It's not unusual for us to get near/over 200 here in SanDiego. We have a
large lot but
also tend to do large courses so time and daylight become factors. We have
a 5:00pm
mandatory stop time at the venue we use (Quallcomm Stadium). I've wondered if
doing 2-day events, with half the classes running on Sat and half on Sun
might be a
possible answer. Anyone already done it (besides the Nats)? It seems a shame to
start thinking of limiting entries. By nature you will probably turn away
mostly
first-timers and end up losing them as future members.
This would change the cost/profit/entry fee equation somewhat, but a side
benefit
would be that spreading one event over two days, with fewer people per day,
would
make it less hectic at any given moment for the organizers, and, at least
for a while,
may permit something like 6 runs per car. I see some negatives to the idea,
but I
think they would be fairly minor compared to turning away eager new
participants.
