It can be done, And every excuse has an answer/solution. Lets use Atco as an example, most racers entered Thursday ( even Wednesday afternoon!). So the lodging cost is a wash. 3 Time trials is not necessary, if you need to test, support your local association races to test. If you cannot get off work, just enter the second day race only. I like the next excuse...TOO MANY CARS!...if Big $ bracket races can run 4 races in 1 weekend with 300-400 cars, I think NHRA can finish 2, and I know the NHRA DIV 1 officials can move an event along. If NHRA set a course for the weekend schedule, I would not have to here the announcer call "Stock (or any other class) to the lanes please" for 20 minutes.
