With 175 any estimates on turn around time
« on: January 10, 2012, 12:02:50 PM »
I think there was around 150 entries in Oct. and turn around was probably three hours on Sunday morning. Will Ohio be better or worse with the 175 cap and if better, why.

Where did you come up with the 175 as the cap on Ohio Entries ?

I sure hope the Cap is not that high !!!

Sabat,  Mike is correct... the cap of 175 is stated in the registration section on the ECTA website.

I still have a problem comprehinding as a result of multible strokes but that makes me more cautious before I speak, still no predictions on turn around time. I realize that I don't have the time or money invested that most of you guys do but I am concerned because I have a game plan that requires maybe five or six runs.

I don't think anyone can come even close to a answer due to the many things that can happen during any event. I would think two runs each day would be a good number maybe three on second day.

 At 175 entries you should still get 2 runs a day. That is my best guess. Just because of the new venue and all that, I would only expect more delays then usual.

The speculation is how long the turnaround time will be.

I agree with Joe Daly and Charles V that the average runs/hr at Maxton was 40.  I expect the run logistics to be the same as the short turnout is the same 1.4 mi while the long turnout is 1000ft shorter if 9000ft compared with 1.9 mi (10,032).  I would expect the drivers meeting to be much longer the first day but I would hope they will take that into account and start it at 0800 instead of 0830 so we can start at 0900. 

Now if those assumptions are true then the only potential problems will be all the newbies being ready to run as they get to the front of the line.  That is where those of us who have run for several yrs can truly help by seeing and advising newbies on any timing issues as soon as we notice them.

Then the "turnaround time" assuming the 175 entries fill, show up, and all are ready and in line (which will never happen in my experience) then I would assume the best time would be 4 hrs 22 min 30 sec...

40 Runs per hour, 175/40=4.375 hrs for a full cycle. 
14.5  Hours Total Run time. Saturday 9:00 to 6:00 with 30 min lunch break = 8.5 hours Sunday    8:00 to 2:00 = 6 hours
14.5x40=580 Total Runs, so if everyone was always in line then 3.3 runs/ entry.

So Garrell your plan will require 2 meets.  But so what?  Have fun.  Check out all the other peoples cool toys and fascinating solutions to speed problems.  Bring a small camera.

dr j has it right, but you won't see those numbers on the first meet. Second meet, sure. The first meet is going to have problems and they will get sorted out.f

In the mean time:
LISTEN at the drivers meeting.
Ask questions if necessary
Be READY to run at the line. If you are not ready allow the next guy to go.
TURN OFF as quickly as safely possible.
ABORT the run if you miss a shift or it is shooting ducks. You are just holding up the line if you continue.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

I should have payed attention when the math teacher told me some day kid your going to need this stuff!
 We should be able to make at least two runs at the first few meets. Im just thinking considering this will be new for everyone on the first pass I would think we will be required to drop down one license step for speed.

I will do my part, I was the first flagged off in Sept. after the rain delay and I think twelvth off on Sat. in Oct. I have trouble getting my helmut off and on therefore I keep it on as long as I am in line to avoid any delays. It appears to me  that there should be a mandatory for everyone rookie orientation meeting in as it would be everyone's first pass down the Ohio, Mile. And wow do I have fun , between myself and my brother in law we took over 100 pictures in Oct. Everyone other competitors and volunteer staff were more than helpful and several of you would come to me in line and ask what I ran on my last pass and offer suggestions as to how I might pick up some speed. I am looking forward to the April meet  and make mental plans every day as to how to improve on my performance and to make sure that I will conduct myself in such away that all others involved will approve.

Hey guys, a cap at 175 does not mean 175 entries....
Y'all need to chill out for a couple of months before you worry yourselves into stress induced malfugities.... you could end up with the papshalough or spanque. 
remember this is fun  :cheers:

My expectations are that it's a mile course with a shorter shut down. Nothing will change from the starting line to the end of the track. That is where the time is spent. Not waiting to get cars to the starting line. Having spent hours on the radio in the tower 99% of the time were not waiting for a number were waiting for the vehicle to clear the course. I can guarantee you that the ecta is doing everything possible and trying to think of every scenario possible to make sure they are very well prepared for this race to go as smoothly if not more smoothly than in the past.  Remember the fab four have been doing this for 15 years not 4. They know what it takes to do it right. There's four months till race day. Sit back relax and save the paranoia and conspiracy for the government.  :cheers:
