We were so looking forward to the new Spring Nats held in Phoenix AZ. advertising a new street challenge autocross event.
As we work 6 days a week only leaving Sunday as our day off, we were annoyed to attend, paying full price for only a half day event and no autocross, which was advertised to be on both days. Speaking to others, they too were unhappy that the autocross was not on for both days, our son only went on the Sunday for the autocross. As Saturday seems to be the main event day, Sunday everyone leaves and packs up early the place was empty after the awards were given out. This we have experienced before as we always attend the Fall Nats. I think you should re-value/re-adjust the entry price for Sundays.
