Here is a proposed schedule as a starting point for discussion.
Monza in week 3 can be replaced by Apricot Hill, if it becomes available. If Apricot Hill is not yet available, move HSR in to week 3 from week 8, and hope Apricot Hill is available by week 8 to run in place of HSR. If Apricot Hill is not available by week 8, have an emergency replacement race planned in advance, so everyone knows what the backup track is, and can practice ahead of time accordingly.
If you want to run one less race, cut the SSRX race out of week 2. This also means one less race at SSRX, which should make most people somewhat happier.
The Coca Cola 600 has been cut in half to become the Coca Cola 300, as running 32 consecutive laps at SSRX is simply sadistic torture. If you want even less monotony, I liked the idea someone had of running twin 150-mile races (8 laps each) back-to-back, and counting them both as individual races, run for full points, with both race wins counting toward the Chase.
Add weeks off or breaks as needed, or not.
With no breaks, and SSRX from week 2 removed, you're looking at 16 total races, or a little under 4 months from beginning to end.
let ne guess, they're in team lag? 
And as far as road courses go, I don't think would should pick 🤬 tracks like HSR and SuzE just because their similar to ovals, pick ones we can actually have fun on 
), not a road course. And SuzE is pretty much a small oval, but instead of a back straight it has a few sweeping corners.
