So while we're making improvement suggestiongs... I suggest we have the 1/10th and 1/8th races intermixed to make racing multiple classes of exclusively 1/8th scale or exclusively 1/10th scale easier.

Maybe something like this...

Sportsman Buggy
Pro Buggy
2WD SC
eBuggy
4WD SC
1/10 Buggy

Or you could reverse the order I suppose. This ordering would make it much easier for folks racing exclusively 1/8th scale classes or exclusively 1/10th scale 2wd classes.

It's tough with the way things are ordered now with back to back 1/10th scale classes followed by back to back 1/8th scale. I struggle to marshall, or find a marshall, then switch out my wheels and transponder on my 1/8th buggy.

My only suggestion is going from 7 min quals to 5 min. For instance 14 heats would be 70 mins instead of 98 mins. The 28 min difference = 84 mins total for quals. Meaning mains come sooner and the program can still have 3 quals and you get done sooner. Making everyone happy running 3 quals and a main. Just a suggestion on to save time and have fun.

I Love the 7 minute qualifiers. This is exclusive to ROCCK. We also start right at noon. We always get the qualifiers in and leave at a very decent hour. Yesterday we got started late processing 100 entries. I am sure we were also concerned about the weather. Those are my two cents.

I do agree about having the back to back races for 8th scale. It's not easy, but I love it.
