What's your thought on consecutive events?

  1. The more in a row, the better to save travel expenses.

    2.3%
  2. Back to back events are ok in moderation (ie 4 out 6 weekends is bad)

    18.6%
  3. Back to back events should be avoided, spread out the schedule as much as possible

    76.7%
  4. I'll just race whenever they schedule them, makes no difference to me

    We did Seattle national event, Sonoma national event and Sonoma division for 3 weekends in a row. In one sense I like it but it's hard on the crew who also have families and work for a living. Some made it all of them while others couldn't do it. If I didn't have to work I'd do it every weekend.

    As a Crew memeber of a T/AD it really put a lot on us when you have them back to back I grind the Floater and when there back to back like they were this year it takes all of my time just grinding. When they have a National then the next week A divisional thats not to bad.

    I am not a fan of the back to back, most of us have regular jobs and do take the vacations days to go racing. When the events are spread out it really would be like hitting the racing lottery. Also with the back to back races when you get back to work on monday you really are a dead person behind the desk/shop. A few years ago I loved the Div 7 schedule, the past 2 years have not been the best. Oh well, I am looking forward to see the new schedule for div 7. Hope everyone that is coming out to Pomona will have a great time, I know I will.
