Adesa, Saturdays and Schedules
Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2017 10:01 pm
Didn't want to hijack the existing thread for Event 10, but
Did we lose the Adesa location permanently? or just this year?
I actually pretty bummed that we aren't there this year--
Not because I think Adesa is better location, it isn't.-(BMS is only 20 min away and a much better lot)
But because Adesa events have usually been held on Saturdays
I realize the venue change was probably last minute, but ETR has so few Saturday events; I was looking forward to it.
The beginning of the season, I had the two Saturday events circled on my calendar.-- the May event at BMS and Adesa
I went to and participated in the BMS event despite the threat of rain and people flipping out over the fact that we ran the dragway parking lot instead of our usual lot.
I even ran the DragCross event despite the steeper entry fee and the ... lively... discussion over the dial in time and the 1.5 sec rule because it was on a Saturday.
I had a blast at both events and would love to run more, but family and church obligations eliminate most Sunday events.
Unfortunately, I will probably close the season with another club (CCR) despite the long drive.
I don't know the details of how the schedule is set, but perhaps having a few more Saturday events would attract new members/participants, and in turn grow the club.
I'm sure there are others who are unable to run Saturday events, but a little variety may be helpful.
CCR seems to attract good crowds for both their Saturday and Sunday events.
Not trying to create trouble, just an observation.
Good luck to everyone on the 24th and have fun.
