2007 Tintmasters Street Legal Drags dates
-
May 12th
June 9th
July 7th
August 25th
September 16th
October 13th - one week AFTER Idrags closes their regular season
We have gone back and forth on times for the events (Sept and Oct should start earlier and will end earlier due to sunset), but in the past people didn't really start showing up til 12-2pm and then most quit before the sun even set.... So should we run 2-dark from May thru August, then noon-dark Sept-Oct? What is the input of you racers..

I think that opening the gates for tech at 10 or 11 like previous years is a good idea so that way everyone can get situated and get more runs inWhat has happened in the past is 20-30 people come 10-11ish, then they hotlap until about 2pm, then 30-70 more come, then everyone is burnt out and quitting before they are even told the track is closed. So when everyone is running from 11-6ish, they are running during the hottest time of the day, and that can happen again if it needs too, but I thought I would through in the idea of like 1-2pm - dark, and actually have people stay until then.... This can also make it easier for people from Minneapolis or Grand Forks or Winnipeg to make it down.... Just a suggestion, and if it isn't warranted, then we will keep the times the same!
Thoughts?

I think part of the problem is that ID, is exactly that....ID. They always start late and are never on time. Even at the street legals, tech starts late, then the track isn't ready when people are teched. So, the earlier we start, the more we actually get to race.

I personally don't have a problem with when ever it start or ends. But the more time the better, and more time when it isn't really hot out(like jason stated) the better.
Thanks for the awsome line up of events! It will be even better now that my car has some power!

I think this year may prove to be the best, over the past 4 years. Only time will tell I guess....
So what I am gathering thus far is that people would prefer to tech from say 10-12p with racing from 12p to dark? Anybody have a valid argument AGAINST that plan?
