Hi everyone,
Although I've been out of the loop for a while with job stuff (almost done now!), the four of us admins have been discussing the gradual decline in driver numbers racing on a Friday night for a while now. Whilst we are all in agreement that we would like to continue with the league, there comes a point where the numbers become so low, that there's not much point in carrying on. To that end, we are going to be reviewing everything we do over the next few weeks in an effort to make things as good as they can be and encourage maximum attendance at race night.
First up for discussion is Race Night Timings. We can keep things how they are now, delay by 30 minutes or delay by 1 hour. Please vote and leave any comments below. Thanks.

I haven’t voted (yet) due to clarity. Didn’t want to commit to one specific time when I’m more than happy to go with stay the same, half hour later, one hour etc. Whatever decision encourages the most participants I’ll happily vote for that, so probably leave it till the end.

I have voted for putting back one hour to allow time to get home and eat before logging on as I can’t currently do that with the time as it is.

Doesn't make a lot of difference to me so I will not vote.

1 hour delay makes for a late finish. Can we dump practice and start quali at 8, for 20 mins. If people want to practice they can do that any time.

Remember Qualifying is an open session, so drivers are free to join throughout. I only add practice to help iron out any server issues and add some time for those that don't get any time in the week.
My own opinion is that I finish late anyway on Friday night with the current format, so I don't generally do anything afterwards. However, I am always in more of a rush to get the server setup and started at this time. By shifting the race start time back it means I can eat before and if working away it increases the chances of me participating. I was concerned over the number of us that couldn't make a Friday night due to working late or travelling back from work. I'm hoping that a later start time will allow more of us to participate.

I am happy to go with the general concensus. If I can’t make a Friday it is usually because I am traveling or have guests. Neither of these are affected by timing.

I've voted to remain the same, two reasons... Sometimes it's late when we finish - restarts etc SWMBO sometimes gives me grief when we're late
