Really liking how you're doing the raffle. Gives people a little incentive to show up at every race.

Just found out about this thread today.
Ritchie and Kody, thanks for heading up a *traveling* racing series. I think it brings a lot to the entire racing scene by creating new exposure to all the racing venues, which normally wouldn't happen. I know that Brian's previous series pulled me into going to Timezone for the very first time. That place is a mind bender, in the very best way imaginable.

This is coming from a new racer so don't take what I say as anything worth a grain of salt.
I think everyone wants as much track time as possible. Could we set it up by the number of entries we have for a given day? Would have to be calculated each day of course to allow enough time to finish within our "sunshine" periods. So, if we have a low turnout, we could run 8 min qualifiers and 8 min mains. If it's a heavy turnout we could bump it down to 5 and 5. I'm not sure how long it takes to run a complete race from "get your ass on the track" to the final car passes the loop but im sure it can be guestimated. Now running 15 min races might hinder some who don't have high capacity batteries, but I'm sure there's a sweet spot somewhere.

Just because we might be able to run that long doesn't mean we should. What do you think your awesome car will feel like when your tires heat up to the point of sliding around around the x amount of time, just to hear the rd announce 9 minutes to go. Also, these tires cost some coin and the extra run time, especially when they are overheated will mean that they get destroyed quicker. We set up our cars for 5 or 6 minutes in qualifying so I feel racing the main should be of similar time which is why I posted what I would prefer a few posts back.
The reason I would rather have normal race lengths in both qualifiers and mains is so we could keep the 3 qualifiers that Kody mentioned in the original post. These series have had big turnouts in the past and I would think that it will have big turnouts now.

VTA Pillows FTW! 3 qualifiers gives plenty of track time as well hehe.
