Hello future lcs participants,
I have not forgotten you , I have been busy with our west coast seres. I intend on setting up a meet next week in Texas and I am calling the dealers tomorrow to make those arrangements. I will keep you posted on my progress. We have added 11 new drivers this year and we are averaging 26 participants per event. By the time I get to Texas ( this year)we will have worked out all the bugs. lol

Please go to mwww.motorsportsreg.com and register as a member of the lotus challenge series. Only three of you have done it since I last asked for it. It is an easy way for me to communicate with the members. see you soon. Jim

I am arriving Saturday night at LOG and would like to meet as many Texas contingency as i can and go over the plans for your lcs events. Yes they are in the works but if you have been following our west coast series it has been busy. We just secured Laguna Seca which is a big deal simply from a financial stand point. Offering world class venues for 25 cars is difficult but we did it.Texas is next on the horizon with so many of you wanting to have a series I see it developing even quicker than our west coast series. I am making a presentation at the track day and Al has volunteered his car for some LCS badging. See you all there. JIm
BTW your code name is LCSS

No worries, i know you have been very patient and I will deliver a series to Texas. I am as excited about it as you are.

...m... · 07-15-2009, 07:54 PM

...any update on the texas series, either registration or planned events?..it's not at all easy to find on lotuschallengeseries.com...

...i'm putting together our fall racing calendar for the ACBC club and would love to properly promote participation amongst our membership...

Alphonse · 07-16-2009, 04:47 AM

From what I gather, due to all that was going on out on the west coast relative to their series, the time it took to get enough people signed up for the Texas series and make contact with all the venues, dealerships, and Lotus, the series down here will start some time in the fall, (September I'm guessing), with 4 events planned.
What dates and venues has not yet been published.
Jim Navarro will be posting the schedule here I am sure, as it becomes available.

I know how you feel. Hang in there we will get to Texas. We are finishing the rules for 2010 and those will be your rules starting this year. I had anticipated having the sponsorship completed but we are finalizing the details now. I will keep you all posted.

Dmbrown34 · 09-15-2009, 05:54 PM

My car is going to be shipped from LA pretty soon. Dont know when it will get here. Regardless, I'll try to help out in any way.

Made some great friends on the west coast. Some amazing drivers out there. Would love to see the TX series take off!
