Charlotte?) would be better, or even have their race the week before at Sebring. That would allow any teams that really want to participate in the 12 hours to do so.

I think that's a non-starter idea without fully funded professional marshalling crews. March is already tough with multiple events including St Pete and Sebring within a short time usually, and Barber Indy race shortly after. Both draw marshals from across the SE and trying to run events within a short turnaround would be hard if not impossible. Only options would be Road Atlanta or Barber (dear god NO), Daytona and Charlotte aren't going to open to rovals for racing outside of their events.
