I liked the format and the pit stops were fun (though didn't have any chance to change results, really). But more track time?
Bay City - 5 min qualifier and three six minute mains = 23 minutes of track time.
MCRC - 3 min qualifier and three eight minute mains = 27 minutes of track time.
Normal three qualifiers and a main (all 6 min) = 24 minutes of track time.
F1 classes were probably significantly more track time with like 12 min or 15 min mains.

If you want track time there is a event being re-scheduled for The Gate and GT12-R. An enduro for three to four driver teams. Hours of track time. It was originally scheduled for 2 years ago but we all know what went down with that. Details are in the works.

I’ll be waiting for our new carpet track to open. 5 hours one way is currently outside my range.

I would have liked to do 10 minutes at Mrcr but there was a concern with the amount of entries extending the day too long. But as you pointed out, it is more track time.

A few key factors missing. Rubber tire or foam, tire size, open 21.5 brushless or fixed timing 21.5 or some other motor type? We run rollout anywhere between 86mm and 115mm depending upon those factors. On my son's car with around 41mm rear tire diameter and 76 pinion, to get to 100mm rollout, you would need a 58 pinion. You may want to get some smaller spur gears if you need to go higher.
