Great question.  I don’t think we have ever had that one asked before.  The easy answer is no because we can not be sure that we will always have enough people competing so you won’t ever have to race against yourself.  If the turnout is good it should be no problem.  Its a great question to bring up with the club at our next meeting.  I do like your thinking.

Lance & Marty we will have this on the agenda for the June 25 meeting.  Lance that is a day for Modern Touring car (I forget if you have one) but come up to ATX anyway so we can see you!

My 2-cents ($2.84 in todays money) – you can Build and Race more than one car – But generally not on the Same day. It is a little confusing to competitors and marshalls, but as your experience should show will be most confusing to you – since for each race you would have to mentally adjust to the performance of the different cars and the related controller settings.  So, if it’s a day we only have 5 racers (our bare minimum) perhaps we could add the 2nd car under a 2nd racer name for another $5 fee.

However, that situation can be seen as a little unfair b/c one racer is having twice the fun and does not have time to marshall, so everyone else marshalls more than ‘their fair share’.

Again – we will add to agenda for June 25.

Lance – re the race control software – yes it randomizes as a suggestion, but Steve can over-ride it (we do that to have a specific person race first so they can leave early if they have a family obligation et al.)   So – if its allowed – and you do enter two cars – you can be setup to race different cars in different heats.  But more manipulation may be needed, depending on how many people are entered.

Least complicated solution – race different cars on different days.
