For us we just leave early. Club racing should be structured to end at a reasonable time period. This has never really happened with MARCCAs winter off road program in the 4-5 years I have been a member. I often joke with Jason as we are coming home from races at other tracks 2-3 hours away that we would still have time to stop by MARCCA on the way home if he wanted to because they would probably not be finished yet. Yes big races and special events do many times run late, but normal club racing? Other tracks either limit entries (at big events), shorten the time or number of qualifiers or change the starting time to finish at a reasonable time. The race director needs to run a tight ship and the racers need to respect and work with him to make this happen. With numbers increasing for the program everyone will need to work together to get the most track time without a lot of wasted time and get out a decent hour. Just sort of how it is.
