It looks like electric buggy class is going to be a big class again.

I vote for the 23rd if it rains out but I'm good either way.

With only one vote the 23rd takes the lead for a rain out.

I say run it Sunday if it rains out...The cancer race is the 23rd. I don't think it work blending both races. JM2C. I know we are committed to the cancer race on the 23rd. and will not be able to race on the 24th.(Easter) OR I would plan on this race getting some rain if I was you Homer...might not rain it out,but I would plan on it getting some rain. I say start at 9AM run 1 Q and go into the mains. If there is still dry weather we could always do a dash for cash for the extra run time. I talked to Fanelli about this and he is onboard. The weather here is saying that the rain will start around 1-2PM hard rain is going to be moving in around 4PM. This way we get the race in the books.

Ok I didn't know about the race he had scheduled alreaon the 23rddy, so that is out


I can try my best to get things started at 9am. That will take racers helping me out by not wainting untl 9 to register.

I will run the first round and then do a main style resort. the 2nd round will be the mains if it rains, if it doesn't rain I will resort again and run the third rounds as the mains. this will make all makes the same length as your quailifer is the only drawback. Now if we get two solid rounds in and it looks like we can do the third round with extended mains we will go with that. I can make the software do just about anything. if no rain and we can do three rounds plus mains we will do that to.

sounds good Homer. Just wanted to see if we will be running 10 or more in a heat if the heats will become our finishing order. if we have 2 heats of each class, thats 12 heats. thats a little over 3 hours at 6 minutes each plus warm-ups. that doesnt take into acounct any unforseen hick-ups. 2 rounds of quals would set us up for mains at around 4...... just throwing out ideas.
