Interesting. It's easier for me to afford to do the long ones because I CAN provide enough value that people want to share the seat with me.
Of course, the Golf is pretty immune to race length - it just doesn't care. We didn't change brake pads at Nelson in 24 hours, but I'd guess that a Mustang wouldn't have that luxury.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Homestead 12 change format, given the relatively low turn-out they've had. We'd LOVE to add that one to our calendar but the biggest problem is getting the crew necessary to run an enduro, who can take the time/income/vacation hit necessary to travel from the NC area.

EDIT - note that this doesn't mean that I'd be fundamentally against the idea of shorter enduros being added to the mix. The points system does a good job of recognizing length as a factor, so it would be interesting to see what options exist.
One other thought - maybe it would be possible to phase in class championships, like if a class gets 5 entries over the duration of the year (just making up a number), then it gets a trophy. 6 warrants 1st and 2nd, etc.
