Actually the number of cars on course simultaneously has very little to do with how many cars can get through the event (obviously there are other factors such as how many cars get re-runs after a re

Of course I wasn't there, but if you can start cars every 20-25 seconds, the length of course doesn't make any difference to total time. Loops often *impede* you from hitting that range, because they

Yes, but the interval between car starts is dependent on the number of cars you can have on course at one time. If I can only have one on a 45 second course, its 45 seconds. If I can have 2, its 22.5

No, it isn't. The clocks can handle up to eight cars at once. If you're talking about safely starting cars due to course design issues (cars pointed at each other, etc.), that's true, but it has noth

I think Jason's point was that how quickly the event finishes is directly related to the interval between cars, and not on the course length or the number of cars on course. Barry's comment about add

Thats not what I was saying. The total time it takes to run the event depends on the start time between cars. The start time between cars depends on the overlap of the course (ie the number of cars o

It's the other way around. The number of cars on course is a function of the start interval and the length of the course. The start interval is a function only of safety margin between cars, and the

But it still depends on it. The overlap just depends on other things. To say that the number of cars you can run in one day is not dependent on the number of cars on course is wrong. The variable "nu

This is pretty much true. However, you have to add in downtime, like the midday course walkthrough, driver's meeting, worker changeovers, and any event stoppages (red flags, course cleanup after an e

Yes. No. Those two are not related in any practical way. It is dependent ONLY on the ability to overlap safely. If you had a course that allowed four cars, with the first five seconds from finishing

Except that time between starts is both what determines the pace of the event *and* the thing that you have direct control over. You get more cars on course by shortening the start interval, not the
