1/4-mile I can understand. Racers need to petition IHRA and the tracks and let them know what they want.

One race in 3 days? What do you do with the other two days (for Divisional races)?

Personally, I *would* like to see them go back to having 1 Qualifying run on Sunday morning. We used to gain several cars on the last day of an event, and with the lower car counts these days, I don't believe it'd be a time issue.

you still have to go 7-10 rounds to win
Correction, they are typically 5-6 round races. Factor that into your budget, as your chance of winning a 5-round race is much higher than a 7-round race. Look at the big picture... entry fees vs payout, number of days off work, number of races in a weekend, number of rounds in the race, etc, etc... the return on investment can actually be quite good.
