I wish USAC would make a format change and go to group qualifying so drivers wouldn't be at such a disadvantage when the track changes so much during qualifying. The format used for the late models last night at Farmer City worked well with a field of 41 cars. To do that, USAC would probably have to drop the part about making anybody outside the top 32 run a non-qualifier race. I think the drivers would certainly be in favor of at least getting an opportunity to run a heat race. I guess they could just take the top 8 qualifiers from each group and anybody outside the top 8 runs a non-qualifiers race. It just seems like a lot of these guys are doomed by their draw and really don't even have a chance to race.
