A couple of us have been kicking around the following idea, INFORMALLY (region leadership is not involved), on SARRC/MARRS to try and address some of the legitimate scheduling concerns both sides have.

I'm told that moving the date away from Mother's Day is probably not a possibility. However, perhaps we can help both the guys who want a 3 day event (and an early exit on Sunday) and those locals who prefer a 2 day. How about (and this is rough) the following 3 day schedule:

1. Friday - totally optional. Practice in the morning, and qual in the afternoon.

2. Saturday. Qual in the morning. Participants use the best of their Saturday qual time or their Friday afternoon qual time for the race.

3. Sunday. Races only. Saturday qual time is used. Leave early.

Thoughts?
