Who's still running?
The season ended over a month ago for me and now we have 3 of the 4 team cars tore down for a rebuild. While we are up here banging knuckles I was wondering who out there is still racing? When does the track close in your area? From when to when does your points season run?

I don't run for points but I believe the points season just ended for us around here.

I'm still running though, in fact, may run tonight. Our local track (Moroso) only closes for about two weeks for the holiday. It will reopen early January, last scheduled run is on the 19th of Dec.

We ended in October. Track closed on Halloween. We start again in April.

The car is in the garage and in the process of being taken apart and rebuilt.

Season here ends in mid September. We start up again the first week of May. For the last 2 years our opening day was snowed out.

No points for me so I dunno. But so long as the temp is 40* or above we are running down here. I couldn't stand to be up north right now.

It sucks in some aspects, but it is allowing me to break in my new engine and get the parts to rebuild the rearend without having the ability to act on the itch to go racing.

How do you guys get any work done on the car if the track only closes for a couple of weeks or not at all?

I don't race much in the summer, so I usually do work then.
