i've always wondered why we dont send the next group out on the heals of the previous group. say a 1 minute delay?

Something else to consider is the non-Toyo races are combined race groups.
We need to come up with something we can all work with or it will be done for us. Maybe not this year or next, but soon. It's better for us to come up with the changes as opposed to NASA.
This is the kind of brainstorming that yields results. Keep the ideas rolling
Yes! Like World of Outlaws if you have ever see them. No screw off time between races.Quote:

That is b/c Al paid the tow truck guy to take his sweet-ass time so the race would be shortened so he wouldn't overheat. :PQuote:

What I find more interesting is that 24 hours of Lemons will have TWO events in Texas this year and a 3rd at No Problem and has people coming in from both coasts and even Chicago... Overall they are having 10 events this year!!! How can that be? :oops:
I guess the difference between you and I is that I see the car count going up.
As for Lemons races ... maybe we need to alter the rules to allow mock tank cannons, dinosaur fins and trick air brakes to increase car count.
:roll:
24 hours of Lemons is a novelty.
Maybe so, but there sure were a lot of spectators at the Lemons race.Quote:

You're welcome. :DQuote:

Good train of thought guys...and Michael's right, if we can pick up the pace on the warm up/cool down laps, it can be coordinated so that we get more flag to flag racing.
