Maybe but how would you explain (potentially) dropping it to 9 hours, even if they started it at like 3 or 4PM on Friday it could easily run into early morning by 1500 miles without interrupting Saturday proceedings

I'm - perhaps cynically, perhaps not - thinking of IMSA yet again being over protective of the 12 hours and wanting to feel like the 'real star' of the week. The way the evolution of the format has progressed so far does seem to support this theory
