I figured as soon as they started scaling much more I'd be shut out pretty quick. Any tips on the goon only fights?

With the proviso that there does need to be enough blue on the board for you to grab the five you need. (I swear I've had the worst luck with him ever since I got the fourth blue cover - there's never any blue on the board so he gets ganked by rockets) And wow that Venezuela node is going high! I started my run with it at 160, it hit 172 before I got to it and it had already gone up to 178 by the time I finished

It's always at the same time of the day based on last sub, but I don't remember when it was exactly. Maybe noon EST? With the rubberbanding structure of this event there's no particular advantage to wait once you're already in a bracket. You should do the missions once immediately to make sure you get the first time drop and then you can do it again later whenever you want, or not at all. It doesn't matter because there should always be enough points to rubberband later, so the only concern is if you want to get the first time guaranteed drop.

With that level, it should reward better points than under 1,000 (I know it's early but still).
