Virgina D-1 2day race,,Lets Do It Again

I don't like the idea of changing the current racing schedule. We paid $170.00 for a divisional race and were told that the weather was responsible for the schedule change. All the weather reports on saturday said there was a slight chance of a hit or miss shower on Sunday afternoon; no big deal. And it never happened.

One reason for a three day schedule is to provide day light racing. I'm not a big fan of racing at night. I didn't like the idea of everyone being chased off the grounds by 8:00 am the next morning when we were there and paid for a three day race. And one more thing, a two day race sure cuts down on time to visit with friends which is not good for the Sportsman racers.

If you guys really want a two day race you should ask for it to be a Saturday and Sunday race. You could work all week leave on Friday night. Tech on Saturday morning and then have three qualifing rounds with a fourth on Sunday morning and then most of us will be on our way home by 2:00 pm Sunday. You could tentatively take off from work on Monday in case the race did not finish on Sunday, but then you would be cool if it did finish on Sunday. That way you have no missed work and lost no income; which we all sure as hell need right now!
