actual race time could be 5-6 min. and then you have to shut your car down, place it in tech, and go out to marshall, ant put 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lb bag...

unless i am missing something,if so sorry for the input

well, 2 min warm up and five min qual and 3 on the tail end for finishing qual run and movement to the next heat....

it works but it must be consistent and drivers must do their jobs by get off the stand, put radio down and immediately on the track to marshall. One minute of lag time will push the program to almost midnight on Friday.

Yeah, I also saw that the ROAR staff did indeed plan 5 minutes between races. I hope that everyone gets on and off fast enough so that the races that follow wont be delayed. I hope the racers will be ready cause if they aren't, they'll be late to the starting gate. Great job guys, keep it up.

So is there much power for in the pitting area? Will there be any big generators rented anywhere for use or power outlets. Is there much for lighting around the pit area?

There is plenty of outlets if you are pitting inside. The place has been completely full and they never have had a problem.

I am not sure about this but you might want to go the WI/IL section and post it under the Leisure Hours heading there. Seems that you might get an answer quicker.

Default Pitting

Don't know if I missed it somewhere in the thread but how many spaces are available for indoor pitting?
