Just as a comparison, this is how USCA does it. First off, there are 3 run groups to chose from, novice, advanced and expert...you choose your group and state your case and they decide if you chose correctly.

Then each group goes out and runs one session each. As you are lining up in grid to start the next session, they line you up based on your last session's fastest lap time. Basically putting the faster of the run groups cars up front and the slower of the groups cars towards the rear.

This way one you are on the track the faster cars can take off and run with like kind cars while the slower cars don't hold anyone up.

It worked BRILLIANTLY...

Paying for track time only to be held up by slower cars lap after lap after lap SUCKS...been there, done that. I can count on one hand the number of times I had to wait out a couple of corners behind a slower car for a point by section in a full 5 session day and I think the only time I pointed anyone by me was when I was working on trying some different things that weren't really working well for me and I didn't want to hold anyone else up while trying them.

I found that we'd be lining up with cars that we could run with and have a blast every time out...SO much better than some of the SCCA and NASA track days I've been too.
