    Last race of the year up here in the north east! Come out and play!

    JB, any chance of doubling up a bunch of groups and doubling our track time? this is a perfect chance for NER to go above and beyond and think of the consumer and give back by changing the schedule.

    Don't listen to those that say it can't be done... it can! One example is sticking miatas and STL with IT. An easy way to increase car counts in the group to create more racing and less "track day lapping" while doubling the track time

    Thanks for considering it,
    Stephen

    Aren't there enough Miata with IT as it is? I do NOT want to be in there with SM. In fact, that would be the tipping factor to head to the Glen.

    We have 22 in the IT group and 11 in the sm stl group. Even if we did a split start and got TWICE the track time you would still go to the Glen? I was thinking we would lose two double dippers but they would probably be happy since they are getting the same track time and saving money. The region doesn't really lose because it's only like $400 bucks in entry (unless you and a lot of others opt out) but as drivers we can get a ton more track time. Interesting discussion, I would love feedback from a lot of people! Even if your not going to Thompson fell free to post your thoughts.

    This is all theoretical speaking anyways,

    Combine groups 2 and 8 and have 10 open wheel cars in one race

    Combine Group 1 with group 5 and have the 4 SM cars run with the IT group

    We cant put big bore with any one UNLESS we start getting real creative and upset the apple cart with SRF and SSM SM2 STL STU E F HP GTL.

    That seems to be the best way to combine them. And what do we get in return? An hour in the timeline, and a whole lot of complaints from some drivers who are now feeling persecuted against because they do or do not drive, or want to drive with Miatas. Its the reality of it, Miatas are here to stay. But lets not forget one thing, Miatas dont crash cars. Miata Drivers Crash cars.

    In theory.........
