Default Good friday racing...who's up for an early start?

Hi all,

I will be running club without Pete and Dave on Friday 2nd April, and since it's a bank holiday thought that I'd go along early to get set up in good time so I can deal with the booking in good time as well.

I then got on to thinking that since I will be off work, a lot of others will be to, so we could actually go in super early and have some extra racing!

So, question is, if I was to open up early, who can get along early with me?

And if you can, how early would you be able to make it?

I'd need a couple of peeps to help with track build ideally, the reward being axtra track time and extra racing for anyone who can make it!

Just let me know and I'll figure out what works

Not sure on timings as yet, but for an idea, if we did 5 qualifying rounds (5 min race + 2 min gaps) and 2 finals (7 min race + 3 min gaps maybe?), aiming to finish racing at 11:00pm

If we have 5 heats of entry, based on those times we'd need to start racing at 6pm on the dot, and run to the clock the whole night!

People would need to keep on top of their charging mind you, with 2 min gaps it can be close to get a top up on charge all night...so earlier start or 1 less round might give us more breathing space

Don't take that as the plan...it's just a thought at the mo...but you can see the potential

And I think you guys should have separate logins...I can't tell if your older than me or not

can't we have 5 minute races and a more relaxed night?

Nothing winds me up more than rushing around like a loon on a club night, we are suposed to be the "chilled out" club, not the "come on, get on the line, the race is starting" club that we seem to be moving towards.
