Mini Sprint feature length

10 June 2011 - 01:59 AM

I tried to find an email address so I wouldn't have to put this on a forum, but here it goes. Basically we destroyed a car at Lawrenceburg last Saturday and are planning on running Waynesfield for much of the rest of the season, aside from a few out of state races. Waiting on getting a frame, so we won't be racing till the AMSA race on the 19th at the earliest, but plan to be there the 26th and beyond if we get the car together soon enough. Anyways, us, along with many other racers feel like the 15 lap features are too short for how fast our cars are; with ~ 13 second laps, if the track is too fast in heat races or there is a big invert, you virtually have no chance of winning. Atleast with 20 laps you can have some shot from 10th - 15th to win the race. I'd understand keeping it at 15 laps if the mini sprints ran much slower lap times, but being the fastest class lap time wise, another 5 laps isn't going to add significantly to the length of the program. - Ryan Broughton
