I agree with this as long as there is a set time for clean up runs and tech so the guys that can't get out of work on Friday have a shot at getting there and getting a run in. How do you guarantee everyone a time run? If you give the clean-up run saturday morning then I'm sure a lot of guys would sit Friday out and rather get the saturday morning run for the most recent and accurate dial-in for elims.

That Friday / Saturday deal is not a bad idea. In fact IHRA has been doing it at some division 9 races for 2 years.
I really don't care for it because they take away the saturday night bracket races, but for you Non-bracket racing types it works well.
