With the couple of Track Days I have run I never saw a problem w/ the # of cars Scott, until someone breaks. But thats expected for lines to form when the track is temp. shut down for clean up. It's like that at any event. People need to understand that 
. If you allow say only 30 cars to enter you can bet that those 30 cars will be in line waiting to run while the track is being cleaned. And it will take some time to get those 30 cars through the lanes. So rather than complaining we should be happy it's only 100 entries and not 252. Is that the moral of your story

. You said it.
I think people are getting my point. And it is not that I have heard a lot of bitching about our TRack Events, just enough for me to make a point.

252 cars is insane. I was at a 1320 that was over 180 and I thought it was bad. It does take the average 1320 car a bit longer to get down the track.
Some of the worst breakages are imports. FWD cars are always spraying down the track with CV grease on launch and that stuff is terrible to clean up. Most of the time they completely redo the track prep, scrubbing repeatedly, laying down new vht, burning it. It was over an hour to get the track fixed when a GST broke on the line at one track event.
