Every year, I go to Hagerstown MD to put on a S/SS race weekend the first weekend in November (this will be nineteen straight years). H-Town has always had a noon start time on Sunday due to the church down the street (on US 40, you can see it from the track). Racers can unload, warm-up, tech, etc, but no racing til noon. In a smooth program, things only last six hours or so, so it's not a big deal. So, this is not totally uncommon. The part about arresting racers though is rather concerning.
