Even though only licenced drivers were allowed to run the second day, almost ALL of the accidents happened that day DURING the time trial. There's just something about competition that pushes people a little too hard.

That being said, I'm a huge proponent of time trials. I love the competition, and accept the higher risk. Becuase we only have one day though, we may as well just stick to a driver's training event. Timing will inevidably eat up a good two hours or more. Also, I've seen some of you drive

The time trials relay race has already been replaced with open track time. There should be 2.5 to 3 hours of track time for everyone at this event!
