Default Re: National Event Quotas

With such low quotas, is there any reason for nationals events to start on Thursdays anymore? Can't Friday-Sunday suffice for all events aside from Indy? 2 Qualifying sessions and Class on Friday for everyone before and maybe, if necessary, between the pro Q sessions Friday evening. 3 rounds of eliminations on Saturday. 4 rounds on Sunday meaning every category will be at 16 cars. Once you get past the first two rounds, all the sportsman categories fly anyway. Obviously planning along with the forecast. We finished the entire 2016 Gatornationals starting with Stock E1 on Sunday morning and we were done by 6pm. Less money NHRA has to pay employees and track prep for Thursday, not like they make any money on Thursday spectators anyway. No live access on Thursdays also sucks. One less day off work.
