You could have the track watered, teams would be there, but start hot laps at 8, then time trials, then run off the races. Possibly not as many support classes.
Im the type that feels I get my monies worth out of 4 sprint heats, a B and and A feature and done. If the whole event last 2 hours, great!
Let's take this a step farther. When it's this hot, how about we start about 8:00 or 8:30 and use transponders for multi-car at a time qualifying, then forgo heat races and just use the times to line up the feature. (plus a semi if needed.) Maybe add 10-15 laps to the feature to account for the lack of heat races.
I'm not sure how many fans would show up if tracks did this, but I know I wouldn't mind being able to wait until 7:00 or 7:30 to get to the track when it's 95-100 degrees.
