Cliff..
Just to let you know, There are a whole lot of people in the East coast
with jobs! So, the earlier the league starts the better. Second, why does
a league *have to* have people west of the original 13 states? Also
consider there are people out west that work the evening and graveyard
shifts. One GPL league I run in starts our drivers meeting at 3:30 pm with
practice starting at 4:pm. And there are a few west coasters in it. Also,
There's the European group. That time frame is a touch late but close
enough for them to consider it.
Not intended as a flame and I hope it doesn't come out that way but it does
play havoc with us on the east coast to have to wait till really late in the
day just to start the drivers meeting, let alone to race and then to have to
get up only 4 hours later to go to work. For *me* the best time of day to
start the race it self is about 6:30pm Anything later then that with a 100%
distance race and I can figure on completing the race well past my normal
sleeping hours. But that's just me.
(imo, anything less then 100% is a sprint race ;-)
