Default POLL: Sharktoberfest 2013 Fun Run: Saturday PM, or Sunday AM?

In the interest of maximizing turnout for the fun-run this year, A) it'll be less of a marathon course, and B) we can either have it Saturday starting around 2:30 or 3, or Sunday morning at 9. I am agnostic, but want a show of hands as to who prefers which day.

A long time ago Rob, it would have needed to be at 7am on Sunday morning to get any real speed.

Of course, we would "lose" some cars on those runs. Either through mechanical attrition or we would actually "Lose" the car - off the side of a hill, down the mountain, over the cliff, etc.

Sunday morning is our vote-- less traffic, and less hectic.

That's what we did last year, except the fun run was cancelled.

Bummer, I was excited to see what the sister-in-laws Sebring could do

Seems like a lot of people have made plans to do other things than attend the full SF event. I'm not innocent either. I generally head out towards home early on Sunday. If the route happens to go my direction, I would do the fun run, but it's been years since that last happened. I could do Saturday afternoon/evening.

I wont be doing a fun run Saturday or Sunday, I don't command the skills on a manual tran to do it yet (hence I will be coming early morning to avoid people, and leaving at night to avoid traffic)
