It's unrealistic to expect to get everything perfect first time. There are differences of opinion as to what is best. What's important for your racing is what your racers prefer, that may or may not be the same as other groups of racers.
It is well worth trying a few variations on your plan to see what you and your group of racers prefer.
It is well worth visiting some other clubs and see what you can learn from them.
Length of races, length of chats etc. are a matter of personal taste.
Many clubs run heats shorter than 10 min, 3 min being common - its not right or wrong, just different.
Why not try different lengths and see what the group you race with like best?
There is a limit to the number of cars that can be on the track at once.
If there are more than that number of people at a meeting, they cannot all be driving. That leaves spare people who could do race control, marshal, chat, make the tea or whatever.
Exactly how many turn up on a particular race meeting will be somewhat variable. For example, a club might have mostlye between 8 and 12 racers turn up, they need a schedule that works with any of those numbers and have a plan B for the less common meetings when more or less that that turn up.
How much time is needed for repairs is a matter if luck, some nights nobody damages anything, other nights there's a lot of things to fix.
