We used to run Brackets , 3 index classes and one heads up class every weekend. The races were running until about 10 or 11 so Debbie and Jim didn't get out of there until midnight - THEY DON"T want that, so they started earlier and cut the # of classes and the # of entries in each class! Now they are complaining NOT ENOUGH ENTRIES!
You cant have your cake and eat it to!!

You could start at 2 like now and run the classes like before IF it started on time and the director didn't goof off and have a long break before/after Brackets and before the heads up class.

When Chris was there We used to run 5 classes with always over 100 in Bracket and usually 20 or more in each of the other classes and start at 6 and still be done before midnight! Chris paid one of the racers to run the races and not play around in the booth.
So 6+ hours approx - if we started at 2 and ran it in 6+ hours that would be done at 8 or 9 which is approx when we finish now!

Just my 2 cents worth
