I&#8217;m not thinking about major rules changes, there&#8217;s another group that has been trying to work on that, and that has it&#8217;s own challenges. Instead, we are Alumni (well most of us) and we like to dream about the way things could be, so lets do that.<\/p>\n<p>So the question I pose to you is this:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>If there were something you could change about Raceday and how it&#8217;s being run right now, what would you do?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To get the ball rolling, I really enjoy exhibitions and I want to see more of them. So I&#8217;d add exhibitions between finals races which could give teams a little break between each heat, and the chance to get either rookie teams, or non- top 10 teams to roll on Day 2. To make this a bit easier scheduling wise, I&#8217;d extend possible race times to 3pm.<\/p>\n<p>This is your dream, no one can say no to your dream, so if someone tries to tell you it can&#8217;t happen, dream them as an annoying tiny dog and punt them over the fence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dreaming of the perfect Raceday A post over the summer?
