Could that possibly be because there are many times more wing racers? And that they can race for good money without having to follow what is arguably the toughest schedule in short track racing?

I like the large heats. Each one is like a short feature. Eldora had 14 car heats for their million.

Im not sure and it's certainly up for debate. It takes massive sponsorship to do the full tours. And Im not sure if you're not in the top fifteen in points you're doing any better $$ take home wise.

All I meant by it is there may be a handful of great non wingers not running USAC full time and maybe 20-25 great wingers not doing WoO full time.

Anyway, We've had three straight nights of awesome racing. May it continue!

What they coulod do is take the top 40 in time and run four 10 car heats and guys out of the top 40 run a non-qualifiers 20 lap race and pay 1000, 800, 600, 500......and then 200 all the way back.

That's a killer Idea, Maybe have it give half points as well and get rid of provisionals.

You don't make the big show, You didn't make it. But you'll still get a feature, some glory and $$

It could take it to a no support class show.

Having been promoter back in the day let me say this. No matter how you form the heat races, how many you invert, how the consi goes - 99% of the time the top cars and drivers are in the feature. The other 1% is provisional. And baring accidents, 99% of the time the top guys come out on top. Been that way forever in all forms of oval track racing.
