Before I bought the track last year, they had only had 20+ cars try to qualify a few times. We average 25 per race. With 2 qualifying rounds and an extra 10 pair total, it ads an hour to the qualfying show. We're doing everything we can to speed it up. We're having a meeting with the drivers to work on turn around times. Appreciate the feedback!
I know you guys will do what you can, i think you are doing a pretty good job now if you could just get the finals in a bit sooner and I like the idea of the extra & plain clothes officers with K/9's if you guys make it hard on the trouble makers maybe they'll stay away and i can get my neighbor and his teenage son to come with me some time. I have a question. Did I hear you state that you are extending to 1/4 mile?
The consolation race doesn't add time to the event actually. The cars need roughly 45minutes worth of cool off time. The other race allows the cars to cool and keep something going down the track.
in the past years (about 15) that I've been coming to the bigdog race before you took over most of the time the race was said and done by 9:30-10:00 pm, I've only been able to stay and see the finals once, I know I'm just one person but I'm sure other feel the same way or maybe I need to change my work schedule so I can sleep in on Fridays.
I think you guys should drop the consolation race (if you can't run with the bigdogs, stay on the porch/trailer)and just do the bigdog, people come and pay you $15 a pop and end up not seeing the finals because it takes to long to get it done and some people don't feel like staying until 11:00 at night then drive 45 minutes home.
