Even the main class can shorten their races if they exceed a set time. No more running a race to the bitter end for four cars to transfer when there are only four cars left in the race anyway because of attrition. I hate to see a guy leave with his kids at say, 10:30, because of all the needless jacking around all night All the money he spent - kids might get in free but do like to eat- plus now consider gas money and he is liable to not come back with his kids which does not help build a base for future fans. That is one reason I don't mind going to the track by myself. When I get fed up with all the messing around I can leave if I wish 'cause after a while I just don't care anymore.

The timed race thing reminds me of a race at The'Burg several years ago.
Gregg Staubb was the promoter and he had the 10 minutes or 10 laps deal.
There was an E-Mod heat race where they never got in one green flag lap. The 10 minutes was up and the E-Mods were gone. Every track should do this.
