How do you save time by running an 1/8.....? At MIR you still have to drive to the end to go up the return road,therefore you are going slower ! Just my guess,but I think it should have been postponed.

Wes, Robert,

Does anyone know if the Test n Tune will be 1/8 or 1/4 mile..
What are they waiting for, shows rain by 11 am...Also are they still going to try and run all the other stuff they had planned ??? They will be lucky if they get one race in !!!!! I don't know what weather map they are looking at...........Lets hope they get smart...

Will the ladder be the same for both races , if they dont have a second time run ?

herbjr · 04-13-2007, 11:22 AM

Generally they will do random pairings for second race if there is no time run.

Last year we ran both races on Sunday and they did random pairing for the 2nd race. The only problem I have with that is guys ducking and dodging in the staging lanes.
