RACES
305s at Eldora
Session opens at 6:30.
Qualifying at 7:00 pm
Evening Race
Track set to 20% for Qualifying and carries over.
After Qualifying there will be another Warm up session (for introductions and 4 wide only).
Drivers will be introduced one at a time in the order that they qualify. When your name is called, pull out of the pits at pace speed and circle the track to the front straight. Line up on an angle starting just before the start of Turn 1, closer to the inside fence (see the attached photo).
Once everyone is out on the track we will pause for a few photo ops and then the Bill Calder Pace Truck will lead everyone around the track at pace speed.
Start doubling up when instructed.
Next, the front rows (how many to be determined) will split with the inside car moving to the extreme inside and the outside car moving to the far outside leaving a large gap in the middle. When called upon, the back rows will drive up the middle until we are 4 wide. Keep a steady pace and stay even with the driver on your left.
On the next command the inside row will fall back one spot creating a missing man in honour of Bill.
We will do a couple of laps and then pull into the pits when instructed.
The session will then advance to the 30 lap feature.
