I'm sure they were much quicker to pull the plug on a standalone USAC or outlaw show like they used to have back in the day. Very few standalone events there these days. Looking at this year I think it's only the Ohio sprint speedweek show in June that is a 1 nighter with a major sanctioned group.
Earl was a bit different. He'd decide a few minutes before gate opening if the weather was iffy. But if he did open the gates, He'd go all night to get it in.
