In response to comments received from a variety of NEDiv drivers, a schedule for the 2006 NEC series has been developed that accomplishes many of the wishes of the respondents. First, it includes both ends of the double regionals at Pocono and NHIS instead of the past practice of just using the Sunday race for NEC purposes. Second, due to schedule conflicts and low attendance, the BeaveRun NEC race will be run in conjunction with the national race in June. This is typically a just an FC / FF field, so it shouldn’t be too bad for the Club Fords (I’ll keep track of them for NEC points). Third, a second Watkins Glen date (in July) has been added to the series. And finally, the NEC will be mostly aligned with the new FSCCA NEDiv Championship schedule (see SportsCar website for more details) to foster a greater event for formula cars. So, here's the 2006 NEC schedule featuring 10 events over 7 weekends:
NEC-1 April 29 Summit Point
NEC-2 May 13 Pocono
NEC-3 May 14 Pocono
NEC-4 June 18 BeaveRun (also a FSCCA event)
NEC-5 July 8 NHIS (also a FSCCA event)
NEC-6 July 9 NHIS (also a FSCCA event)
NEC-7 July 23 WGI
NEC-8 August 19 LRP (also a FSCCA event)
NEC-9 September 16 WGI (also a FSCCA event)
NEC-10 September 17 WGI (also a FSCCA event)
Sponsorship for the series is currently being worked out.
Plan to be with us in 2006 for a great time.
