I only like two day races if it’s something special. Extra payout or something. I don’t so much care for the Sat. And Sunday races or the two day holiday races if it’s just a normal points race. I’m not complaining mind you. I’m happy enough when there is a race on the schedule. The two day events just aren’t my favorite.
I just always enjoyed the Saturday night bracket program. Was always my favorite thing to do on a Saturday.

I prefer one day races, 2 classes same day. I don't mind 2 day. I wish they would run index race on Sat with bracket races. I get off work at 6:00 tough to get to track by 7 from Wentzville. I just hope we still have index races. I hate holiday points races. I own a boat and that's when we use it.

They are ok to me. I usually do better on the sunday races anyway. I dont like a 3 race weekend like last labor day weekend sat, sun, and mon. I spent a full work week there in 3 days, but also made 40 hours worth too

I prefer a one day race. just can't dedicate an entire weekend or even an entire day/night for that matter.

I am getting to where I like bigger events with 2-3 days of racing. Kind of like the PSCA or NMCA type events. Some special event stuff, index and some bracket racing all at one event. Seems to make good draw for both sides. Unless I just have it all wrong.
There should be a nice mix of both. Seems like Gateway tries to do this already.
I don't like them jammed into holiday weekends really. Seems like they should be reserved for other vacation type activities. Since other family members do exist and they don't all want to be at the track for the entire holiday. Pretty much count me out on the holiday all weekend long stuff.

Im sure Im in the minority on this but I like the 2 day races. I work every other weekend, wife works a lot of weekends, busy family life etc. Dont get a whole lot of free weekends so If I can get a weekend open and get to the track I like to get 2 days in. Last year I only made 3 races, was a long winter rebuild. But I hope to change that this coming year with a better working car.

I only ran it once last year, but had fun running the index as a change. I think a 5.00 index for the dragsters would be a great addition. I also wish the 7.0 index class was a .500 pro tree instead of the .400

On the two day races, I don't mind them if they start the 2nd day early and cut back time runs. Also not a fan of the two day races for the regular payouts, but I think that's all we are getting, so I will take it. The last couple years it seems as if almost every weekend they have a race for us on the dragstrip, it is a multi day race. For this reason, I have been looking at motorhomes and may get one for next season. I'm not a fan of the driving back and forth.

I dont think 5.0 is necessary, most dragsters that run super comp are close to 6.0 at the 1/8 already, and that way if none show up the 6.0 class has enough cars already, and if 20 show up it's just one more round. but IMO having a race night where over 50% of your clientele is excluded is bull$#it, there needs to be something a dragster can enter |

I like 2 days but not 3 days on holidays. Would like too see more special races with bigger purses to bring in some new faces but would have to be guaranteed purses or they wont travel here and scheduled ahead of time. Randy Drake memorial race is type of races i'm referring to. It would be nice if half the points weren't in April also. Just my 2 cents
I might even get in on the 6.0 index this year will see

Yes Tim is correct most 8.90 dragsters run close to 6.0s would definitely boost car count. Because by my math the index classes are a money looser in current format
