So it's no longer the Summer Shootout. It's now less than a normal race weekend. I usually get home around 2:00 AM and I still go to work the next day at 7:00 AM.......and I'm old as dirt.
Most of the CMC group wants this? A majority?

Send a note to Dave. The schedule hasn't been finalized, various topics are being discussed.
Don't send me any messages.
If you guys want 4 short races as normal, 4 is fine. The other groups felt differently.
When I am gone from Texas and someone else is running the show, get used to 2 races per weekend. That is pretty standard across all NASA regions.

I will gladly race in the charity race on Saturday if it means we’ll get a 4th race on Sunday.
I’m probably not the only one who feels this way.
It was hard for me to convince myself to miss a big event at work on that weekend, but if it's only three races, I might have to reconsider.
Really? That sucks.Originally Posted by nasa-rm
Please don't leave!
I agree. Please don't leave Dave. We have had four races for many years.
It's not something you should change for me but I'm betting 95% of the CMC guys would rather have four races even if they are shorter races. If our fourth race started at 2:00 PM we would still be finished sooner than normal.
Only two races per weekend would be the straw that broke my back.

3 races is all you get for NASA Nationals fwiw. And that's over 4 days of event, 1,000+ mi away, and a $500+ entry too. Just offering perspective
I also don't see the race groups changing from a 2 short and 1 long or 4 short race format anytime soon - we don't have enough DE people to take over that much of the schedule yet.

Any you can see how many AI/CMC guys from here attend...3 races is all you get for NASA Nationals fwiw. And that's over 4 days too. Just offering perspective

The last two years Hallett has been a Nationals format for CMC. The last race has been 40 or 45 minutes. I don't think many positions change in the last ten minutes.3 races is all you get for NASA Nationals fwiw. And that's over 4 days of event, 1,000+ mi away, and a $500+ entry too.
