Timing from the fishhook is necessary because of the manual timing system the club uses. The start/finish line needs to be in line with the view from the timing window and allow the timers to see the door numbers as the cars approach the line. This is not possible on the main straight and the only place to have it is in the fishhook. If you don't want to stuff up two laps, the answer is simple: don't spin in the fishhook.
Running longer than the 6 minute runs would mean that you get fewer runs during the day and you would be waiting longer between runs. It doesn't have a big impact on the total number of laps you get. That's how it is when you've got nearly 80 drivers wanting to get the most track time out of their day. Personally, I think the current system provides a good compromise.

BTW, no-one has mentioned it yet ... BIG THANK YOU to Jean Cook for an excellent job on Sunday, serving as Clerk of Course for her first time!!!

On a weekday few people show up as long as a big group hasn't organised something.
You will get a 20 minute session pretty much every hour.
I found it vaulable to do one of these since you have no pressure of trying to achieve times, so you can try things you would never do on a club trackday.
If you post something in this forum, you may even get some people interested in wanting to go down as well.

Yes, thanks to Jean for her first effort.
