This is what I have been thinking:
a. Racers get 2 practice runs. One of our members records the ETs. We match the cars as close as possible. Say a 13.4 second car running against a 13.5 car. This way I do not race a 13.0 car or a 14.2 car. Cars will be evenly matched and more exciting to race and watch. The list will look like this:
17 - 14.2 seconds
16 - 14.1 seconds
15 - 13.7 seconds
14 - 13.6 seconds
13 - 13.2 seconds
12 - 13.1 seconds
There is plenty of room in the staging lanes for 30 cars.
or
b. Racers get 2 practice runs. The driver puts his best ET on the windshield. One of our members pairs the cars in the staging lanes for the next race. Again we race a 13.5 car against 13.6 car. The races with more competitive, exciting and fun to watch. This method is less structured and less time consuming than a.

not a bad idea dave, probably won't work every time but it could make for a good driver's race. I ran Zain last track day and we were dead even down teh strip. Pretty much whoever had the better reaction (me) won.

interesting idea, but it will prob be easier to just let people call eachother out and run whoever they want, it will be more relaxed that way......
not like it matters that much for me, I am sure Slim and I will get into it a bunch of times like we have previously.... and you can always just see what ppl are running and pair up with them

Also, looks like a great day for racing on Friday! High in the 80's and an overnight low of 66. Partly cloudy, 0% chance of rain.
Todd, all of these people should still be coming. Looks like both guys that were going to run are out though. George said he might run, if he can get ahold of some DR's, but it's not looking good. Although he might still come to watch.
Here's the list I have;
Adam(me) -Spec
Rachel(Fiancee) -Spec
Sean(friend of ours) -Spec
Megan(^'s wife) -Spec
Conner(^, ^^'s son) -Spec, cuz he's like 2.
