really no point of voting on this one cause i live in europe, would be a freak riding 3 o'clock in midnight.

jlv, why dont you just start the series 3 hours earlyer, would be'around 12 o'clock midnight in europe, so not verry late.
and in US it startsat around like 6 o'clock so cant imagine that would be a problem.

ohh and jlv the bbcode works for me, i only wish it was set on a different time.

I wouldn't advise doing the races on weekends. Many people have serious racing in real life that they can't miss. Therefore, weekdays would be best but maybe later on in the week so the Europeans can stay up later if its on Friday. Either way I'm sure it will work out.

The problem with an earlier time is that people in the Pacific time zone are still at work.

I would say friday around 7 or 8 EST. Usually friday is spent getting ready for a race, and not typically a race day. (speaking of real life mx racing). Racing on a weekday makes it more difficult for those of us that work full time jobs. Too late and you won't get much sleep before work, too early and you may still be at work. I work night shift tho, 3:30 pm to 2 am Monday thru Thursday, so any day during the week doesn't work for me.

kinda sucks to say this, but i think there are more people in europe that play, than there are in the pacific time zone. and we already catered to the US guys with the sx series. :?

Most of Team AG lives in the Pacific.There is kwic who doesn't have a job I don't believe. :P The there is Havoc who made the SX,so it seems that the time you always do it at is fine for them.I don't know what day,but I don't noramlly race so I won't even vote.

If it is during the week, you will lose people to work and maybe summer classes. If you do it on the weekend you will lose people to real life races. Either way there will be people who can't make it, and of course everyone thinks it is more important for them to make it than the other people lol
