Our last race of the season is in two weeks and the greatest track of all time, Bathurst! While we all love this track, I expect turnout to continue to be fairly low. Lately we have only been getting about 12-13 guys showing up. As you know Bathurst is a longer course and cars easily get spread out, which can be someone boring (at least in my opinion). With that, I'm open to changing the race format from an endurance to possibly another format, but want to get folks opinion before it's decided. Please cast your vote (1 vote per driver please. If you aren't planning on racing, please don't vote). Thank you.
Your much respected and well loved Race Director,
J. Hawks

I vote for 3 sprints. Like you say, we may get spread out with a longer race.

Voted for 1 sprint and 1 intermediate.
Would like to see grid reversion for the intermediate.

While I'm not 100% sure I can even make this. I like the format we have been doing. I also like the idea of the reverse grid on the intermediate. One way to make sure we do not get too spread out is make the intermediate just long enough so that everyone HAS to make a pit stop. This would make it more interesting too. Jim

I voted for the 60 min. race, but would not mind the sprint + Inter either.

Voted for 1 sprint and 1 intermediate. Would like to see grid reversion for the intermediate. I would prefer to invert just the top 1/2 of the field otherwise we get a bunch of late braking as drivers try to get through the field on the first lap. There was a race earlier in the season (the one Jason missed) where I did this and it seemed to work well. |

The idea of reverse the grid for the intermediate is because it is a longer race, so drivers CAN take their time for make a move.
Grid reversion in a short sprint race really is dangerous.

Ok, we'll go with the sprint/intermediate format.
