(1) You don't need to stay out the entire 20 minutes of Group 6 qualifying just because it's there.
(2) Add in the transition/clean-up time between Group 6 & Group 7 (generally 10-15 minutes) and you have at least 30 minutes to get your car ready for Group 8 qualifying.
(3) How much time do you need to get ready for qualifying after running a qualifying session?
(4) The knuckle-dragging, trailer-trash stock car drivers in Group 9 would get confused if we had them go out before Group 8. It's been bad enough explaining that they'll run right after Group 7 in the afternoon.
All that said, we've got a Race Board meeting tonight where we'll be discussing group/schedule changes (which need to be approved by the SOM) and I'll talk to the Chief Steward about your request.
