Thoughts for NvS

[SamC]

I originally posted something about this under solo maps but I am going to re-post here to hopefully get more traction and visibility.

With NvS only a month away I would like to propose that we work with Clay, Jerry, and/or John W8 to design a course that will work both forward and backwards. We then can have a Nationals type competition where we run one way in the morning with 3 runs, then reverse it in the afternoon for 3 more runs, then the best 2 scores are added to determine the winner. Thoughts?

Obviously we will need to get " The North" to get in on us with this, it does sound like fun. Sediv event with almost 100 entries was done about 5pm, so keep that in mind as well. C

The huntsville guys have already had one event like this earlier this year. It was well received and we got done at the normal time.

C - I think there were a lot of timing issues at SEDIV...I know Nick and I were out in the hot parking lot for like 2.5 hours in the afternoon. IMHO they also didn't do a great job of keeping cars rolling at the right intervals, which also contributed to the late finish.

I think it would be awesome to do it on both ends...I may bring it up on the TAC/TVR forums as well.

When are we doing NvS this year?

According to another thread the NvS was moved to have the South on October 19th (ALSCCA's next event) and the North the following weekend, October 26th.

I believe it was the North that didn't want to have them on the same weekend this year.

I don't think we really need north approval if we want do this format...at the end of the day all that matters for NvS is the usual raw and pax results. The SeDiv event was rallyx scoring, right? So not the same thing??

We could always do the Sam's idea in November if it is an issue NvS.

Don't think it was "didn't want to". I believe neither their nor our schedules were flexible enough to arrange for the usual one weekend event.

Maybe that was it, but I heard rumors they originally asked for it not to be the same weekend.

Mebbe so. I recall their schedule was firmly locked in so moving an event wasn't doable.

I heard rumors the South will be beatin' dahn and cry for mercy.

Not what I heard...

Rod is right. Changes at MFS make our schedule scrambled. Plus, we needed to have the event sanctioned by SCCA (10/26) so our secret weapon, Nick Reynolds, could participate.
