VORRA ANNOUNCES REVISED RACE SCHEDULE FOR 2012 AND WILL REQUIRE HEAD & NECK RESTRAINTS STARTING 2013

The new VORRA 2012 race schedule is as follows:
April 13-15 Short Course Double Header Prairie City, CA
May 26-28 Yerington 300 Desert Race Yerington, NV
July 13-15 USA 500 Desert Race Reno/Sparks, NV
September 8-9 Night Vision 250 Desert Race Fallon, NV
October 26-28 Short Course Double Header Prairie City, CA

That first race is going to stack up right behind Moab March 31 - April 8.
April 13-15 Short Course Double Header Prairie City, CA

Doesn't leave much time to switch cars.

Post by: Invincible on December 20, 2011, 07:25:24 PM: That list is all the Vorra races, not necessarily the ones we will run. I wish I had the time to race them all.
I wore a head restraint system for the first time at the short course races. Although it is a hassle to get on, it feels very nice not worrying so much about breaking your neck.

I have been pretty happy with the normal restraint but we will see how the new job goes as far as upgrading to a full HANS setup early. New helmet and such wasn't in my budget plans so it may have to wait a year.

Good link... I've been searching for an affordable HANS device.

Post by: Invincible on February 01, 2012, 01:19:15 PM: I think Buds suit is black. Erics too.

Post by: jason hutchison on April 25, 2012, 01:20:57 PM: Hey all,
Just to let you know I will not be making the USA500. Dad is retiring this year and taking the whole family to Hawaii. We fly out on 7/13..

September race is questionable also as I have a conflict there too...

Ho Hum.... next year I guess....

Post by: Bigzook on April 25, 2012, 03:50:04 PM: Yeah, sorry to say I will not be racing this year either. Just too much going on this summer to justify the expense of the travel.
