No need to bash, It must be hard on everybody Track personal, racers and fans alike to run so late. Cutting open comp in 1/2 is probably not a good financial move for Milan,
I really think it's as simple as starting earlier. Open gates at 9:00 am and start event at 12:00.
Advantages:
1. Well the obvious we will be done by 12:00am like we used too.
2. The same fans that get off work and get there at 6pm will catch the best racing and stick around for the final rounds.
3. It will give Milan staff more time to be prepared.... this is after all their money night.
4. For safety reasons we won't be running on the track during the wee hours of the morning Dew/Cold. (this one should be #1)
Disadvantages:
1.Racers that can't get off work till 4-5 pm, I would guess this is a small amount and mostly OC guys, seems these guys have bracket cars and should only need 1 or 2 qualifiers
anyway, this is heads up night and the fans pay extra on this night to see Heads up cars. I myself schedule all races I plan on attending with my employer earlier in the year.
2, Milan would have to pay the staff 3 hours more this isn't financially advantageous for Milan and would be just to make the program better for all, seems like a small
cost relative the size of the event.
Out of town events with this many cars usually takes 2 days why would Milan be any different. In the long run this would be best for the program and everybody involved
Hopefully this will be considered for the remainder of the season otherwise the Sept and October races will be unsafe to run final rounds and fans will be long gone due to the cold
Weather.
