What do you say to a Time Attack on the track?

	So we've bene playing with ideas for the track and have come up with a good one. Instead of a sprint (which we do still think could work very well), we do a Time Attack. Time Attack works like this, first lap out isn't timed, second lap is timed, third lap is a slow down and stop lap. The idea is to time only the fastest lap, rather than the standing start lap. Obviously we'd do with one car at a time on track It means a bit more time on track for each person and I think could be fun for spectators. What say you??

	i think that could work, but only if it is gonna be the same price for the same number of runs as a sprint. however less people are gonna get a go.

	If anyone's going to get an award for slowest vehicle it'll be me. Get more flys on the rear window of my car.

	Sounds great, shouldn't even take up a lot more time, extra VFM and chance for memory. Even more upset I can't make it now.

	Sounds good to me! Any idea how much the track time is going to cost yet?

	pmsl, Most motorsport fans on forums argue about who's going to be the fastest. I love the way we're all arguing about who's going to be the slowest! Well let me tell u this! I won the slow bike race in Primary school sports day in 1993 pmsl

	I'm in for that. The 'weapon' will be coming out for a first run - not sure it'll stay in one piece for a second so that's all good ;D

	... and no breaking traction so we slow the drift boys down. Should make it interesting. Spin your wheels and 'YER ORF' ;D
