2013 CCS/ASRA PROPOSED Schedule

Here are the dates we have requested from race tracks for 2013. However, the schedule is still in PROPOSED status because we are still awaiting a couple of confirmations.

FINAL REGION POINTS FOR 2012 SEASON

With the exception of CCS Florida, all 2012 points for Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, SouthEast and Mid-West are final. We urge all riders to review the points in each region where they participated.

Region Championship Awards will be presented at various ceremonies during the first part of the 2013 season. We are in the planning stages for those events and will announce further details as they are finalized.

In that regard, if your name is misspelled in Results and/or Points, send us the correction so we can alert our trophy supplier, before they begin engraving on Nov. 30th.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS CROWNED DURING OUR 29th RACE OF CHAMPIONS

When the last checkered flag flew for the final race at Daytona, everyone celebrated at the Awards Ceremony and watched the new Champions accept their well-earned trophies and accolades.

Congratulations to All!

29th RACE OF CHAMPIONS INFO

September 6, 2012

Pre-entry is officially open for our 29th Annual Race of Champions at Daytona International Speedway!

In addition to Pre-Entry forms for CCS, ASRA and the AMA Road Race Grand Championships, the Official R.O.C. Mailer contains important information for everyone planning to attend.

Please read it carefully from cover to cover since several things have changed, including the locations for Registration and the area set aside for staging.

Red Flag Fund Auction Date Changed

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Red Flag Fund Auction originally scheduled for August 18th, 2012 has been rescheduled for September 22nd. The event still will be held at Blackhawk Farms Raceway during the CCS event.

The Red Flag Fund uses the annual auction to help seriously injured racers throughout the season. If you would like to send a donation, visit www.redflagfund.org. The Fund also accepts items throughout the year to be auctioned off at a live event or on eBay.

The Red Flag Fund is dedicated to helping seriously injured road racers. By raising money through apparel sales, auctions and other events, they are able to bridge financial gaps not covered by insurance. They are a Federal 501 (3)(c) non-profit charitable organization.

SUMMIT POINT PADDOCK RULE

Our Summit Point Summer Cyclefest is shaping up to be an exciting weekend. We will have a full paddock with our CCS and ASRA racers joined by competitors in the Side Car Racers Association and the F2000 Championship Series.

In that regard, we'd like to remind everyone that it is important to keep all Fire Lanes clear in the paddock area. If there is a painted white line at the edges of the road at your pit, keep all of your equipment behind that line. If there is no painted line, no more than one foot onto the asphalt.

If you do not go by these guidelines, be prepared to move since this rule will be strictly enforced.

R.I.P. Bill Fehrman, Mid-West Race Director

Aug. 16, 2012:

It deeply saddens us to announce that our Mid-West Race Director, Bill Fehrman, died this afternoon in a Wisconsin hospital. We have been told that injuries sustained in an accident several weeks ago resulted in complications that he could not overcome.

Bill and his family have been our dear and trusted friends since the early days of CCS. He loved every kind of racing, but especially motorcycle racing. His absence will be felt by every person in our organization.

Our sincerest condolences go out to the Fehrman family!

The funeral service for Bill Fehrman will be Monday, August 20th. Visitation from 9:30-11:30 am with service to follow at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 2220 E College Ave, Appleton WI.

Bill Fehrman (April 12, 1944 - August 16, 2012) R.I.P. Bill, and God Speed You Will Be Missed!
