Because right now we have been running 2 run groups a day. We have
averaged 80 plus entrants per event. Therefore each entrant had to work
while roughly 40 driver's made their runs. With the split format you
would only have to work for roughly 20 drivers making their runs.
However, if attendance increases, which we hope it will with this format,
then entrants will be working more than half the time.
