Well hey, appreciate it was considered, that was cool.
Did not realize A group was "uncompetitive" - probably because I'm slow!
I wouldn't have suggested a parade lap for "group 2", too many cars at Tucson events (though less than Phx, I think), just as noted above.
Skip fun runs - what, are you nuts? True enough; from the time perspective, thought of it as more of a little time bonus in the heat of summer, 20 minutes less baking type of thing. During the cooler months, devil may care from the time perspective.
Heard on the timing lights, that is an offset to delay during competition, for sure.
Once again, appreciate y'all taking the time to not only consider but to post up the reply here. I'd like to get out there more consistently, help a bit with activities and such, see if I can get my act together in the coming year.
Cheers.
Bob.
