EPR Winter Series - Massed Starts?

[MattADH]

For our winter series, we are considering having massed starts instead of the usual staggered system.
Our thoughts behind this is that it is we don't race enough and learn racecraft, qualifying can be spiced up a little and marshals should be more attentive as they observe a group of cars passing through their section rather than one every second or so.

What are people's thoughts...

YES YES

We did it for the finals (all on 1 line) for the final at last Batley club meeting, well funny but mack sure there are a couple of marshals near by

I am happy to start this way. Why not eh????

We would have two lines (front and back) and during qualifying, you would have two front row starts and two from the rear.

It would be nice to hear from people who are for and against the idea so that we can achieve a balanced opinion before we make a decision...

I used to hate the mass line start because I always seemed to get a bad one but it still made it more fun so yeah lets go for it.

It's not like in round by round people let you go any way so lets make the whole thing one big race fest

You must not have seen this??? hahahaha

I think it will be good. More racing. We seem to spend so much time qualifying, and not much time racing, except for regionals of course.
So more head to head I think will help improve driving, and the 2 front row starts and 2 back row is a good idea.
I voyed YES, lets have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from what i remember from along time ago
we used to do mass starts,
then we went to staggered starts as people got more complex timing equipment,
everybody really prefered the staggered starts to the mass starts,
looking at how people have voted its going to be massed starts so should make for some intersting manouvers,
also better for the spectators,
