Sports Car Club of America announced today a date change, a venue change and two confirmed weekends for four events on its 2014 U.S. Majors Tour slate. The updates complete the 2014 schedule.
The third and fourth rounds of the Northern Conference Championship are confirmed for May 30-June 1 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, in Lexington, Ohio. Rounds seven and eight of the Eastern Conference Championship will be at VIRginia International Raceway, April 18-20.
In the Mid-States Conference, the Texas World Speedway event announced at the end of October has been cancelled due to a major conflict with the Texas A&M calendar, resulting in a hotel room shortage. Eagles Canyon Raceway, in Decatur, Texas, has been added to the Mid-States Conference slate as the third and fourth rounds, March 15-16.
Also changing the Mid-States Conference schedule is the move of High Plains Raceway from July to the weekend of May 3-4. High Plains becomes rounds seven and eight and precedes the other Colorado event, Pueblo Motorsports Park, by three weeks.
“While we don’t like to change the schedule after it’s been announced, circumstances beyond our control have affected the Mid-States Conference,”SCCA Club Racing Director Butch Kummer said. “The net result is a better overall cadence to the schedule, with good spacing between the events, and we were able to move out of the extreme heat that has plagued the High Plains race for several years.
