If that sounds about right then...

Saturday

Stock 2WD
Stock 2WD Truck
Stock 2WD SC
Mod 4WD SC
1/8 Scale
Stock Masters
Enduro

Sunday

SS 2WD
Mod 2WD
SS 2WD Truck
Mod 2WD Truck
SS 4WD
Mod 4WD
Mod 2WD SC


This format should allow a chassis to be run on either of the days and allow those who want to race both days not to have to race different vehicles. Days 1 and 2 are of roughly equal length.

The concept still works if stock and super stock are swapped between days and everying conforms to stock on day 1, SS on day 2, so some who would normally do only stock or only SS will do stock on day 1 and SS on day 2. I don't think it will work vise versa.
I think this is a really good idea. Of course everyone wants their classes to be on Saturday, and since I race superstock classes, I would vote to swap saturday and sunday But the grouping is pretty much ideal for most people to be able to pick 1 day or the other and find multiple classes they would be interested in...

The downside of this plan is that most people would only race 1 day or the other. Some feel that part of the fun of the ECT is having everyone racing on the same day. But the fact of the matter is that if everyone races on the same day, that is going to be a LONG day.

Of all of the splits proposed, I think this is the best one yet (except switching saturday and sunday).

Everybody has a class to run, 1 day event so its easy on your pockets and get home at a better time. And the crowd does not get split Super stock entries will not disappear. they will go to stock or mod whats the big deal? Your going to have to face it that class is obsolete. Stock was the stepping stone to mod not pro stock.... all that class is now is a spec mod class

True racing this way

3 quals Single A-mains

2wd stock
truck stock
2wd mod
truck mod
4wd mod
SC stock
SC mod
8th scale

This is just a opinion and a suggestion. Dont take it the wrong way!!

On these small, tight tracks I think SS is completely useless as well but since it's already been made clear that it will never go away I dont wanna fight a losing battle! I'll leave that to you Johnny and wish ya luck! 8 classes, all on the same day keeping everyone together but still home relatively early is a great idea. But I would bet my marbles against it happening.

By splitting up the days you now have two club races. Keep it simple, keep it affordable and we will come.
