We had a couple of races in 2009 in CP where we had 7 minute quals and I liked it, it gives us more run time, and it also makes it more interesting.

Its logic, Michael!

It's sad when we get guys that come in for 1 pit stop in 5 minutes and we still get beat by a lap and 10 minutes they come in for 2 or 3 stops and we get beat by 2 laps, so lets enjoy more time on the track and not get beat to bad from the pro's, lol..

Just trying to let racers have more time on the track racing then strategy for quals, that's what mains are for.. .
I'm also not a big fan of 7 min quals, but whatever, everybody has the same rules, so its fair.

Who needs to make two fuel stops in 7 mins?

I think the 7 minutes brings on different challenge, its not all about the driver the pit man gets to play a part in the results of our qualifiers. You right Scott it will be the same for all of us.

if the purpose is to let everyone run more lets do 10 minutes
7min. is not, roar or ifmar - 7 minutes helps those ,who because of motor or lack of throttle control can not make run time

I must apoligize to any of you racers why I have worked a little around the L.V. racers for the first series race schedule. I am not cattering to them at all,,I just want them part of the series and do to they have the longest haul, even if I do not have in friends in L.V., I do not even have friends in California, oh well, I do not care.; lol.

It because L.V. racers have supported SpeedWorld and support the L.A. club as much as possible over the years, they deserve this for the first series, that's why I have worked a little around them and made some different rules and time schedule.

If the second series goes on, then there will be a few changes because the racing will be two day event for sure. I like practice all day, but what ever works for you guys, I will be happy. I am not going to make everybody happy, I try, but it will not happen. y

You all mean something to this series and deserve it, that why I am trying do put this series on.

Come and race and have fun!!!!!!!!

Billy

billy if your are getting beat by 2 laps on a 5 min. qual. by someone who
pits and it costs them 7-9 sec. to do that- and now qual. are increased to 7 min. so that you- who before did not have to pit now will and it will also cost you 7-9 sec. seems to me that you would get beat worse- mike might not make run time but i am pretty sure ralph does i was not at the pre-worlds
but i believe robert only made 1 pit stop in the 10 min quals

Your right Steve

If we all got what we wanted then it would not be a race or a competition. Regardless of rules, track setup, ect. We are all facing the exact same issue as the racer next to you. The big part is who can adapt to the challenges better, that's what makes it a race and or competion.
