Hi Chris - the tentative dates for 2001 were announced at the meeting last
Friday night - tentative means that everyone has until the Board Meeting on
September 8th (correct me if I'm wrong, Mike) to check for any major
problems with the date (like a major earthquake is scheduled for the same
week, or something)
Speedweek 2001 (we may be calling it 2001 Speed Trials soon, so don't be
surprised)
August 18 - 24, 2001 (Inspection & pit set up on the 17th)
World Finals 2001
October 17-20, 2001
I don't know if the USFRA has scheduled their events for 2001 yet -
Bev (and it rained here! not much but hear the high desert got drenched -
how's El Mirage, Mike?)
