| For next season's truck schedule we were talking in teamspeak of having the schedule follow the truck series schedule in real life, IE. running the monday before the actual race date, and then filling the off weeks with track we always run and race good with. We would NOT run a febuary to november schedule because that would be "too long" but rather split the season in two 15-18 races or something else. what are everyone's thoughts of this?

| this is a great idea, but maybe not go the full truck schedule because it might drag on too much | |

| LNR does it. Its basically 1 full truck schedule but nixed in to 2 seasons. It works, but with the amount of 'off weeks' the truck series has in real life. I'm afraid people would lost interest in the league with so many off weeks. And don't say I'm wrong because I know exactly how this gig goes. It'll be fun for a bit but people would eventually stop giving a crap after an entire month off not racing the series. LNR's truck seasons usually begin with 15 or so people and by halfway in the season they had 4 or 5 trucks racing weekly.
-Edit, just noticed the part about filling in off weeks with other tracks lol. Still IDK, I think a regular 12-15 race schedule like Lambert said would be the best option.

| IDK, I think we should run a normal schedule, like 12-15 races like we normally do. But I'm all game for running what they do in real life. | |

| I don't mind running real life tracks, but a 15 race schedule is the maximum, even if the seasons are split up, the interest would be low for a 2nd season. | |

| if we split the tucks season in two (feb-july) the first half of the season would have less real races and many off weeks, sometimes 3 weeks at a time. which is why i suggested schedule filling. for the second half there would be alot more real races. that would give us a 15-18 race schedule for a season feb-july and july-nov if we do schedule filling. if not it would be either be a strung out first half feb-aug and a tight packed 2nd half aug-nov. or a long 22 race season feb-nov | |

| IDK. I say just keep it simple and keep it the way its been. 12-15 race season schedule, mainly actual truck series races. That is how the CRI Truck series was run and it was probably one of the more fun leagues I and many others ran. | |

| thats what i was planning on, its just that theres just not many real races in the first part of the season. if we did a 15 weeks strait starting at daytona there would only be like 6-7 real races. maybe a mix of truck and cup schedule? or a nationwide schedule? | |

| I say we run something similar to this. And after this season, change to a different mod like we've always done.
1. Daytona 2. Martinsville 3. Texas 4. Darlington 5. Bristol 6. Charlotte 7. Pocono 8. Iowa 9. ORP 10. Road Course 11. Kentucky 12. Talladega 13. Richmond 14. Pikes Peak 15. Atlanta | |

| I actually really like that schedule. As far as the tracks involved. Placement of them eh. I think we should take out a track or two and add Michigan and possibly add Chicago or something. | |

| Chicago would be cool, but Michigan kind of fails in CTS physics. Do you not remember CRI, LoL. But yeah, placement needs work. We need to go to a different kind of track every week. | |

| Not sure what Michigan races you've run with Trucks but Michigan with CTS Physics is about the best racing you can have. If you run the right version anyways | |

Atlanta This is pretty much going to be our schedule. I hope at least. The Road Course should either be Three Rivers (which would be epic with trucks) or the Glen. Also we could probably take out Pikes Peak but that was a pretty good race in NW so meh. | |

| what about homestead? I remember everyone was wanting to run homestead a few weeks ago. Idk about Atlanta and Charlotte; high banked 1.5 quads are kinda lame with CTS but that's only 2 out of 15. also would anyone like to maybe run the old, flat Las Vegas? | |

| I seem to recall some of the best races with CTS physics on a track like Charlotte. If done right, you can't run full throttle for more than a few laps before you have to start worrying about tires.
The DSR all star race at Charlotte was at the top of my list of favorite races. There should be at least one, and I would vote for Charlotte. | |

| Yeah, the setup we used last night was iffy, but I don't remember every going full throttle during the race. During qualifying it was done, but not in the race (for me at least).
Just needed some changes, but we hopefully will have a better setup for next season | |

| Texas Night SBP was lame, but the two races in the CRI ARCA Series (even though gns) were good races, despite one of them having only one lead change and someone leading 50/51 laps lol | |

| Atlanta is awesome with CTS Physics. Hell Atlanta is awesome regardless. I could see replacing Texas but we are keeping Atlanta. | |
