I have tried to clean up the R4/4 section a little. I have also locked my "informational" posts in an attempt to keep things more organized.

So please, if you have any questions or comments put them here. I will try and answer as quickly as I can.

Thanks!

Just read your R4 format post.

Although I don't care for qualifying...I have to admit that this format is a good compromise.

No one gets a free ride, and everyone has to 'race' twice to make the A-main.

QUESTION: Can you repost the motel listing? I can't seem to find my original...

Thanks...

I like it too Mike. Its as fair a way to seed the Semi's as any.

My only question is, in your example of 55 racers, being 5- 11 man, you only save up one heat over 7- 8 man racers. And I know you also add the time to gather up and set the new set of cars on the track, BUT Hershman, Jessica and helpers do it so quickly, it would not add much time at all. and you know as well as I do, how the A main racers whine about round robins! :laugh2: :laugh2:

But the new system is pretty darn good.............

Just a few questions: Swivel or rocker, chilled to what temp, French or Italian roast, and are they bringing their own equipment? :)

I started to post last years list but I noticed that the Motel 6 has recently been bulldozed flat and the Hometown Inn has closed. So now I am updating the list. Give me a couple of days. But Ron's link should work in the mean time.
