If I can make 2 suggestions........start every driver 30 seconds apart. I've witnessed a Parker G6 first hand at AWCC last year and he starts them every 30 seconds. It gets everyone involved and if the courses are long like they should be then it will make for a really good time with lots of passing and chaos. I've never seen people so amped and full of excitement as after a G6. One of the coolest things is passing and getting passed.
I'd suggest that you also run all classes together just to get the whole group going together, just makes for more fun all around. you could seperate the final time/scores by classes but for the fun factor I'd run them all together.
Just my 2 cents, and I'm gonna try hard to make this. G6 is by far the best time crawling that i've seen.

We tried 1 minute interval starts this past Sunday and we had some bottleneck issues on the first couple gates, but with the terrain at Coal creek and gate placement we could do the 30 second intervals "thumbsup"
We plan to run the 2 classes together ie: one batch of drivers will be a couple wraiths and a couple SCX10s on 1.9 and 2.2 "thumbsup"
the bottlenecking is what makes it awesome!! You gotta work your way through the pack!!! Plus...ya, because it's not riff raff the terrain allows for easier passing. People just have to know not to get upset if someone hits their car trying to get by them....if your in the way you better move over or expect some contact, that's part of the fun :mrgreen:
Do what you think is best, this is just my opinion. I know it'll be fun no matter what, I just like the idea of a whole group running each other down.

Howdy - would the type of course be too much for a cc base?
Still learning and new to all of this, so hopefully it's not a dumb question.
Thanks!

We're always open to everyones opinions, whatever we can do to make it fun and challenging ya know "thumbsup"
True, the natural terrain will be alot more consistent and not as gnarly as angular rip rap.

Not a dumb question at all. Coal Creek is a great comp spot and offers a ton of traction and it really all depends on how your truck is set up. I've seen some built CC's that just flat out work.
You're best bet would be to stop by the Scale points Party this Thursday evening at the shop. We'll be tallying scale points for everyone that can make it and help with any last minute tuning and set up "thumbsup"
Either way, come out to have some fun with some good people :mrgreen:
