bluesi92 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Hey all, I tried the search function to no avail. I see for Gimli events there are often two events on the same day - one on the skid pad and one on the track. I'm curious as to how this works. Thanks, Nick H.

Corey Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The morning/afternoon event is on the skid pad. (The old runway between the road course and the kart track) Then, once road racing is over, we have a second event on the road course. Two autocrosses in one day!

Shawn Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Yeah this is going to be a new thing that we are trying this year. We have done both on different years but not on the same day. I will be working on a schedule for the day this week and hope to have something posted next week. But my general plan (caveat: this might change) is that we will open gates at 10 for registration/car prep/course walks and start racing at noon and expect it to take until about 3 to complete the runs. We then will tear down the course. We will not have lunch break in-between runs like we do at St. Andrews, instead we will have a late lunch/early supper break between the skid pad and road course races. I will see if we can order in some pizza from a local restaurant to have delivered to the track around 4. Like we have done at St. Andrews we can sell a slice a (or two) and a drink for $5. When Road Race is done with the track around 4:30, will will setup and chalk the course. at 5:00-5:30ish gates open for registration/car prep/course walk (probably only have a single course walk unless you can jog/run it, and racing starting at 6:00-6:30 ish. The sun is out late but it will start to get a little dim by the time we get to the end. Again, I have to really sit down and make sure all of these times really work out. We might need more time in-between the races which means starting early but I think we should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
