If Friday night gets rained out as it looks like, would Saturday afternoon start earlier around 1:00 - 1:30 to get in two rounds of qualifying?
It would be nice if the organizers share the plan (if they have one!) ahead of time because the forecast has been bad for Friday for days so they should have had time to come up with something.
My 2009 Race Count: 48
My 2009 Track Count: 18 - East Bay Raceway(FL), New Smyrna(FL), Volusia(FL), Bristol(TN), Delaware(ON), Flamboro(ON), Sunset(ON), Merrittville(ON), Ohsweken(ON), Dunn Tire-Lancaster (NY), Ransomville(NY), Sauble(ON), Humberstone(ON), Kawartha(ON), Eriez(PA), Oswego(NY), Airborne(NY), Brighton(ON)
I would think, one of the reasons they have the 2 days... is so if it rains one day, they still have another day of quilfying to go off of. So it may only be the 1 set.
Now in saying that....if it was me, I would run 2 sets of heats on Saturday...and push back the LCQ/B's untill Sunday at say 12:00pm and then should still be able to start the Features at 1:30.
I doubt we'll get any racing in on Friday but the weatherman is calling for ONLY 20% POP on Saturday and Sunday.
;D 😮 ;D
If Friday gets rained out and they run double sets of heats on Saturday starting at 3:30 pm that will be one long, cold night with the forecasted temperatures!
Starting earlier on Saturday around 1:00 pm would get qualifying finished before midnight.
OSCAAR seems to be getting the best deal at Autumn Colours and Flamboro's Octoberfest with their qualifying and feature all in one day.

I called the track earlier today and asked the very same thing. All J.P told me was they were going to sit and wait it out, if cars can get on the track at some point that they would push to do as much as possible.
