Hey All,
During the last Thunderhill round, it was announced we were not allowed to have a practice session prior to racing a class Saturday afternoon. We were informed we must pay for the all day Saturday practice.
Is it just me or is this not only crazy but dangerous?
I race FIII on Saturday along with three classes on Sunday. I don't need more than a single practice on Saturday (unless there was qualifying for grid positions). If I was going to do some bike setup, I would actually do it on a Friday practice if it existed.
This rule has me thinking about not racing on Saturdays next year and just showing up on Sunday to race to reduce my costs.
If the AFM's logic to produce more revenue with more paid practice, it will turn into a negative number for them because now, I won't show up at all and they won't receive my Saturday race entry.
What do you guys think?
