It seems to me promoters find themselves in a hopeless no-win situation when it comes to putting on a mid-week show. Start hotlaps at 6:00 or 6:30 so the headline feature can hit the track by 8:30 or 9:00, and you piss off the half of the crowd that works a 9:00-5:30 type of schedule. But if you try to accomodate those folks by starting at 7:30 and running all the support class heats first, the fans who work more of a 6:30-2:00 dayshift will scream bloody murder because the sprint feature didn't push of until after 10:30. All they can really do is try to keep the show moving whenever it starts.
