How do you feel about the modified schedule at Gainesville?

Sportsman classes (except TA/) finishing on Saturday; with Sunday basically an-all-pro format. Remember, they were able to complete eliminations in 17(!) different classes.

It was due to the incoming rain, so personally i thought it was a great idea. worked great for those still in too.

As Mike said it was due to incoming weather and not the first time Rich has made such changes. I think it was the fall race at Charlotte last year he got it down to the finals for Sunday only. Rich has always been proactive in modifying the schedule when it looks like racers may have to spend a day watching it rain.

Do you think that having Saturday finals for the lower Sportsmen classes at all national events would be better than facing having to pay for another night's lodging and crew expenses if you reach the semi's?

Don't know many people paying crew expenses in Stock and Super Stock. Call me old fashioned but racing on Sunday is what we sign-up for.
