They did make it a four day race back in 2006:

I remember talking to Chris Blair and he said it cost $10,000 a day to pay the staff and crew. I doubt you'll see a four day race unless NHRA lowers the sanctioning fee or the track gets some other kind of incentive.

In 2005 they tried starting at 7AM. I don't think that went over too well.

I think maybe there should be some kind of grade point requirement to get in. Like maybe you have to go to 3 or 4 divisionals earlier that year to get in.

I agree something needs to be done. I don't mind running at 1AM. The track probably has the best lighting system of any out there, but I don't think it's right the crew has to work 18 hours a day.
