They did. with TF,FC, prostock, TAD and TAFC included. That was a long time ago. Before the super categories and TS and TD. there was a ton of stock, super stock and modified cars at that time so the car count was probably real similar to the counts of today. I don't know why the program runs so slow now.

New England has been a three-day points meet since the track came back to NHRA 3-4 years ago.

You may be thinking of Virginia, which ran a two-day meet for a couple year, switched to three days and is back to a two-day schedule this year.

I can deal with the 3 day nationals, it is 50/50 for me, but it is 1 more day off work that we may not need.
The question about points races being 2 days, is certainly true, matter of fact I remember going to the NHRA points race at MIR and getting a time shot Sunday before eliminations , so I guess that was a one day points race. Not sure if that was the 70's or early 80's
