I think three runs over two days should be the minimum scheduled. It's otherwise pretty hard to set records and breakage on the first pass can't always be fixed that quickly.
My only trip to a Vegas points meet as a spectator was an enjoyable but different experience. On the Friday i left the hotel in the dark and ate my drive-thru breakfast at 90mph or so and still managed to miss most of Stock. On Saturday i got up earlier , drove faster (rental car only did 110mph) and as i skidded into the pits the cars were lining the staging lanes... in the dark at 6:30 AM.
Super Stock was two classes later. Just Super Gas and Super Comp in between as i recall. I think that was around 1pm! I walked around the pits while they ran SG and about the start of SC i drove off out the gate and did the whole tour of Shelby's shop and watched a couple chassis dyno sessions of 900hp Subarus in the industrial park, ate lunch at the restaurant by the freeway , visited the huge gift shop across the street and when i got back there were still more Super Comp dragsters in the lanes than i'd ever seen at a Div 6 race!
Very considerate of Mike to ask.
