We have just 3 weeks of racing left for Season 19. What should we do next? We've had 15 drivers compete this year, the most since 2013.

Should we do some off-season exhibitions on occasion? A short track mini-series? A one-night festival-style event with several races? Wait until next winter because of all the stock car racing coming up?

Tracks you'd like to suggest to try out? Tracks to add back in? New formats? Open setups for some races? I still want to do a "King of the Hill" bracketed tournament duel race night.

I think it would be cool if we did a Special Events series over 5 weeks with 5 different mods or something like that.

As always, thanks everyone for coming out. Keep trying to pull new racers in.

Off-Season Exhibitions sound novel. Short track mini-series, not sure. I think short tracks are where these cars belong to begin with so I am probably in the minority there. I think a couple DRT or other track modder dirt ovals would be cool, (I'm ALL in if it's Kokomo or Gas City).

A drop and go festival type series is cool. Random starts, let it rip, no wear, no segments, fixed sets.

A short summer series would be cool just to keep the rust off. 6-8 races maybe?

It's probably a broken record to everyone here, but I'd personally like to see a few of the Mike Jackson (paved) fictional short tracks thrown in. Not sure about older tracks as I never got to run the old Legends Series way back in 2005 when I originally tried to, so anything there would be all new to me. Again a broken record, but anything over a mile really bores me, and I just don't think these cars belong on those tracks, but that's just me. My perfect scenario as a ratio? 60% paved short tracks, (1/2 mile or less), 20% dirt short tracks, 15% short road courses, (I'll be taking a provisional if the 'Ring shows up on the Legends schedule ) 5% Speedways, (3/4 to 1 1/2 mile).

I love the fixed setups for the race, open for Time Trials. Best of both worlds in my opinion, and easy for a guy like me that doesn't have a lot of time, (or desire) to work on set ups, or has a long list of older set ups to try. I can just come in, strap in, and try to do my best as a driver instead of a chief mechanic.

Format-wise? It ain't broke...don't fix it, other than lose segments period. When the green flag drops...and all, ya know? Lap lengths have been real cool. I can get up out of the race rig and still have time for ice cream before I fall asleep, and that's something that's very attractive to me with the schedule we run at SUPRS.

Love racing these cars and these are just my opinions. It's things that I tend to like as a sim racer, other things I like as a race fan, some things I think work as a promoter/race-league director, and a few others that I just think would be fun. None are meant to be taken as me thinking something is wrong with the way things stand now, because this is a great division to run in. Keep up the good work!

Well I'll definitely give it some time off because the schedule is full of other racing before kicking around the idea some more.

I'm always open to new track suggestions. As some of you saw or participated with, I did extensive track testing last offseason. The cars run fine on almost any track, but there's limited opportunity for competition and passing on several of them. I have a wordpad file in my LCH folder of all the considered tracks, so it will be referenced in the future. We'll also go back to some older used tracks like Huntsville.
