Interesting, you say two day events won't make a difference but you make reference to ETS which is highly successful with tons of MFR support AND it is a multi-day event that is well attended. For the most part, the more prestigious races are two or more day events. There aren't a ton of highly attended events that are one day events, FSEARA events shouldn't be either.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but going back in time, aren't the best days of FSEARA during the times when we had two day events? We have voted for the same thing for at least the last 5 years(the amount of time I have been back into racing R/C) and Attendance has either stayed the same or decreased during that time. We need to change what we have been doing to get a different result. Things do not Magically get better, they have to be made better.


AND....there are only a couple of differences than what we have now and the 2-Day event I am proposing...We spend $1,000's to race these things, take a ton of time preparing to make them as good as possible and some of us are letting a $50-$60 Hotel Room determine if we can go to a race or not. I just don't get it....Waking up at the Ass-crack of ddawn...driving 593 miles round trip, fitting in 3 qualifiers and a main and getting home at midnight cannot be desirable or fun. There ain't no freakin' way!
And for Minnreg....I'm sure we could work something out to have a couple of Qualifiers on Saturday night instead of practicing all night long. 2 Qualifiers Saturday night after oval, 3 and a main on Sunday?? Just a thought, doesn't seem impossible...and you can sleep at Minnreg and don't have to pay for a room. Would have to ask Mike but that doesn't seem impossible does it?
