I'm not arguing the pros/cons of either approach; I just think a series format should be explained so the paying fans have some sense of what's going on.

I've been watching sprint cars for a mere 10 years, much less than a lot you folks, & i still have to look up formats for all the different groups. It finally sunk in that in USAC, the fastest 6 who qualified thru heats are inverted up front. But I still forget how they line up everybody else... straight up by qualifying, right? Bugs me that guys from the B can start ahead of heat qualifiers, but we've debated that before
