Default Time trials ECS CC Nov 19

Saturday Nov 19 is our final Corvette Challenge race. Though it is non-points, it is full payout so all cash and prizes will be given out. This is sort of a bonus race with no points pressure.

Extra Bonus...I will ride the bike!!!

Raceway Park is also running a Trophy Marathon on this day so the track will be a fairly crowded and the day will likely be long.

I would like your input on this.

Usually on a crowded day we get only two time trials. Last week everyone got three and there were some who did not like the day running so long. During trophy marathon, noone gets eliminated so it is going to be a long day.,

So my question is, if the track decides to give everyone three time runs, would you like me to intercept and have us run only two so we get out a little earlier than if we run three?

YES Yes! Yes ! YES! YES! YES! I think that is a good idea.. YES..

Edgar did I tell you I think if we had 2 TT it would be better... & if someone wants to run 3-4-5 runs they can enter the marathon!

I think if we only have two time shots, It would still be a late day. For someone like me learning a new car, I would need the 3 time shots. I understand that there are less events on this day as compared to last week. (There will not be the older cars and the Mustang classes.) I understand how everyone would like to get out early - unless Bob is feeding us again?

I'm good for 2 or 3. Doesn't seem to matter, I'm all over the place anyways. 2 will give less variables

Edgar, guys paid their money and if the track can accomadate everyone should get there 3 time run.
If you getting heat from those who don't like long days at the track, tell them what I always told them. STAY HOME, if your going to race plan on staying as long as it takes to complete the show.
It's that simple, don't change the schedule because of some whiners.

You can't please everyone so don't try.

I just made arrangements for the Pace Car to get some tweaking at ECS on Thursday. Now I will need more then 3 time shots. I will need to learn the car all over again.

They got big problems on the forum. A lot of people, me included are doing the same thing. You post and get an error message. So you post again. And again. And again. And again.

Edit each post, do a delete and then refresh.
