The events are to long i would say. I think shortening to 3 days and running 7 min heats is a good idea. Also eliminates the fastest drivers are the ones who can do a 10 min heat without fueling, if we shorten to 7 minutes means the fastest guys in qualifying are the actual fastest around the track as most engines can go 7 minutes.
Shortening events will attract more interstate drivers i think instead of a state title only consisting of people from that actual state lol.
Which is better for the sport.

I agree with Matt/Jarred... The events are too long... i think the sooner we shorten these meets the better off the sport/hobby will be! I am all for 7min qualifiers! it takes out that element of chance... Everyone should be able to make 7 mins...
Think of it this way, your pitman fuels your car before the start and can then go about HIS business of prepping for his race. Not everyone has a dedicated pitman who doesn't race!!
Something needs to be done and quickly! i'd hate to see it get to a point where state events end up being just large club races!
