Ok we've settled on a triple a main format for the mains, we'll do the 2min short qualifiers for saturday, and run as much as we can of the mains till 6pm, then we'll finish up on sunday. This will give everyone alot of racing, which is the goal

The nitro's will follow the same 2 minute qualifier, they will get a 3 minute warmup instead of a minute thirty though. Lap times right now on our current layout is high 20's low thirties with the pros running 27's and 28's we'll be taking a 20 minute break between each set of mains if needed to water heavily.

you are racing to be in the AAA mains, so I will probably do BB for B mains, and Single mains for C's and below

Will there be a new layout and can we get some pictures? Also track surface and tire of choice would be awesome also. How about the watering schedule? Do you just soak it before each round or water every 2-3 heats as needed. TIA

you can see pictures of our track here

we have a hard packed surface when we run wet there's high traction, but its still packed, I run holeshots, but any smaller pin tire works great out here. We will water as needed, which will probably be every 3rd race in october.
