As Nelson said, insurance has nothing to do with the limits (just wanted to reinforce that point) at ANY level Time Trials event. As for contacting other organizations, I'm not sure who. As far as I know, NO time trials type events in the country have the entry levels we do. Mt. Washington and Pike's Peak are up there, but their event format is COMPLETELY different (can you say ONE timed run?). Nost other flat track events around the country would pee themselves if they had even the enrollment we got at Jefferson this year.Mwilson wrote: I realize that the insurance is the big problem but I wonder if any of the other Hillclimbs throughout the U.S. have this problem. Maybe we could contact another organization and find out how they handle the over flow problem. Just a thought.
I like the fact that now when we go to events, we don't talk about the 100-150 car fields of years' past. We talk about 10 years ago when I started when we had 32 entries at Pagoda and got 18 timed runs!
While I agree that we don't want to turn newcomers (not Don) away, I think that if we start having limited entries it will become second nature to tell people to (GASP) ENTER EARLY! Don't forget, there's always a wait list if necessary, and we always seem to have some attrition...
Which problem do we want to have?
