And you make an assumption that the Saturday qual will be dry. If it's wet, you won't be able to get to where you want to be.
There has been no "traditional" to the scheduling of the NARRCOFFS. Started competing in them 25 years ago, have missed a few along the way, but have been to many. Way back, it was Practice Fri. AM, Qualify Fri. PM, race once on Sat. Then it changed to both sessions on Fri. we're Practice/Qualify, race once on Sat. Last year it was Qualify Fri. AM....time set the grid for the Fri. PM "Qualifying Sprint"...position set the grid for the Sat. AM "Qualifying Race". Grid for the big "Feature" was set by best lap time from any of those 3 sessions. I remember because I purposely started at the back all 3 times to stay out of the craziness.
It's evolving...unless you're a creationist, then it was planned ~8000 years ago.

Honestly, this is my concern.I remember because I purposely started at the back all 3 times to stay out of the craziness.
Very good point Andy. Duh, didn't even consider that.

"Very good point Andy. Duh, didn't even consider that"
This doesn't appear to be a factor,
"Gridding - For 2014, grid positions for the NARRC/NEDCS races on Saturday afternoon will be determined by the best qualifying time in the Saturday morning qualifying Sprint (not finishing order)."
Grid position is only based on SATURDAY MORNING , it appears that other qualifying times don't count toward Sat PM grid
