There is a reason we are seeing more votes for #2. WC and the new TQ has Sat am programs. People (well me anyway) DO want to race at different venues, and do NOT want to split attendence. I am glad Sundays are not up for voting or I would never make it to BCR. I started with OC Circuit on Sundays and I want to continue to support that tremendous effort.

If I wanted to care less about the other programs already running, and pick the best time for ME, heck Sat am then for BCR as it is only 10min from my house.

BCR guys - WHat about a mid week option? A Thursday nite? I believe WC has Tues nite and TQ has Wed nite.
Option 1 IS for Sunday racing?

I focus my race schedule around the F1 series we're running at WCRC on the third sunday . F1 is my favorite class. Night racing is a lot of fun . And since it seams that night racing is only for the summer ? I'll take option numero dos . What up Raff ?, You must still have your girly figure since getting in and out of those karts isn't for guys who like to eat as their second best hobby like me.

IMO the weekend race is just too crowded. It's a no win-win situation for everyone. Choosing #1 will conflict with the other Sunday races like Camarillo and Charlie's. Choosing #2 will conflict WCRC races. Since Raf only wants to race once a week, why not make it a week night race. Judging by the poll, most of the racers are eager to race at night. A Thursday race under the lights would be awesome. Back in the days, we race at both ABC track and this track when it was called Ultimate Hobbies Track on weeknights and get a good amount of racers. It's gonna a different experience, outdoor race at night, I think it's awesome. just my .02 cents.

On choice #2, conflict should not be an issue since as far as I know Saturday On-Road moved to afternoon slot since it started few weeks ago, and for those who still want to race at the same day, Saturday night racing at BCR is the ticket. One of these days, I'd like to come to BCR again and do night racing for once.

Yep, my vote's for #2.

Don't take this personally but ALOT of you guys don't see the issue here!!! WC starts racing at 1:00pm, racing ends around 4:30pm at the earliest. Let's say at the latest BC starts racing at 6:00pm. That means if a driver wants to run at BC he/she has to hustle over to BC, factor in traffic, factor in that he/she will more than likely not be able to practice, don't forget having to unload their gear and FIND a place to setup. So as I said before it splits the racers, cause it will be EXTREMELY difficult to try and support both tracks on the same day which means he/she has to choose only 1 track. I like both tracks and want to support both but with Sat. night racing now I have to choose 1?!?!?! That's NO BUENO gents!!!!
