Fee should be 30 % less with 30 % less track time.

This is Wrong .Polls showed 9 out of 10 people want 90 min enduro.

They have "fixed" A PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT EXIST.

 

Bummer. They asked for input, I emailed against. People posted here, voiced their opinion, polls were run, almost all against, and still they took away the 90 min enduro? aka 20% of the track time for the weekend?...from PCA: "changing Sunday’s race schedule in an effort to allow more participation in the Enduros." Sad!

 

If you have ever complained that you want to go home early on a Sunday this is your fault. The idea of ending early on Sunday is to induce more people to sign up.

If the car count remains the same or is lower the experiment is a failure and hopefully we resume 90 minutes enduros next year. This was billed as an "experiment" and not necessarily a permanent change.

 

fact check, it more like 11% reduction in track time

4x20 mins practices on Friday
20 min warmup and 2 30 min sprints on Sat
20 min warmup and 90 min enduro on Sunday

Would have been 270 mins

 

fair point. also there are 3 practice sessions and the last grids sprint one, plus “fun race” for rookies...anyway FAKE NEWS!!

 

So if i dont do the enduro i can go home saturday night.....


Real bummer......

 

Out.

 

It's a silly decision IMHO. I like racing real Enduros. Let's hope for a real Enduro next year.

 

All that time to prepare the car and drive to the event and you get a sprint just a bit longer. Enough to break a sweat. For me the enduro was the highlight of the weekend. Aren't we just talking about longer than 90 minute enduros? For a reason.

But, two sides

while i disagree I had a long talk with Pete some months ago. It's an experiment.

You have no vote if you don't speak up.

 

I totally agree. I'm always sorry it's over after 90 min and looking through past polls, people always overwhelmingly vote for longer enduros. I understand that many of the people not voting (crews, PCA staff, volunteers, etc.) will benefit. The glen is a drive from major airports and most have day jobs and lives that they need to get back to. I get it but it still sucks for me, it's my favorite single race of the year. Am I willing to skip the enduro this year to make a point though? Probably not. Sixty min is better then nothing but it makes hanging around for Sunday less worth it.

 

So, I did speak with Mr Temper , to voice my opinion . Anyone in favor of 90 should call him also.

I learned from Jim Morgan ,the Majority of the responses from the initial email he sent favored 60 min .....fyi
