If you after an opinion. Nobody take this to heart as you all do a great job organising the events and the time you put into them. It's a great day out.
The masters was a great idea and worth the extra money due to the extra track time. That is one thing that gets me these days. Track time and master would have solved it. My issue with normal deca's is if your not going to stay to socialize it is a big drive for such a small amount of time driving time.
The other is that many of the guys have driven the layouts many times before to setup the events. It is very hard to compete with only having 2 goes to get it right. I just see it as a little unfare to those who come up on the day to be equal. I take it as you organised and put in the effort so ok.
The cost vs track time is the main concern for me for any day. I will only end up doing a few days each year. I myself would rather do less track days but have a lot more track time even if I have to pay more to enter. Consistent track time from long sessions gives you a chance to learn how to drive the car which means faster times. Thats what everybody is aiming for - faster times. I don't enjoy the 3 lap sprints as I cannot get a feel for the car in that time because there is such a long break in between track days I do. Would rather 15 min sessions myself.
I don't want to take anything away from the organisers of these events because without you there would be nothing.
