And if last year was anything to go by, if you arrived much after 06.00 to grab your space, then actually seeing much of the track was almost impossible.

I would presume they would need to be run on separate days, not just because of the crowd size but because of the time it takes to run each race and also the broadcasting window. Both races would want to be aired at the optimum time.
They've been running a double header at Long Beach since 2007, with originally an ALMS round, now IMSA, on Saturday and the IndyCar race on Sunday.
