I am sure that there are some legitimate reasons why the tracks and or the IHRA are doing this.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to race any this year, so I don't have any first hand experience with the new ownership. In the past, some tracks have let us pay for one race at a time, however you did have to pay full weekend crew price at the gate.
Once you pay (if they make you pay for both races), they have your $$ and if the race is called for a rainout, you then have no choice but to come back, or redeem if for a certain % voucher at a pro-am race somewhere else.
Personally , in the age of computers and spreadsheets, I can't see how it is that hard to keep track of who has paid for 1 day, 2 days, etc.
