After (participating in) 3 years of 2-day events in MI, I still would rather have a Thursday practice day. While it's nice to be able to do work in your own shop with your own tools and have a lot of space, the "we'll do it during unbag" mentality was very clear in a few instances, and it just didn't seem right.
