School's Out Regional - LRP

[dickita15]

Matt is right that once the supps are published changes can only be done by the chief steward with the consent of the Chairman of the event (also a steward). They are usually reluctant to making changes as it assumed that drivers read the supps and entered based on expectations of how the event would be run.
It is kind of a business 101 principle, set expectations, meet expectations.

Set expectations, EXCEED expectations.

As of 8AM 6/13/09

G1, Big Bore=9
G2, SM=29
G3, ITR,S,B=23
G4, SRF=10
G5, SSM, Small Bore=25
G6, Small Open=5
G7, ITA,7=21
G8, Big Open, SR=16

That highlighted four groups are 70% of the entries and get 50% of the track time. For gosh sake there is a 5 car run group! This must change. Either combine groups further (hard to do at LRP), have a restricted regional, or reward the run groups that are paying the freight with longer races; say 10 laps vs. 20 laps. You might lose some in the bottom 4, but you probably gain in the top 4.

I sure hope New England Region has 60 cars entered into the school.

I know they do not like it, but the small open wheel group just has to get merged. They have got to get their car counts up.
