| Either works for me, but prefer Saturdays. What about having a race every weekend just alternating Saturdays and Sundays. That way, one weekend will be on a Saturday and the next weekend will be a Sunday and so forth. That way, everyone can race on the best day suiting them. Some may race almost every weekend. If you find that Sunday is a much stronger day after several weeks, then you can eliminate Saturdays racing.

| Saturday night racing works for me. As for getting more racers, I think we need to do some exhibition racing in some high visibility events such as was done during the Homestead race, assuming a solution for make shift track can be found. I am not recommending tearing down the Homestead track and mobilizing it. There is a car show coming up at the Seminole Hard Rock Cafe. Venues like that will offer lots of young people that are really into cars. Also, Tower Shops has a car show every Friday night which is well attended. I know that both these venues are far, but if you get bit by the RC Racing bug, I am sure people will drive to Homestead. Hell, I live in Davie and drive down there. I know there has been mention of a novice class which I completely agree with, however, it should be positioned as a "run what you brung" class that way it doesn't matter what kind of car they have. As long as it is remote control they should be able to run it. Hopefully, they will upgrade to a better car once they get addicted to racing which is a completely different feeling from just running around the street as most people start off doing. What about working out a deal with the hobby stores where they can hang a banner at the track in return for pointing buyers of new cars to the track. Maybe they can give the customers a coupon for 2-4 weeks of free racing if they show up at the track. The idea is to get the local, South Florida, hobby stores involved. Just my 2 cents worth.

| I think we need some flyers. I come into contact with alot of people and end up writing the web site on a scrap piece of paper, which more than likely will not get anyone attention. A nice flyer, like the one for the off-road track, would be better.
