As of right now, the TC is mid day, leaving the rest of the sprint guys to sit and wait for two hours and hope that their sprints don't get cut short due to time restraints

I know I started racing TC for extra practice/track time... late in the day wouldnt help that.  Didnt they used to run it late but kept running short on time if sprints dragged on?

If its run early the TC can follow a specific time constraint, sprints are a bit less predictable

correct, TC runs 2 hours regardless. Even if red flag or clean up. I remember at Daytona 2 years ago we paid $175 and got less than 15 laps in because the sprints run long and there is no way to move the TC to the next day (like you can with sprints). Running TC last in the day punishes the TC participants. At least running TC first you know it will not be longer than 2 hours regardless.
