Its a nice idea, but isnt a big part of the crowd travelling fans? I dont think many are gonna travel a week early and now have to pay for more than a weeks worth of hotel just to see what is normally the support class.
360 sprints are fine, but i dread to think about how long those modified races are gonna be... three different types!? when i see those as a support class for sprints or late models, it slows the show down so bad... the only modifieds that put on good events are the Northeast big blocks and the Nascar tour mods..
360 spirnts arent gonna be much of a draw in the carolinas. i also doubt most locals are gonna feel like going to two long race weekends in a row , not mention, its not cheap...
i doubt theres gonna be many fans in the stands. maybe the promoters can make a profit with back gate money if the car counts are good... i cant imagine this extra weekend is gonna last..

i think it would have been better if they would have added one or two of these classes to the thursday portion to the world finals since all they do is qualify and heat racea, no features.
