Two CCS regional race events, one at the Streets of Willow in California and another at Heartland Park on Kansas, have been cancelled and an October event at Summit Point Raceway’s Shenandoah Circuit may have to be canceled, according to a CCS mailer to racers e-mailed to Roadracingworld.com August 27.

The December 11-12 Pacific/Southwest Regional event (a double-points event) at the Streets of Willow in Rosamond, California has been cancelled “due to changes instituted by track management,” according to the CCS mailer.

The final event in the Pacific Region will now be the November 6-7 double-points race at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Buttonwillow, California, and the final event in the Southwest Region will now be the November 13-14 races at Firebird International Raceway in Chandler, Arizona.

The November 11-12 Great Plains/Mid-West Regional event (a double-points event) at Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas has been cancelled due to “rider concerns over weather and the uncharacteristically late date for an event in the regional series,” according to CCS.

The final event in the Great Plains Region will now be September 18-19 at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, Illinois, and the final event in the Mid-West Region will now be an October 9-10 double-points event at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, Michigan.

In addition, the October 9-10 Mid-Atlantic double-points event originally scheduled on the main course at Summit Point Raceway and moved by track management to the new Shenandoah Circuit may also have to be cancelled due to construction delays and safety concerns with the yet-to-be-opened course, according to CCS boss Kevin Elliott.

A call by Roadracingworld.com to Summit Point Raceway August 25 found that track owner Bill Scott would be out of his office for the next two weeks, but the woman who answered the phone – and refused to give her name – said the Shenandoah Circuit was still scheduled to open October 1.

Many racers who have visited the Shenandoah Circuit during its construction have noted the quantity and close proximity to the track of temporary K-rail concrete barriers around the Shenandoah Circuit.

Elliott told Roadracingworld.com August 26 that he would be attempting to reach Scott soon to resolve the issue because if CCS is to cancel the October race at the Shenandoah Circuit, he wants to notify racers by September 10.

If the Shenandoah Circuit event is cancelled, the final race for the Mid-Atlantic Region will be a double-points event at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia September 25-26.
