As much as some of this is appealing, not sure I want to see more load on Lone Star SCCA...
What I would like to see is SCCA negotiate (fast) with COTA to set up more than 150 cars a day. They could easily run this like a DE with 5 groups of 45-50 cars and allow 225-250 cars a day for 4 x 25 minute sessions each. This would ease the stress greatly and allow costs per car to be a little lower and income to track to be higher. A win for all parties. Allowing drivers to get onto the track and practice with smaller groups and with less stress will be safer which is, I think, a goal for all.

Hence my suggestions earlier in this thread. I'd like to see SCCA (lone star reg and nat office) get wednesday and thursday as insured test day events.
Keep COTA in the track rental business and not managing High T club racers they have never dealt with before (in mass), and keep SCCA in the business of running an event of this size and bettering (hopefully) the club racers experience.
I would support the first half of a test day as being run like a big DE session(s). I would rather be stuck learning the track in line instead of losing track minutes to cleanup and handling cars that went off. Running it like a DE should promote that I would think.
Again I'd think that the test day limit is the real limit for this kind of event, at least for people traveling far.
