I've stridently said that it was my opinion SARRC would not consider a 3 day. That may not be the case after getting some further info from our RE. But it would help if the first day was optional, and if we could do something to ease the burden on workers.[/b]
Jeff,

It was a 3-day event at least one year and paid SARRC points. The volunteer officials would bear the brunt of the hardship for the extra day. Minimum staffing of 2 flaggers/staffed station with stations 1,3,4,5,6a,9,10,11, BF, 14, 15, 17 (This map) gives 24 flaggers, plus S/F. tech, pit, grid, EV is a track function (correct?), T&S, Registration, Stewards... guestimate 50 vols total.

Heck, I'd take a flagger out to dinner if they were there on Friday.

I think Charlie has a point - this is a big event. Keeping it to two days is like trying to cram a 190lb women into a size 6 dress. Everything squeezes into it, but god help us if a seam lets go. With a 3-day event, things are little.... roomier.
