I wish I had these problems. Our club is non-SCCA. Our average attendance
last year was 43 drivers. With the small number of drivers, everyone gets 6
timed runs and three practice runs. We had two events last year that we had
8 timed runs per person.
Now I don't want to eliminate our practice runs and 6 timed runs, but I'm
sure we could accommodate 75 drivers easily. With a new timing system
coming later in the year, we'll hopefully be prepared to accommodate even
more. Now if I could just find a cheap way to attract more drivers.
