Good idea. We could do a two for one go-fund-me. "Help fix George's brain cancer, AND help Luke get his business back on track!"
Although, I assume the cancer would take me before that ever happened.

I have the same gripe about track days starting early. Many people have a few hour drive just to get to the track. My home track of Nelson Ledges and PittRace are only 35 minutes away, but Mid-Ohio is a 1.5 hour drive. Advanced group is always on track at 8:00am. That means a lot of times you have to be up at 4:15-4:30 because you have to drive there, unload the car and gear, then go to the mandatory meeting before you go out. I've always thought it would be a lot better to push it back an hour to ensure drivers have more time to get sleep and a proper breakfast before driving a car at 100+ MPH.

I rent a hotel, or tent it when it's cool enough. Most tracks have public showers even.
I hit Sebring (2.5hr away), Homestead (1.25hr), Daytona (5hr), and Road Atlanata (9hr). The only one worth driving to in the A.M. is Palm Beach (1hr), but the closest hotel is 30min away, so it's a wash really.
I was an official for NASA for 4yr, and there's no way you could fit everyone's session in (generally 4 groups, 4 sessions/day multiplied by 30min, plus 30min lunch) and be finished at a reasonable hour. We would be gridding cars at 7:30 for the 8am group and the last group finishes at 5:30, then trophy's/dinner etc, not many go to bed before 4 digits hit the clock. Then add time for the officials to be putting cones/banners/signs up before the event, then taking them down after. :/

For folks that don't like the early starts endurance racing is the way to go. Drive to the track, sleep overnight, race during the day/evening and don't fully sack out until you are at home at like 2AM Monday morning.
Chump/AER/Lemons is fairly cheap considering the amount of track time per $.
