FYI, as someone who has experience in organising this kind of thing before I can tell the best days/nights don't change much over the years and in general this is just the way it is:
1) Sunday - Best night by far. Sunday day time is also reasonable and certainly the best day time slot. 2) Saturday - Saturday night is bad (family entertainment), Saturday day time can sometimes be a goer, but many are out shopping or with family activities, or sporting events. 3) Friday - Friday night is often "the night out", so attendances are not usually great. 4) Thursday - Thursday night is usually pretty good for racing. It's not friday night and it's not football night. 5) Wednesday - Usually poor turnout due to sporting fixtures (most notably football fixtures). 6) Tuesday - Same reason as thursday being good. 7) Monday - Monday night is a funny one. It should be on the face of it same as thursday or tuesday but isn't probably cause people raced on the previous day.
*Monday-Friday day times are rubbish because the majority of racers are at work.

Looks like I suggested a bad night for this Or, its our best chance of a podium (providing Paul doesn't join using a mouse). This Saturday is nice for me as I don't support Halloween but there's really no panic

It's also one of my very rare family-less nights so I'll be racing something!

Laguna and skippy is a great combo isn't it Not sure if the physics have been altered recently but, the skippy seems far happier being taken by the neck whereas I felt a rather "timid" approach (thats my attempt at super smooth) was fastest last time I tried it. Would like to run Saturday but would be easily placated if you said this combo was going to be in S1 Whats a good time to aim for?

I'm not at my PC's home so I can't race this weekend.
Is everybody else not racing the Vette and Indy car?

I'm doing 1.41s at the moment, hoping to get down to 1.40ish for the race. I'd imagine Brian and the Pauls would be in the 1.39s.

I don't know, what do people think about racing tonight? Given that it looks like we've got about 8-10 possible drivers which isn't really a decent field size at Laguna.
Maybe it's better to postpone it until Tuesday when we will probbaly get a decent turnout. I know there's a PnG race that day.
