I don't think there are time shots on Friday for stock and ss. Why not run class on Friday with getting one run and possibly more if you advance during class ?

Can?t run class if you don?t make a run on Thursday is what I was told

It was not that way in the past - has to be a mistake - when the schedule was normal (Fri, Sat, Sun) and class was scheduled for Saturday, I showed up then and used the class run as the time trial -
It's hard for me to believe that's changed. It's a national open - there is no "official" qualifying - they generate qualifying sheets but they are for informational purposes... not used for pairings or a ladder.

I believe that now that there is no more class at national events and this will be our D1 race where class is being run with.Wallys and contigency, that there is more weight to it. It was stated that you can't run class at the Baby Gators if you don't make a qualifying run prior, and they are applying the same rules. The same happened at Indy this year. The only difference was they offered a clean up run at the end of class for a couple racers who hadn't made a qualifying run prior to cla ss. We were also told they are bringing in extra tech people to handle class this year at the Dutch, so we may see teardowns like I was picked at the Keystones last year.

Could someone please post the real schedule for the Dutch. Nothing wrong with the way it was run for many years. Parking on Wednesday, test and tune and record runs on Thursday, quailifying runs on Friday, Class for Stock and Super Stock on Saturday, and maybe first round, and eliminations on Sunday. Just think that you will lose division 2 and 3 racers.

One less day you have to pay staff if it doesn?t rain and you get everything done on Saturday, last year they ran a TT and class on Friday and I think got one round done or maybe two before it got pretty chilly out to run cars, they ran everything to completion on Saturday and we probably should have gone 1/8 mile at least in the .90 classes (not a fan of 1/8 mile but, it was sketchy R2 on) and looking at the long range forecast on accuweather it?s saying Fri-Sun nothing higher then 55 degrees with lows in the mid 30?s.

I like the old schedule but they always had trouble running more than one round of class.
