Drago may love it, but I think it is one of the worst schedules you could have come up with.
SM is one of the most popular classes. Should draw lots of potential racers (customers for SCCA) to the premier track in the country for the premier race in the country. And you shove them into 1.5 days of a 3 day event?????
Even worse 3 of the 4 sessions are on Friday. How many spectators will be able to show up on Friday?
No thought was put into the competitor who may not be able to attend Friday. He does not even have the oportunity to qualify for the premier event.
This schedule tells me one thing, be prepared to take the car apart in the tech shed. That is the only reason I can see for this schedule.
Don't think I won't be there till the end, we are going for a win in group 10.

I agree, I knew instantly looking at this that it meant cars and boxes...
I see your point though on some of the other issues. All in all, I still like being one of the first groups Jim
