Racing this Thursday 4th August
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 12:40 pm
Hi Guys,
FRC will be open for practice from 7:00 PM this Thursday, followed by qualifying and racing. For reasons explained below, I'd like to start qualifying at around 8:00 PM, followed by a short break then the first race. Those not ready will start at the back of the grid in the order that they bring their cars to it.
This event I'm trying something new. We normally run three races for three classes, a total of nine races. When we have one subgroup split as we have on the last two occasions, we run twelve races. For this event we're running one race per class for all our classes. In practical terms we most likely won't run the Lambo Series (unless I can get the cars ready in time, which is unlikely) and may or may not have enough cars for the Indy Car and Modified Production classes. Even without these we'll still have nine races as usual, just a single race per class. Everyone gets a chance to qualify but we're only taking the fastest six, no subgroups. Qualifying normally is done in three 2-minute sessions. This time it will be at least nine 2-minute sessions, so we've got to get it started early.
Here's the tentative race programme (in running order):
Ice Brigade: Kyle.
See you on the circuit...
