Also ovrp is probably the best geographically central track for everyone, was the problem not having enough time if running with other groups?

How about OVRP night race June 15?

If there is indeed a night race scheduled for ovrp on june 15's i add +1 for Ed's idea, its only one week difference from original date, same track.

I just lookwd at ovrp schedule for june 15th, if I am not misteken they have open practice till 4pm, then 4 hour enduro race, is it possible to run qualy and prefinal before enduro race and feature after the 4 hour endurro at night, not sure who is running enduro race, but there is possible exposure of the nesks and shifter karts in general there

^^^Hypothetical schedule June 15 :

Practice 10-1pm
Qualy 1:30
Enduro practice (if needed)
Prefinal race 2:30-3:00pm
Enduro practice (if needed)

Enduro 4-8pm

NESS feature under the lights at 8:30

{Edit} Michael has a good point it would give exposure to others that are interested in karting. OVRP would benefit from this also. Let the renters see what they could buy.

Guys, the date at OVRP with the nesks series alone is really not an issue. Remember the reason that we joined up with the F series. Our goal is to run a smooth tight ship. This is in no way an attack or to bash ANYONE, but fact is when you take 30 gear banging maniacs and through them in an event that is not really ready for us PROBLEMS HAPPENED. Not what anyone is looking for this or any year. Once again your wish is my command. Lmk, keep it coming, tell me what you want.

Since the NESKS and the F-Series are now working together I would like to add some input regarding the OVRP race! The date and location fit our schedule very well and was in no way an issue. With the joint effort of both programs we will be the largest karting program in the Northeast and to ensure our growth and quality we require some modest requests to be accommodated. Without the guarantee of our modest request we will not risk the time effort and money of our racers. Please rest assured Mike and myself are work extremely hard to bring our racers the best possible venues.

Would really love to see OVRP on the schedule, night race was great as well

After looking up Cherry Valley, I would much prefer to run their track over the kart track at summit point. The summit point track is really built for rentals, those tire walls on the apexes and exits of the corners are going to create a lot of carnage. Personally, I can't justify the drive there for the impending carnage lol.

Cherry Valley looks just as bumpy as OVRP or worse, but still a better layout than Summit. the 1st gear hairpin looks excellent, reminds me of Flemington from way back when Smile

Just my opinions

May race is scheduled on "Shenandoah" track at summit point, which is "inbetween" large road track and small kart track

Sorry Paul, missed that part about the Kart track. Taksa hit the nail on the head. From what I hear its a fast sprint track. Speed plus you need to know how to drive. Its the Shenandoah circuit.

Paul, having raced on Shenandoah a couple years ago, I have to say it was one of my all time favorite tracks for a shifter...does not seem big enough for cars...but what I like does not mean someone else will..I say give it a shot and form your opinion afterwards..I know a lot of wkc sprint guys love it as well. I am looking forward to that race more than any other one this year
