We are only making it known that we would like for any fleet of similar characteristics to start as a single group. We value the larger fleet racing and will not be asking for our own start. If other fleets do not know that this invitation is open, then they cannot petition to be a part of it.

The ultimate decision obviously rests with the PRO/RC. There have been times in the past, maybe not at Tradewinds, where many small starts occurred, time between races was very long, etc. I was hoping to avoid that as much as possible.

I am not asking that all times be taken, only times in a large combined fleet (potentially large, may not happen). If an OD/Formula fleet chooses to race on their own, then they do not need to be timed.

I apologize if it came across as being self serving.
