Time to start requesting the PTO...

VORRA ANNOUNCES REVISED RACE SCHEDULE FOR 2012 AND WILL REQUIRE HEAD & NECK RESTRAINTS STARTING 2013

The new VORRA 2012 race schedule is as follows:
April 13-15         Short Course Double Header     Prairie City, CA
May 26-28          Yerington 300 Desert Race        Yerington, NV
July 13-15           USA 500 Desert Race                Reno/Sparks, NV
September 8-9    Night Vision 250 Desert Race    Fallon, NV
October 26-28     Short Course Double Header     Prairie City, CA

That first race is going to stack up right behind Moab March 31 - April 8.
April 13-15         Short Course Double Header     Prairie City, CA

Doesn't leave much time to switch cars.

I don't believe we are planning on running the short course.

That list is all the Vorra races, not necessarily the ones we will run.  I wish I had the time to race them all. 
I wore a head restraint system for the first time at the short course races.  Although it is a hassle to get on, it feels very nice not worrying so much about breaking your neck.

Our first order of business is getting new seats and the suspension fixed.  I have been pretty happy with the normal restraint but we will see how the new job goes as far as upgrading to a full HANS setup early.  New helmet and such wasn't in my budget plans so it may have to wait a year.

I just got a E-mail from safe racer with Hans devices in it. Not a bad price for this one.

Good link... I've been searching for an affordable HANS device.

Speaking of safety equipment I somehow ended up with 2 black driving suits in my camper after the last race.  Is anyone missing a suit?

I think Buds suit is black.  Erics too.

Hey all,
Just to let you know I will not be making the USA500. Dad is retiring this year and taking the whole family to Hawaii. We fly out on 7/13..

September race is questionable also as I have a conflict there too...

Ho Hum.... next year I guess....

If you can make the second one it would be fun to see you out here.  We'll get some miles in for you. 

Yeah, sorry to say I will not be racing this year either. Just too much going on this summer to justify the expense of the travel.
