BTW, in all this fast guy talk I wanted to let other tracks know we race three qualifiers and one main race. Our qualifiers are 5 minutes long. We use a Lemans style start ( cars at an angle on the straight) with a heads up start. For the Main race, it's 8 minutes, and it's a side by side start, headsup.
For the qualifiers we line them up randomly.
For the main race, in side by side fashion we reverse the starting order with guys qualifying the fastest going to the back of the pack and the slower guys getting to start right up front. All of our racers really enjoy this kind of start for the mains.
Currently the tracks we race on are about 100x50ft and laptimes are between 12.8-13.8 for the fastest guys. One is asphalt outdoors the other is industrial concrete sparyed with VHT, indoors.
I mention all of this so others can see how we are running our racing programs and for them to be able to compare and contrast to their racing programs.
