As a board member of SCTA I will answer the question.
The first reason is insurance has put a stop to it because a few people get
a little crazy and think they are still on the track and come back at a
higher speed than is safe. This a major problem at El; Mirage due to the
spectator and off roaders that don't pay attention.

The same goes for the now non existant warm up areas from the past. With the
rates so high we had to put a stop to both.
The other reason is most of the racers don't want additional run time on
their engines and hard to find tires.
Hope this answers your questions.
