Traditionally that is NSCHoF weekend. Interesting pricing they have established....weekly $15 for the Friday TBA and $25 for the Sunday TBA. Maybe a 360/305 show on Friday?

I don't know about that. Seems like too much work for them to turn the racetrack into near concrete for a vintage show on friday, completely tear it up and have it properly watered for Saturday, and turning it back into concrete for a Sunday night AMA race. Not to mention the hay bales.
I've been wrong before.

Other than put down haybales, I am not sure they would have to do anything unusual to the track for either show. The grader comes out after each night anyways....just a slightly different setting for the bikes.
It should be easier to prep the track from Fri-Sat-Sun than it would be during the 360 or 410 Nat's.

AMA has it on thier website (they released their schedule last week or the week before).
Brian Stickel mentioned this type of weekend either in the local paper or on KNIA/KRLS late in 2013, so it's been in the works for a while.
I'm sure that Chris Dunkin was included in this for track prep (it can be done, they've had bigger miracles (rain for 4 days in 1987, and then run 4 complete shows in 36 hours with track prep between each one).
