I would have to think this will end up being Sunday racing. How else will you get the car counts. I will miss my Saturday nites though. It is a lot of fun to set up camp for a Saturday nite and get out of the house. Sunday racing in the summer can be a little hot though. One thing us 4 cylinder guys have to think about though is if we will be part of the program or moved to a Wednesday night like had been mentioned in the past. 

I would of preferred to see more Sunday invitationals or at best one week a month of NO points and an invitational but it isn't my track. I can imagine that this will leave behind the slower cars as a guy running at the back of the pack can still end up in top 10 at then end of the year. For me I knew I wasn't in contention for the championship but instead I raced a buddy at the track for points. I was ahead of him mid season on and he closed out the season 4 points ahead of me in 5th place. That kind of fun will be gone.

wes didn't say anything last night about racing sundays so don't assume anything . also this is not something new , it has been done before and i believe it was wes who did it at sunset , so ask someone who raced there back in the time how it worked.  
we always hear guys saying they would like a week off here and there , so wouldn't this  type of racing suit them more ?   i heard some rumours that mosport was going to do the same thing and that a drivers meeting is going to held to discuss things any truth to this ?

they had a rule where you could take a planned week off and still get a certain amount of points and wes threw that rule out the window.

I believe this same thing was done at Sauble. When they were having to many issues with points, and it worked out nicely. I think they only did it 1-3 seasons. I remember hearing something about that.. Any Sauble guys able to fill us in?
