Although there are indeed advantages to holding the track event on the weekend - they include the ability to draw not only paying students, but also instructors - there are also some significant disadvantages to doing so:reducing the attendance of the social portion of the event by pushing it to weekdayslimited (often none) availability of top tracks for weekend dateshigher rental rates of tracks for weekend datesSince its inception, NSXPO has always had a social portion and a track portion. In the past, we've tried it both ways, with the track portion on the weekend and social during the week, and vice versa. Whichever portion of the event (social or track) takes place on the weekend always benefits from greater attendance, and this works to the detriment of the portion during the week. In recent years the event committees have preferred schedules with the track event during the week. There's no reason any particular committee couldn't hold the track event over the weekend, if they can secure (and afford) weekend dates from the track, but they would also need to consider the substantial negative impact on attendance on the social portion of the event by moving it to the weekdays.Also, rather than combine our event with another club, it might make more sense to consider collaborating with a driving school, such as one that has a lot of HPDE events in the Southeast including VIR.
