More , short races. ?

We tried this in Colorado. Consensus was against the fourth race (lots of non-starters.)

With one qualifying session that's five heat cycles/weekend. Add any more practice/quals and the heat cycle count continues to rise.

Yes, Mike, I realize 200 TW tires solves that problem. Convince your fellow competitors.
 
While we're at it, why don't we split the Indy 500 into 5, 100 mile sprint races. After all more races is better.

I guess I'm more of a quality not quantity person. With the longer sessions, there is more opportunity to test person and machine. Shorter sessions just seem more like autocross or drag racing. I've got plenty of local circle tracks I could go to - I still choose the SCCA style of racing.

If we're looking for longer races then we should just do Saturday practice and qualifying and with six groups have six one hour races on Sunday. Hour for lunch and an hour cumulative for clean up.

Or maybe the conflicting calls for both longer and shorter races is an indicator that we've got this about right.
