Instead of the 49/51 procedure (red flag half way) what would be out of line with the format used during the early running of the Hulman Hundreds.
We time trialed, split the field in half and ran 2 20 lap quailyfiers taking the 12 or 15 (I belive) finishers from each. Then those cars ran a 60 lap A Main/ Feature. Fuel and tire issues are reduced and the FANS GET 100 LAP OF GREEN FLAG RACING. The rule book still has the "if the distance is less than 60 laps yellows do not count" (I think it's in either the general race procedures or in each spefic divisions procedure section after car spec sections).
Current day Silver Crown race format "red flag at half way" SUCKS at best, however the OLD CHAMP CAR days (30-60 show up and 18 only start) isn't real good now days either.
Hopefuly this would a better compromise of the situation that what's been tossed out to fans recently.
Definatly the above format would need to be tweaked for a 1/2 mile show.

the red flag at 50 laps is the hoosier tire red.
