Why don't you have two races on Saturday, so that the people who can't take off work Friday can get two races in.

Pat,

F1 will probably see 40 to 50 entries (48 FB4). With qualifying and running A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H? mains it will be a long day as it is.

As Noose has said before "We are a victim of our own success".

Then switch Fri schedule with Sat schedule. This way you get two races on a Saturday when most people can make it.

Just look how The Flat Track Nats are scheduled.

Pat,
 
Can-Am and F1 need their own days. Each class is going to draw over 45 entrants. Even with the raceway opening at 7:30 AM, and tech beginning around 10 AM, we don't stop racing until pretty late at night. Plus those are the classes people care most about, so they are the ones that need to be on the weekend days.

John,
 
The F1 race on the King last year was run with no problems at all, with over 40+ entries.

I know a couple of people have booked local hotels.  The Super 8 in Mt. Laurel is pretty decent, as I stayed there a couple years ago on business, and it's right next to the Turnpike.  The Red Roof down there isn't too bad, and it's right behind a Bob Evans if you're like me and like a good breakfast. :)  I'm also looking into the Candlewood suites down the road a bit from those two, I can cook my own breakfast there. 

 

I have heard there is some type of event going on the same weekend, and some hotels are booked up for at least part of the weekend.

Timing may be tight, but in case I can swing it, what is the best airport to fly into?

Matt,

 

If you can get a flight into MacArthur you can save a whole bunch of time and energy.
