Back in the day you drew a number for your heats and if you drew a big number you had to race hard to make the feature. Then along came USAC with qualifying with nothing but a stopwatch for getting the times. Then later on they had a light system. The newfangled thing is a (transponder) now they can get your time within one thousandth of a second. I sort of liked the number draw for watching the races. Now the big thing is qualifying several cars doing hot laps which does speed up the show. But then this don't always work as a slow car sometime gets in the way of a fast car.
