Run Groups

[Tony356993]

The system is very good the way it is currently. RTR has standards that are unmatched in other regions and that leads to well run events with real instruction.

If I want more track time, I run with other regions or outside of PCA. Green and blue students do not always have this option due to high demand.

DE is DE and RTR does a great job.

From a selfish point, I am looking forward to the advanced day at Thunderbolt.

Also from a selfish point, I'd like to have the option to stay at the track for the full day instead of leaving 90 minutes of track time unused. I understand that the volunteers for the club like to hit the road early sometimes and I repsect that position. As a non organizer of the event, I have no right to bitch but I wish there was a way this could be worked out.

I wonder if it is possible for one of the track folks (or exec) to each pick one event on the schedule each year to hang to the bitter end or allow another club member (non-exec) to be trained to handle the last 90 minutes of the day? Even if the run groups are thinned and combined, wouldn't you sometimes like to run an extra or extended session? There is no substitute for track time they say - so why give it away?

I repeat, I have no right to bitch and do not want to give the impression of bitching, just food for thought while it is 25 degrees outside.
