SCHEDULE / PRACTICE
NOTES
EXTENDED
PRACTICE ON THURSDAY NOW!!! THOSE
ARRIVING LATE WILL NOW HAVE MORE TIME TO GET PRACTICE BEFORE THE HEATS START
THURSDAY Check-In:
Check-in will begin Monday evening
near the pre-race pool party this year. You can also check-in Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday in the
registration area by the racetrack. You will be able
to purchase your handout items,
pick up your free stuff, get traction compound, buy shirts, etc.
Pit Setup Times / Reserved Pitting:
Manufacture row setup and reserved indoor pitting will begin
Monday night (times announced as race
nears).
E-mail
if you are interested in a reserved
indoor pit spot in the 'Florida Cracker' pit room.
Price is $25 and includes table & chair.
This is your pit for the whole race week. Daily Practice
Details: Tuesday:
There will be open practice, and timed-controlled class
practice sessions. Wednesday:
There will be open practice, timed-controlled class practice sessions, and one practice by your heat
race. Thursday-Sunday:
There will be open practice before the heats start each day and before the
mains. This
helps groove the track for racing. We'll have
some open practice after oval qualifying for oval cars at night
(Thu, Fri, Sat).
General Practice
Notes:
You must practice with the rules of your
class (i.e. 17.5 in 17.5 classes) and you must
be registered in that class. We need everyone's
help and cooperation. Open and Controlled practice will have racers
waiting in line. You can not 'cut' in front of the line. Exact
practice schedules will be at race. Open Practice:
This is for when time is limited, and allows
racers a chance to get on the track and turn some laps. These
are short 1-2 minute runs with 10 cars at a time
(not
separated by class). You can make a small change and run a few laps to
see how your car handles. Many cars and drivers can run in these time frames. Timed-Controlled
Class Practices:
This is where we schedule
times for each class to practice in. Controlled practice is set with the
same class order as the racing order, to simulate similar track conditions and
schedules. Schedule is based
on number of entries per class. 13.5 practices with 13.5, etc.
Practice times may vary depending on the line. Practice by Heats on Wed:
Heat races are setup and practice is
controlled based on the actual heat lineup. Heat #1 is practice #1, heat #23 is
practice #23, etc. Racers run with the drivers in their heat race.
After each practice, drivers marshal the next practice race. There's one
of these on Wed.
Qualifying
Notes: Qualifying is set up
random and heats are not stacked. We do stagger/Ifmar starts for both oval
& road heats. Each driver will be on their own race clock.
Racers must turn marshal each round. Slow cars must yield to faster
cars in qualifying. We take your best single qualifier to set the
mains (and to set the resorts). There are four qualifiers and one main
event. The top nine cars are locked into the A (because of the bump driver from the B).
Resorts:
We will have a resort after each round.
A resort is a new heat line-up based on
the previous qualifying results. Faster cars end up qualifying together.
Racers
voted for this.
Snowbird '1st Timer' Practice:
If you can not make practice Tue/Wed, we will work on allowing you to jump ahead of the line for practice on
Thu. We did this the last couple years and it worked well.
You must let us know
before the race if you want to be included in this.
COME MONDAY
Kicking off
Speed Week 2010:
Monday night we have hired the band
Lucky Penny
to play for us poolside! The Radisson is working up
some great drink and food specials, and sponsors will be in attendance for
a 'meet & greet' session. A good time for all ages. We will be
doing registration and check-in during the music and fun too!
Golf: Unfortunately we could not get
things worked out this year for the golf match on Monday. Mystic Dunes
will have a special during the week.
E-mail if interested.
'SATURDAY NIGHT
SPECIAL'
BUMP N' RUN SATURDAY
Race Your
Way into the A-Main: A
Snowbird race tradition that has now become the crowd favorite, for both road
and oval racing fans!
Here is How it Works:
The top nine drivers are locked into the A-main after 4 rounds of heats. Qualifiers 10th-19th will compete in the B-mains,
which will be run Saturday after the last heat race (B-main roads race after last road
race, B-main ovals race after last oval race). Winners of these
B-mains will be able to advance
into the A-mains, which are raced on Sunday. 10th qualifier gets the now famous 'BQ Screw' award, and
gets to wear the infamous Snowbird Mickey Mouse ears in their B-main. We
also have a nice "Bump N' Run" award to the racer that bumps and races their way into
the A-main!
