Ahh shit will be in Bali.

[Brockas]

As a point of discussion, we're considering moving the cruise session to either the first thing in the morning, or the last part of the day.

This would mean the guys only doing fast laps can either sleep in a bit or go home early, and don't have to wait around for an hour during the middle of the day.

Opinions? Morning or afternoon cruise session?

[masTers]

Scouse maybe get in early this time?

Agree.

Either or i dont think matters too much. But 100% agree.

[sparksXT]

All paid, look forward to meeting some of you. Just to confirm, do passengers need to be AL members?

I think that's a great idea.
The decision on afternoon or morning is probably better made by the guys who come for the skids.

[skidkid]

Morning would be heaps smoother for skids. Cooler temps, gives the fast lap crew a chance to sleep in, and means that you don't have guys there for skids that get carried away in the fast lap section.

[ED40]

I personally like the cruise session where it is. Nice break up of the day and a good chance for the cars to get some rest, well some anyway...

Also a fan of this option, not bothered about which end of the day skids is at, either get a sleep in or don't have to drive home in the dark/dusk

[DISTRBD]

Keep it the way it is , aint broke so don't try n fix it


As for skid guys doing morning " sprint ' I suggest they all go out as a group so they wont hold up the "fast " cars ..

[Buckets]

Skids?

[boostnglxr]

I like that idea send the skid cars out as a group for fast laps if they are ok with that.

Yup Just responding to some feedback over the weekend, but also happy to keep it the way it is.

It's always our intention to send the slower guys out in a big group, was difficult due to space constraints on the weekend but it's definitely something we'll try to address for the next one.

[DISTRBD]

was difficult due to space constraints

Great problem to have though , maybe we could look at going 5-6 lanes ..

[2jzlux]

I know the dates are limited to what's available but is there any chance you could change them up a little next year?
I work week on week off and 2nd of December is the only supercruise that fallen on my days off and I used up all my holidays for racewars.
Keen for 2nd December though.

[Mike Hunt]

Last one I went to (#15) the track was fastest straight off then went away as the day went on.. But I like the idea of either early leave/late start.

[Rajvosa]

i think having the cruise section at the end of the day would be great. at least for me with two kids under 2 at home it helps heading home bit earlier than staying til the end.

also i know people keep saying there s plenty of track time but man i got out 3 or 4 times... my friend went out twice whole day. (not counting cruise section). we ended up leaving just after 3:30pm (yes i know 4:30pm is the end time) but there were still 20+ cars when we left lining up.. gonna miss couple of these as its just not worth driving down paying the fee/fuel (accomodation for some) and then getting out handful of times.

[Byah!]

hmmm were people cutting in on you? I managed to get out twice before my car died in the anus...and that was at about 11am I think....

Paul did mention at drivers brief it would go to 5 to allow more laps , My mate driving my car used 3/4 tank and they didn't do cruise sessions and left at 3.30 , he kept lining back up after every run and not parking up ...

[adrenalin]

I had 3 by time i called it quits ( just before cruise session ).

Prob would of got 6 in max had the car been running right.

I also think there was just way too many cars.

Also people lane jumping wouldnt have made it easy for Erin trying to figure out who to send out next.

To me its better to have people leaving having felt like they got ample time vs leaving thinking they didnt get enough time. Obviously understand you need to make money to keep these going. Just need to find a right balance.

Maybe limit of 55 drivers ?

[ED40]

How do you guys decide who goes in the fast or slow lane? Is it a minimum ET? Just to note it was pretty easy to jump between lanes last time i went, picking the shortest lane to get on the track quicker. Maybe enforcing this might help? Stick a 1 or 2 on the car when scrutineered?
In my experience relaxing a bit in the morning and letting everyone get it out of their system and by the end of the cruise session in the afternoon meant I have always had unlimited track time but then again I have never been to a sold out event!

[Sensible]

As events like these grow in numbers more control needs to be taken by organizers to stop thing like lane jumping, I wasn't at the event so this is just an observation from what has been said above

It is easy to control by putting a lane number on each car and only letting them out when that lane is running, if you miss your lane then too bad so sad.

In saying that drivers should be mindful that their pushing in is ruining the day for other and that could lead to other not coming back to the event.

Back when the Speedevent Series was running successfully without all the petty politics we would regularly get 5 runs with about 70 cars and still be done for about 3.30 to allow people ample time to get home in good light

[Rajvosa]

hmmm were people cutting in on you? I managed to get out twice before my car died in the anus...and that was at about 11am I think....

man not sure if they were cutting in front of me. i was in the 3rd line all the time as i wasnt under 55secs.

Sensible mentioned maybe putting lane number on each car. might help with keeping lines even and not having people going to shortest line etc..

i honestly dont wanna sound like a nag cos its a great event and i love the track and will be back for sure but standing around for most of the time just kills it for me

[Brockas]

We're going to limit this one to 50 cars.

We already have 10 entries, so I would suspect it'll reach capacity relatively quickly.

also i know people keep saying there s plenty of track time but man i got out 3 or 4 times... my friend went out twice whole day. (not counting cruise section). we ended up leaving just after 3:30pm (yes i know 4:30pm is the end time) but there were still 20+ cars when we left lining up..

This is what we try hard to avoid, and I'm keen to know if you kept lining up straight away after every session out or had a 10/15 min break before lining up again?

The people I spoke to all got 4/5 sessions in the morning, and another 6/7 sessions in the afternoon if they stayed until the end. This is usually plenty for everyone's tyres / brakes / fuel, and what we try to aim for each event.

While I didn't see a massive issue with lane jumping on the day, the numbers on the cars is a good idea.

The only issue is the lanes are segregated into slowest to fastest, and we recommend people going from slower lanes into faster lanes if they keep catching people.
