Re: Off season drivers: HELP
The experience is probably different on the east coast, especially for me coming from the New England/Mid-Atlantic region. There are tons and tons of offseasons here, so theres not as much of a 'build up' to them as there may be in other areas of the country that have fewer events.
For us, we put out our regulars at IRI and went for it. At BattleCry we mixed it up a bit through the qualifications, but settled on 1 constant (usually experienced) drive team for elims. For other events such as our own Beantown Blitz, River Rage, Where is Wolcott, Bash at the Beach or Mayhem in Merrimack, we let as many people drive through qualifiers as possible. We then will pick a drive team for elims and let them have at it.
We've found this to be a happy balance of getting new people experience, and still "going for it" come eliminations time.
