Do you think the divisional doubles are a good idea?

I agree with Jeremy and Brett Speer, they eat up to much vacation time. If I was retired I would love them.

I like doubles. In D7 were are putting in some major miles to get to tracks. For me to run a full LODRS schedule to chase world points, I'd need to take 45 days off work...

If there is a double points meet available. a racer can still choose to just go to the second race. Like what was stated earlier, there are only two tracks in Div 5 that are hosting races. It's better to have the option to have the doubles available than none at all.

I all for the doubles especially here in Div 5. But I think the Thurs-Fri and Sat Sun makes sense and use Mon if needed to finish what cars are left. That way most people would only have to take 3 days off and not 4. Also the track owners are hoping the car count is higher with the doubles$

Bingo...best of both worlds. Just show up for one race. I always like two races for the cost of one road trip. And you get an extra weekend home is how I looked at it.

If it helps make it worthwhile for the tracks, that's great. Low car count on a single weekend and they be thinking about doing a small tire/no prep/radial event on that weekend next year.

At least in D3 racers only get 1 hit in qualifying in the second race. Sure makes it tough to compete with racers that have had multiple hits at the track for data. ( Min of 4 passes. Maximum of 10 passes)

Well I need to make as many hits as possible. Besides win or lose I love going down the track in my car.
So I am not a fan of only having one hit for the second race.

I just did the Norwalk double and there are clearly pros and cons to double divisionals with large car counts.

That being said,there is no way I would go to Norwalk twice or maybe even for just one race.It is truly incredible how much the tolls alone cost nowadays.I agree with an earlier post that the Alcohol cars made three qualifying runs (one run for each fan) and wasted a lot of time.

From a business standpoint,if there were two Divisionals at Norwalk on different dates,I don't think the track would be profitable. Lots of cars were there simply because it was a double.
