4/14 Practice question - second driver in the same car in the same run group

[LilBro]

Will both drivers get the same amount of runs as everybody else, or will the
two drivers sharing a car split the runs?

[A12]

You both get the same number of runs.

Umm, no, you split the runs. This is why the 2nd driver in the same run grp is $15, not full price.

[A12]

Is there not a 2 driver lane for practices?

Nevermind, I reread the flyer for this event threadstarter. According to this event, Bimota Guy is correct. Sorry for the confusion dude = ).

There are two types of "two drivers" .

One is two or more drivers sharing one entry in a run group. In this case the car should be in the regular line. In this example, if the group gets 10 runs then all the drivers sharing that entry will share in the 10 runs.

The other is two drivers each entered in the run group but sharing a car. In this case the car should be in the 2-driver line. In this example, if the group gets 10 runs then each driver will get 10 runs. The grid worker will release the 2-driver line at the beginning and then half way through the run group in order to get in twice as many runs for the 2-driver line.

So according to whats been said in this thread earlier, the 15 dollar extra charged is for the first example where the runs are split?

2 drivers and one car entering a single run group, first driver pays full entry fee ($40), second driver pays cost to cover fee's ($15), this car runs as a single driver car. You do NOT get the same number of runs per driver, the car gets the same number of runs, you share the ride.

Yes. There will NOT be a 2-driver line at this event.

Please be sure to refer to your Saturday paractice flyer for 2 driver clarification. As stated, we will NOT have a 2 driver line. Larry C is correct if we were to have a two driver line. But, in this case, Bimota hit the nail on the head.

I would much rather see two people get full time behind the wheel of the same car. So we decided to have you sign up in different groups if you chose to do so. If not, and you paid $15 for the second driver, you must share in the same group.

A two driver line with the same car may somehow get shorted if the time runs out. We did not want that to happen here. Remember...We will be changing workers on the fly...Heads up!

One more thing. We will have four colors in each run group.
Blue, Red, Green, Yellow.
We will also have a color for which group you are in. ex.1,2,3,4 group.

We like colors!

Thanks again
