I kind of had in mind the two day races, in May and November. I agree that a first timer should spend a day relaxing and learning what it is like to drive, no record allowed But on two day races I was thinking the first day could be rookie qualification, and then Sunday could go for a record. While that may seem overly optimistic, my car has already gone 10-20 mph faster than six records in it's engine size on the books, and that was before tuning and obvious easy drag reduction (syn oil eng&trans, electric water pump, dry sump oil, correct header, etc and wrong gears.)
My feeling is that there aren't enough of these races, when you take into account the races that get cancelled, or are just poor days to race (weather), and the fact that I also drag race, and I have at least one conflict next year, and I need to drag race that day as I was the champ in my class last year. I will probably have another conflict with El Mirage when I make the division finals.
All that allowing a record run on the second day is doing is effectively giving another race day to a rookie, instead of the existing rule that states that a rookie is a rookie whether it is a one day race or two.
I'm just trying to speed things up a bit. I want to get accomplished what I can with the existing motor, and then I want to try two other engine sizes in the car, and I don't want this to take a decade.
