Out of curiosity, why go with Chin. Their rates are astronomical.

They should take some of your time and give it to the racers. You guys pay more than us but I haven't really worked out the dollars per minute so see who's actually paying more. I know racers would really like more track time, especially come qualifying time. Would you give up 5 minutes here and there for cheaper entry fees?

yea, HPDE1/2 are pretty fucked as it is, you spend most of the time trying to find a clean lap only to be greated by the Green Flag. I don't think we need _more_ time in qualifying, if you cant get your best time in 3-4 laps you don't need to be out there.

Less cars, yes definitely. 4 laps in a field where your feet/car allotment is less than what's traveled in 1 second doesn't always allow for your "best time" when cars of varying speeds are present. More time just increases the chances you'll get a halfway clean lap. Just a thought and definitely OT to this thread.

At least I was helping them with the bump n' run. Or in evan's case, the 3 lap shoving (insert gay miata joke here).
