Cutting Racer cost to attend NHRA meets

With the large number of cars attending Points meets would it still be possible to Cut time trial or run on Friday so we could do double meets at one week end? Have four meets instead of 6 I know some track would be cut out of the finances of their meet but..
.. How about run S SS, and Comp at one week end meet twice at INDY points meet and . Run S/g, S/C, S/ST twice at the next location. Run Alcohol for crowd at one event or other or both. This could shorten the events and cut travel and hotel drastically. Negative would be not seeing friends in opposite groups of racers.
Meets would require less space in pits.Entry would be double at each event to make up the cash basis for the meet paying for two sets of points for racing and yet racers really cut the overall cost of traveling and hotels. The free week ends people could run locally if they wanted to race or ....
Six events going to 3 locations for S and SS and Comp. Six events for SG, SC and SST by going to 3 events. All the tracks take in similar entry moneyby double race double entry.
T/S and T/D could be split or added at Super meets
Do this one year or one set of meets for a test...Racers have stated IHRA double races were great..
I know I would have missed a lot of tracks if it were limited this way but this would help keep the similar numbers of racers able to participate.
