We do need to address the current schedule. But this is not going to be easy, it has been tweaked and fine tuned over year and years. There's a few things we all need to consider when it comes to making changes to the schedule, a few points to remember are:
-Ideally Everyone should get two races for their bike, one in the morning, one after lunch.
-Ideally a racer shouldn't have back to back races.
-Safety and closing speeds are something to consider when mixing grids. Like grids with expert and intermediate, or faster and slower bikes.
-Time is money, especially at Castrol. A grid with 5 bikes taking up a 20 minute time slot just doesn't pay the bills compared to a grid with 25 bikes that takes 15 minute time slot.
There is no easy answer to this. The current schedule we have just doesn't work. We do need to make some cuts, that being said we don't want to make too many. If you consider round 6 as our best round as far as staying on schedule goes we finished roughly a half hour early. Which isn't too bad. Round 4 was probably our worst round, red flag stoppage in all but 3 races that day, we cut a total of 14 laps from races and finished a half hour late. Finishing late we got away with, but in the future we may not be so lucky. Somewhere in the middle is probably best.
Finding a way to change the schedule is tough. Having to go look up race results and grid numbers, then cross reference that with technical rules, which bikes can run in which class, then look up what bikes were actually on the grids etc.
