STF, you are a race fan ? That's what you are going to get today. Sure that's alot but what other choice is there ? Send some guys home and not run their class ? If JP does what the OSCAAR site says and runs only 1 heat with consi's it will be one great day of racing. He will save alot of time by only running the feature for the LM, Mod and 4Funs. If he starts the LLM at noon they should have their 4 heats done in 45 minutes. The Supers should only take 15 minutes. Give the Thunders an hour and the Minis an hour and a half. I think the LM will run first and they will need about an hour to get the 107 laps in. Consi's for the LLM, mini's and Thunders could be another hour and a half. The mods should take half an hour and the 4 funs 20 minutes. The supers should be done in 45 minutes For the Thunder, mini and LLM features it should be another hour each. That's me thinking out loud but that should be more than enough time. Add another hour for the BOBO driving that I'm sure will hold up the show and your at about midnight which is the curfew. The track crew will have to be on top of things all day but it can be done although a blown motor or two could end all that.
Oh, forgot about the Hurricanes. Run 15 laps and load'm.
STF, I wouldn't miss this one.
This place is like the Woodstock of racing in Ontario. Insane. A huge amount of cars from everywhere, I think every track in Ontario is fairly well represented.
The mud and the rain made it pretty awful getting about in the 4 cylinder and Thunder Car pits, but everyone seemed to be in fairly good spirits regardless... And I'm not talking about the post race activities, I left at 9pm and they hadn't called it yet. The rain would not give us a break at all...
I'm working in the morning (that's why we didn't go down with our team) so I hope someone can give us the report before Monday or Tuesday, because they have so much to complete tomorrow, I don't think it's going to happen. Regardless, I am taking holidays for this event next year...
They had a good 3 hours to race from 3 till 6 but practised. Then after the drivers meeting it poured all over again. At 8 30 we could hear cars on the track and were told by a couple of mini drivers that the hurricanes were getting ready to run and they were heading for their cars because the track was almost dry. Then it started pouring again. It was still pouring at 11 pm when we left. The whole place is a huge mud hole and packed solid. They said warm ups were at 10 am racing at noon. Hated to leave but have to go to Rockton fair demo.
Add another hour for the BOBO driving that I'm sure will hold up the show and your at about midnight which is the curfew.
BOBO driving? I'm not familiar with that term.
This is deffently gonna be some kinda amazing racing day. I agree it's going to get a bit long...and if the yellow flag keeps getting thrown every 2 sec ...it could make it frustrating for everyone.
If it goes preety smooth like slapdown's #'s (good estimating) that should finish it up about 10,11. and still leaves a bit of room for some more delays.
I hope they scrap the B features. sorry for the guys that don't make it in....but time could be a bit tight to be doing that. (if it was my choice..I would say the first guy that does not transfer threw the LCQ...gets the pay out of the B feature winner..IMO)
well going to be a good day..I'm pumped about it...woke up at 8:10 and was wide awake. leaving in about 2 hours ;D
