Alright guys here is the deal, when me and Scott were talking about doing this series it was between Monday nights and Wednesday nights. We just chose Monday nights well just because. No real reason at all. So with the nippon chapter running at the same time as us would anyone be interested in switching to Wednesday nights? I don't want to compete with them or take away any of their drivers or take away any of our drivers.

So please let me know which night would be better for you. Me and Scott are both cool with either night.

The Nippon series' last race is the same night as the Kansas race here, and then I think JR's going to switch to a non-open wheel mod although it will probably be the same night. Wednesday nights would be fine with me, especially since Tommy designed the mod and can't make Mondays. Only other thing I would like to see would be to have the races spread out a little bit more. Racing every single week is kind of tough for me. I'd like something like one race every other week, or racing two weeks in a row followed by an off week. I'm also afraid people might get a little burned out racing this mod so often - might give the series a longer life span to spread things out.

I'm ok with Wednesday, if necessary. I also agree that a week off every couple of races would be nice...

For right now we are going to keep the races every week. We will look into pacing the races out more for the future.

Certainly don't make any decisions on my account. While I'd like to enter a few, sure, but what's most important is what gets the largest crowd, on both day and time. If IDC isn't going to immediately start another FN series than that point is moot for Mondays. If IDC keeps running something in the 9:30est/6:30pst slot then that is just a potential split of drivers. The number of east-coasters vs west-coasters is a consideration.
Issues like that are much more important to a series. I'll survive :-)

For right now the series will stay at the current time. Sorry to those that are not able to make it because of the time but for me the time is pretty much set in stone because of my schedule. That may change in the future.
