On a positive note: nearly 95 racers already signed up in less than 24 hours ...

...
As if the boneyard there doesn't get filled enough already, a sprint race on the first day. .... I guess in the words of Iverson... we're talking about practice, it's just practice, who needs practice....
How 'bout let's all try our hand at the edge of that new 13/13 thingy, and then be guaranteed if we get one that we'll have to sign up for races afterwards, and PCA can guarantee increased attendance. But the enduro has to be shortened because you know, it's Sunday, gotta get home early. We've lost our excitement for racing already...we ran out of tires, two sets are corded and flat-spotted, and we didn't have enough time to get them at the tire tent, even if we had the cash.
Forgive my sarcasm but who makes all these "new" ideas up? I could say more but ....
#26 or hopefully at the Glen, #27

More racing time is ALWAYS good in my book. 100+ racers after 24 hours tells me a lot of races agree.

What is my motivation for a "race" which doesn't count for points, but grids me by best lap time for the next race, and that next race counts for points? My motivation will be to get the best time for the next race.
More racing is almost always a good thing, but this is a quali session disguised as a race.

And that's increasingly true the more cars there are in the class. I guarantee Sprint 1 will be a full on race in CUP. I'm leading both Championships and will still be going for the win. But I guess I'm a rookie ...

Hate to break it to you: most people don't care about points!

If I have a choice for grid position for the next points race, versus a win in a tarted up fun race, I will choose grid position for the points race.
I'll offer a chocolate chip cookie for the 911CUP who wins Sprint 1 so the winner can feel good about their effort.

In fact we had a schedule that had a fourth Sprint race on Sunday morning before the enduros, but the Stewards said no. Back in 2007 we had to fight to get a two Sprint Saturday Maybe next year we can have a four sprint plus enduro weekend

I love that there is a third race, but let's change the rules to make every race a points race. It's no more or less fair than the variation in bonus points a racer can earn based on class participation in any race weekend.
