We've been over this before and we don't have enough racers in Scotland to do 1 class per day.

Think of how many racers were there on Sunday. 5 heats. If you took 1 class away from that there would 24/25 cars. And that was a busy meeting.

Wouldn't work I'm afraid.
I assume John is wanting to expand the meeting to two days in order to attract more entries? As Paul has pointed out, more entries would be pretty much impossible to handle in the Hall at Grangemouth. I would say the capacity of that hall would be about 30 - 40 drivers. So another venue would have to be considered anyway. Without an increase in numbers a two day meeting isn't necessary.

If you then get an increase in numbers to justify the two day meeting the format could be either Oople or normal. It may just be me, but I still don't think the Oople format makes any sense at all. Even if you run both classes and especially if you only run one.
