- How about some sunday practice hours for those of us who tend to kinda wake up too late to make it to church. maybe give it a try for a few weeks to see how big the crowds will be
You could stick the football games on the big screen. Not this Sunday or next Sunday but we can give a try soon . | |

- I have to agree that the bills need to be paid and as many others I am also on a budget.
I would prefer to marshall myself instead of paying and at the same time I know that the time used marshalling can be used to tune and chit chat with the offer. Thing is I am driving a much more gas gulping vehicle and money goes by fast. I need to start working, again.
To sum it up, I agree with Robert, have 2 minutes between each heat and main for racers to get their cars to the table and charger and get the next racers in position. 1 minute to see everybody is counting and a quick lap but start every 3 minutes without any mercy. It may take some difficulties but people get used to it and start being ready to do it that way. $20 and $10 is a lil bit high but probably even worth it, got to check it out, myself but going from the comments and opinions, it is worth it but I could not be there every time. A family or team discount is a great idea.
Maybe a year round pass would be a way to have it discount? Tough on the wallet once.
Just a thought. thanks for the input and I agree that this is hard on a wallet but I feel that the corner Marshalling for racers has always been a chore for the track and some racers that abuse the courtesy of Marshalling for fellow racers . That is not to say all do it but a few racers neglect this and make it hard on everyone ( they know who they are ). So I thought this might be a cure. Everyone says they will Marshall and most will do it willing but somehow it has always been a problem at small races . Just my opinion | |

I'm in for the semi. Yes, I did notice marshalling was an issue as well. I guess that's where the staff has a job to do and taking care of any issues sounds like they are doing they're job. Thanks for the track and. Working with the hobbyists. | |

Thanks guys for chiming in!! Yea we have to work on the Marshall's for sure.lol We will have a few training sessions with them and I promise to our racers that every race will get better !!! Our mission is for racers of all abilities to walk away from the track saying and having a good day at Speed World . I will be rethinking the costs for race fees and looking at every avenue to make it easier on your wallets !!!! Thanks for being a part of our racing family and putting up with our learning and growing pains!! What do you think about Friday nite racing ?? Several of you have mentioned this and I'm trying to see if that's better for most ..?? Chime in !! | |

| Whatever y'all decide. Then everyone will have to make it work. Depending on start times on Friday will be what determines for me. Not shot n the butt about 12 pm finish. or is it am. you know what i mean | |

| What about a Wednesday night race and a Saturday day race? Do a single qualifier and mains on Wednesday if there is X amount of vehicles. If there is less than X amount, maybe go ahead and do 2 qualifiers.
For some, getting away two days in a row for regular race days on a regular basis might be difficult. Also, if someone breaks on Friday - and wants to race on Saturday it might be difficult to locate parts in time. With a Wednesday then a Saturday, it gives people a couple days for a break and also time to locate parts if necessary.
Just an idea.. | |

| Mugen seiki , You are right and I have thought of that . At this point WE WILL STAY WITH SEPTEMBER RACE PROGRAM . But we are considering a few changes . Wednesday nite is one option and Friday nite is also in the mix . If we do Friday nite then Saturday would be practice only.
I am concerned for a nite race that we might loose some racers that can't stay out until 10:00- 11:00 pm due to work or kids.
Thanks alot for your input !! Again races this Saturday same as last race ... See you there! | |

| Just an idea... The Wednesday schedule may be better suited for Summer time.
Thanks again for all that you are doing. Had a great time Saturday. Prior to Saturday, The last time I raced an RC Car was in 1992 with the Minteer's in the Northeast and that was on-road at that.
Look forward to more races at this great new venue! | |

| I have a 2.4Ghz micro security cam that can be hooked up to a TV and see the onboard of the race. Just missing a screen for the receiver and it does not record on itself. | |

| Live RC broadcasts have been discussed and will happen eventually. Please understand that in order to have all the bells and whistles, we must all support the track. The single best way to do this is to come out and race and have fun! Then you will see improvements each time you come out. Promise | |

| $12 sounds great. Just so that I have this clear, it is $12 for every entry? If I race 4 classes my entry is $12 for every class? | |

| $12 is your total for racing any number of classes!! WOO HOO!!
hahaha I think there is an additional $5 or $10 per extra classes. But wish it was for all classes or something like that. Is there any discount if I bring an air compressor for everyone? And a TV for live onboard action? | |
