I'd agree with Andy, 7pm would be a good time to start as it gives people more time to get there after work. I for one only finish work in Manchester City centre at 5:30 and at that time takes a good hour to make it to Bury so I'd imagine many of our racers would have a similar problem getting there for 6:30 if they work office hours.

During the coming months light isn't an issue in my opinion, it's been staying light til at least 9:30-10 o'clock over the last week so packing away shouldn't be an issue.

Realistically I don't imagine we will get more than 30 drivers regularly so that would be 3-4 heats so if we cut down the time between heats and rounds (or put it on auto) I'd say a round could be done in 30 mins so id say 3 rounds and final is easily possible before 9pm but to be honest we could easily race til 9:30 with the available light and have four rounds.
Obviously this can be changed if a lot more or less turn up but 3 rounds and a final is easily achievable.

To ease packing away/setting up we could either leave the track layout the same from the previous Sunday meeting so we can get straight on track to practice or leave the track out after the Wednesday night meeting for the following Sunday.

Just a thought,



Chris
