There is a lot of practice, 4 qualifiers, triple A mains all completed at a reasonable hour in 4 days (compared to 5 days for Snowbirds/IIC).

Sure I would like the race to be so popular that we could go back to turning people away, only offering 13.5 (formerly 19T) and mod classes, and only allowing each racer to run one class.

I think the format works pretty well for everyone who does race.

For the record Rick I agree with you and Dave just said it best, there is no need for you defend the RROC. I was just giving you info on our race attendance. In our case people seem to like the various classes that are ran because it's a club and there's no focus on profit but it's still true onroad racing.
