    Mine shows a 2 hour CMC race on Sat, I better get the pit crew ready!

    On a serious note, mine actually shows a 30m R1 for Thunder on sat, damnit that sucks if it's now 20m.

    Yep-our time on Saturday went from 25 warmup to 15 and the races from 30 & 25 to both 20. Then r3 goes from 25 to 20. Add it up and it's 30 minutes less track time.

    I while back to keep four races we lost morning practice/warm-up on Sunday and we went to 25 minute Toyo races and 20 minute inverts (if I remember this all correctly). I don't know when we lost the five minutes off the Toyo races. I did notice it at TWS.

    Basic marketing adjustment when evaluating supply and demand. HPDE events have plenty options in the market for the driver to choose from so time on track is increased to attract folks from the competition. Racing, not so much to choose from.....

    that's great and I get it. but if they want to charge me the same then I expect an equal amount of track time. If not then I will forgo the 20hr.round trip drive to Hallett and the 10hr, round trip to Dallas. I'm sure we wont be missed.

    Guys, I have already had long conversations with Will about this very same subject for the blitz group. While it took a few hours of my time, Will was listening. He is also learning the desires of his customers in this region and can only do so if you have reasonable conversations with him, and prove you are here to help him be successful. I highly suggest you carve out some time to speak with him either at ECR or by phone. He is very willing to take phone calls and has asked us all to CALL HIM with questions and not spiral yourselves into an internet tizzie discussing this on a forum.

    Call him. Reasonably discuss your concerns and I am sure you will see the value in doing so.
    Ah, fugg it.
