alright, one more thing. back in the day we used to do time trials and the slowest driver started on the pole and the fastest driver started last. that provided some a** kicking racing (usac still does a somewhat similar deal to that in the heat races, but still starts the fastest guys up front on the features) call me old school, but that has never made a lick'a sense to me. if we have to waste time with time trials, start the slowest guy on the pole and the fastest guy last throughout the course of the night and then I think I might start liking time trials again.

Keep talking Mr. Thunderhead, your credibility is taking a hit as big as the hit you have taken to the head.

I guess I am super old fashioned...I like single car time trials. I would even go further and give a little time between cars so you could hear some info about the drivers going out and the one just timed when it is quiet. Could create excitement and good general info for those that don't know the drivers well.
I am from the day when sprint car racing meant that is what you saw. Hot laps, Time trials, Heats, C / B feature, Feature, Pits, then go home. I would rather pay more and have no support classes. That's just my preference. Even if there are just enough cars for 3 heats and no B. I would still prefer just sprints. |

I love qualifying. Watching a sprint car single car qualify at places like Terre Haute is my little slice of heaven at a race track. Yes sometimes it sucks when you're super late on bad tracks, but sometimes it sucks when you draw the back of a heat race on hard to pass tracks, or when you draw the pole for passing points on easy to pass tracks when you can win the heat and still be in the B main! Every format has pros and cons. I love that we qualify in USAC then go to Kokomo and qualify in your group (which I think is the BEST local track format out there). It's fun to switch it up!

Nailed it, Qualifying at Terre Haute is a event in itself!

Years ago at Gas City during sprintweek there was a major thunderstorm that delayed the start. Eric Shively was the first car out to qualify and after his 2 laps I turned to the fellow next to me (I think it was Danny Burton) and said "Well I just got my money's worth". That's how much I like watching non-winged sprintcars qualify.

care to clarify your futile attempt of an insult mud packer?
and racing girl, race laps were monitored and anyone caught running consistently under their time and construed to be sand bagging was disqualified/ lol, race promoters might be a bit daffy sometimes, but they ain't that dumb! Posted via Mobile Device
