Here is the response I received from Division 7 Director Mike Rice.
"How about 3 days and 800 cars? You figure out how to do it better and be done at a decent hour each day, especially Sunday. I think I've bee more than fair to all racers, this is just something that happens at this event, and the track is not willing to run a 4 day event (like we did 2 years ago). Without that, there is no possible way to get 3 hits, unless we run until 3AM like they did at the old Vegas track. I REFUSE to put racers in jeopardy with conditions like we get late in the evening at that time of year.

I do not agree with this race being scheduled the week before the Finals, as it becomes a last ditch effort race for out of division racers and obviously prevents us from getting our normally scheduled 3 qualifying runs.
I, for one, will be choosing to make the car count 799 and save the $500+ it would cost me to attend this race. Good luck to all that decide to attend!

Thank you to Mike Rice for taking the time to respond to my e-mail.
