Just throwing out an idea or three Eldred... How about we change the format to a single say 40% race. May help reduce yellows by having longer opportunity for patience and by the time it's crunch time we are spead out a bit. I know every race is different but this may help get some green laps in. Maybe a second planned race another day? Last, how about we follow the cup schedule? Thanks E Mitch "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Huh John?? Maybe I'm missing something, but according to www.nascar.com the Winston Cup race at Lowes is **Sunday night** May 26th, starting at 5PM EDT. The Busch race is Saturday, starting at 1:00 EDT. Aren't the RAS races on Saturdays?

Whats with this obsession you Americans have to follow the WC schedule??? :-) *Everyone* seem to want to race the same track the cup's doing.... why is that?? Does it make you faster? or *the* race more interresting?? - I dont get this :-)) Anyway, I just wanted to air my support for longer races. I would also be interrested in a '1 race a day' thing... But I would also like to propose/ ask if it would be possible to move the race date to friday nights instead of saturdays... As Matt said here a few days ago... saturday is a 'social-life' day for some of us and it's impossible to fit both into the same bill. -- ed_ "Mitch_A" said: > Just throwing out an idea or three Eldred...

No obsession really, it just makes it more interesting as I watch the cup guys run practice or run happy hour it kinda gives me the wants to practice up on that track. It's really no big deal but would be cool. Beyond that though it makes it nice to know where we are racing any particular week w/o requiring a DM. Not sure where you are Ed but Friday night in Europe is Friday AM here. Not many "obsessed" Americans <g> can pull it off at that hour on a weekday, plus Eldred's boss may get quite the frown :).

The longer races, 1 race per day, and friday night races are taken under advisement. How many people would NOT be able to run if we made it say, 8pm Friday nights?

40% races don't spread out the field, because the constant yellow flags keep everyone together... :( Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett A friend of mine is involved in a fund-raiser walk-a-thon for research to cure breast cancer.
