LOL it's usually Mark or John.

I'm sure they'd be happy to get on your radio and talk dirty to you at the next event, too!

Too bad you can't run a Hummer for the first lap and then switch cars.

My wife knows she married a geek but I'm pretty sure I couldn't convince her to help me with that. Though I'm not sure how that would PREVENT me from causing a giant pile up at the start of the race.

Wait... what kind of Hummer were YOU talking about?

Does the session start at 8:30 with an 80 minute practice? I'm afraid i'm out if that's the case, that puts race start after 10 PM EST, just too late for me, sorry. I had it in my head we would be racing around 8:00 EST... A 10 minute practice, 10 minute qual, then race would be doable, but almost 1.5 hours of practice kills it for me.

Agreed... can't do 90 min of practice. I need my beauty sleep (bed by 10:00 or I get cranky... or shall I say crankier)

I thought we were starting at 8. 8:30 start with 80min practice is too late for me too.

I get up at 5:30.

The session does start at 6:30 mountain time (8:30 eastern I think) as requested by your eastern brothers. We can push it earlier again if you guys want and the guys on the west coast are ok with starting a bit earlier. This week I'll leave it as is, but next week do we want it half an hour earlier or back to 5:30 mountain (7:30 eastern)? Votes again please.

Don't change it for me, if the consensus is to race after 9:30 EST so be it.. I want to be done by 9ish so I think that's too early for most. I'll just do the Sunday practices and pick up races I guess.

I would vote for 8:00 EST. I'll try it this week and see how it goes.

Is the 80 min of practice necessary? It's the finish time that's the issue. Anyone can test at the tracks any time they want.

Thanks for checking Justin.

We can do what ever will get the most people into the sessions. Last time we raced there was a lot of people who wanted it later because they barely squeaked into the session before qualifying ended. If that has changed, then we can adapt. I don't care because I'm in the middle, but you coastal people are hard to please.
