Charles, you are 100% correct, and it is up to us, to an extent, to make sure we do everything possible to keep the smooth flow in the lines. That said, I still believe anything over 120 entries starts to get on the edge of getting enough runs for the drive. If you do the math and everything goes perfect, no oil downs, no computer or printer failures, no issues with rescue, etc it gets tight. For us running MR-12 we also loose money on the fuel if we only make 3 runs. You can't leave it in the tank or you risk hurting the injectors. You can't use it at the next event as the seal on the 5 gallon can is broken. At $130-$150 for 5 gallons it is expensive brush burning gas.
I'm just a competitor and member of the ECTA. I'm sure they will come up with what is best. Will there be growing pains, no doubt about it. I admit I was spoiled at Maxton. I could take a couple of runs to get things dialed in and still have runs left to go for it. With limited runs I'll probably break more stuff by shortening the process. That's on me though.
We'll see everyone in Ohio and start the new ECTA adventure. Merry Christmas to everyone and may 2012 be safe and fast.
