Mikey Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Love running at Thompson, wonder if Champcar could make it a 2 day race. With entry list growing every year, it would seem to make sense. Just my 2 cents. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the difference with the car count? 14 hours one day twin sevens the weekend.What’s the difference with the car count? 14 hours one day twin sevens the weekend.

Mikey Posted September 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 My thought was with the extra cars, it would help pay for two day rental of track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aero Man Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Pretty sure that the track has some restrictions for when they can run. Late on Saturday night is allowed, past midnight, but they can't go early on Sunday morning. A race on Sunday would probably have to start at noon. It works well for the circle track guys but I've never seen racing on Sunday. Even when SCCA Majors goes there they go on Friday and Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking its the same number +- 2 or 3 teams that prefer one format to the next rather then somehow attract more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerheads Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Selfishly, we’d leave it as is. It’s only three hours from home. Leaving Friday morning and returning Saturday night leaves all day Sunday to replenish the Spousal Goodwill Reserve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it hard to get a full endurance race in starting that late. Dana 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
