have been reduced.

Agreed that not everyone is on the forum, but it is still away to gauge possible interest in other opportunities.

The decision is made. Doesn't matter why so load up a trailer with some buddies, split the gas, camp at the track, eat out of a cooler and road trip to Miami to race motorcycles.

If not stay home and pick weeds or mow your lawn.

as a slow learner i made sure to attend the ROC last year to ensure that i had some laps at Daytona in preparation for a full season's attempt at a top 3 finish this year at the ROC in my chosen class.  the likelihood of me making an earlier run at Homestead this year at this late date is nil so i will be attending and will do the best that i can.  i was actually hoping for a non CCS track to be selected that was more central to all the racers with Road Atlanta being my preference but it is what it is and we all will have to do the best that we can.  how many laps do you have at Homestead Greg?  would you be willing to lead me around for 1/2 a session?

I was excited about the possibility of racing in my first ROC....not excited anymore because there is no way I'm making that trip.

I really am sorry to see the way this turned out...maybe someone will give us an explanation on why the majority winner was not chosen.

Try this one! If Topeka was owned by ISC (Daytona) and Homestead was not, the ROC would have been in Topeka!

Well, DIS has been an integral part of CCS since its beginning in 1984.  I believe that DIS owns Homestead.

Yup.. this has something to do with it..

Try again, if everyone that voted followed the instructions for the poll......

'Please vote based on your likelyhood to attend the event. If you know you are not going to attend regardless of location, please do taint the results by voting.'

How many racers actaully attend ROC?



Many racers that DO attenct ROC do NOT even know there is a CCS website forum. So it's a bit unfair to say what you did..

Agreed!

Apparently, they had talked at one time.
