I think it should be practice on Friday, Qualifying on Saturday, and finals on Sunday...... One thing the Drake said when he was here was, "Why do you run 10 min qualifiers", he said make it 6, but I think 7 would be good. I think I do better in the longer quals myself, but I can see the advantage of making it shorter...... I remember going out to the Gas onroad Nats at Brendale a few years back and they have the top 4 straight into the final and the rest have to go through the semis. I think that is a good idea as it rewards you for good qualifying. Also the top 4 get their own 10 min (or whatever), practice session to get a run on the track.
