Last time I was at Kokomo they did group qualifying during hot laps and I thought it was a really good deal. I dont know about other tracks but at this point and time group qualifying at putnamville would be disastrous and hot laps does no good there.

i wasnt trying to beat up on the burg.loved the new fast track! and i do run lps some but not alot if they qualified i would run there alot more.its also only 15 min. from home but if the burg would make good use of the equipment they already have and qualify then i would spend the 200 more dollars in fuel it takes to get there and buy pit passes i trade pit passes at lps for signs so it dosnt cost me much to run there. but if u dont let promoters no what u want there never gonna change.

yes 4 to 6 car invert is what i would want. how often does a car starting 8th win a heat? i win alot of races so i think i no how its done. but when u start me in the back of a heat and how u finish is were u start in the feature u force me to be more aggresive. well isnt that what the fans wanna c? fine than dont ***** were there is to many yellows. and car counts suffer bacause we cant afford repairs. one lap per car? how many races have u watched and seen a driver start in the back pass 15 cars end up in the top five and then said man he was flyin if he would have started up front he would have won. well u can thank the draw and tracks that r not racy in the heats! im just saying that qualifying is the only fair way to start the night period!!! and if u dont agree with that than ur slow or a fan not paying the repair bills

No, Im not paying your bills Brain, However, I wonder if you'd of got the pole in the draw, Would you still have the complaint?

Nothing wrong with Qualifying if the format is racy.
