A lot of time could have been saved by initially making the seeding based on controlled practice and paid entries, and latecomers who arrive for Q1 in new heats.

Other than that the event was very well run with the schedule being strictly followed to the minute. Was very impressed with the logistics, except for one incident when I crashed and a marshal (he was wearing organizers shirt sitting in scrutineer area) walked towards my car in the middle of the track and just stood there and looked at it. Another marshal (the head scrutineer) had to run into the track to flip my car over. To tell you honestly, I was pretty pissed at that incident since my run should have hit almost 18 laps in FF if not for that incident. I think I lost around 15 seconds because of that. I can imagine a briefing of all track officials and volunteers would have helped.

Looking forward to 11.5 again and 1/12th next year!!!

Yes marshalling was not good. In one qualifier my TC was punted into the pit lane upside down only to see the marshall pick it up and walk under the drivers stand with me screaming at him to bring it back
