It first started (1981) as qualifying and heats on Saturday and B mains and features on Sunday afternoon. Then went to qualifying and heats on Friday....B mains and features on Saturday. I remember one year (maybe 92 or 93) when they qualified on Thursday, heats on Friday and the B mains and features on Saturday. I also remember when the fastest 6 qualifiers were locked into the feature and didn't have to run a heat race.
Cowboy, are you sure about that? As I recall, and memory ain't what it used to be, but I thought it was Friday and Saturday prelims and qualifications and the features were Sunday afternoon. I might be mistaken but I remember plenty of daytime features, I think
Late 80s with the Late Models we ran fri-sat and sunday was consi's and features. Remember one fri night qualifications was rained out and we started at 11am with hot-laps on Saturday and got done at 11pm with all the hot-laps, qualifying and heats.
I know not that many years ago they qualified the Silver Crown Cars on Friday and ran WoO as Crown 1. Then everything else Saturday. I don't see a real reason why they could qualify the Crown cars and Midgets on Friday night and save that time Saturday.
May knock a few guys from racing a Sprint on Friday night, but I don't know how many did that this year anyway.
Then all you have is 4 hot lap sets and 2 divisions to qualify.
