hey jon.. i always volunteer to do track maintenance anyways.. if charlie didnt mind... the mod guys can be put into a separate practice session where you guys are alone. UNLESS you want to run with the rookie stock and rookie nitro guys?

If you start creating seperate practice sessions for any class, you need to have timed practice sessions. Then the question is, how many timed practice sessions can you get in before racing starts. Figure that each practice is 20-30 mins.

i think for t 4 t i will try to get their by 5am to get the track prepped. Hopefully i will start setting up the track by 5:30am and get teh track ready by 6:15. With that in mind, ill have 15 min intervals between rookies,intermediate/sportsman,19/mod,nitro, and gearbox. Maybe this will work out better. I Guess we will see.

I concur. I haven't done your T4T races before, but having "controlled" practice sessions? Didn't seem like you needed them for Mazda Cup or your SSS races. This race is suppose to be for fun and getting toys to needy kids, right? Run it like you would any other La Mirada race.

On raceday, poll the "stock" drivers and see if they are interested in running 7 minutes too. That would definitely be interesting to try.

Exactly!! Seperate practice sessions for mod and other classes is to much work.

Just leave them at 5 min.! With the time change and getting dark earlier. Time is a valuable thing. Dont wanna race in the dark ya know !
