Can someone try and get a rough ballpark on how late the races go on Thursday night. I'll be leaving after work Thursday with a 6 hour drive. Be nice to get in that night and maybe get a pass or two in.

I think the thursday night deal is similar to what they do here in Cinti at Edgewater. Arm drop/street style racing but no time slips or at least nothing on the board. They started doing this last year locally and from what I heard, its turned out to be a big weekly event, I never made it down to one. I would think it would go until 10:30 or 11?? maybe even later??

Maybe the answer is dropping the Q16 program and going back to our original plan of just having a Pro class and a Super Pro class?

By the way, I hate the fact that this thread has a negative name attached to it... "not what I expected". When you invest 30-40 hours a week on a volunteer basis doing something good for the hobby, then see a negative connotation like that it's dis-heartening. I know we are driving positive discussion but on the surface it looks bad... how many just read the title, shake thier head and think, here they go again?

BTW Paul, I'm probably going to put my car in the show also. Trying to figure out which day the GTOAA Popular and Concours judging is where I can send in my registration.

Here's a thought on the 'combo'.
Not sure what timing system the track uses, but they could use the 'stagger' setup for the race. This makes the 1st yellow light come on at different times. This makes the 'box' guy not use a cross-over. (all the other yellows are accurate) They could use the second yellow but would have to get used to that. (anticipation comes in)

Guys, realize, almost every box car will probably qualify or fall into the quick 16 race so they can do whatever they want electronics wise. The ones that don't will just race in the bigger all run race and the guys who still want to use their boxes will race each other until there is one left! That car will then race whoever is left from the no box side of the race in the final round. All the no box guys will run separate until there is one left. Frankly by then, the cream of the crop has risen in the no box ranks and generally those people have no problems racing a box car for the win! You can say this or that about box and no box cars but when all is said and done the number of no box cars for an event like this will out number the box cars by maybe as much as 4 to 1.

The same Q 8/16 cars will likely be there if the purse is the same ?? And don't forget a Trophy class. No idea how to get an accurate "vote" on what the racers want?? OGR

We're just trying to mix thing up a bit and maybe spark someones interest in actually racing instead of just making T&T passes.
