I got it, if qualifying is so boring, and the pill draw doesn't suit you, passing points are contriversal, just have the owners call in, and shut it off after 24 entries, then the rest can start calling somewhere else, till they find a place they can make everyone happy, no texting or emails please, or the next time you'll have to mail in your request! Sounds good to me! Really, 12 might be considered 2 b-mains, maybe 8-9 in a heat race isn't that bad, I never liked more than 4 heat races, it's a lot of track time to run 6, and only transfer 1-or 2 out of each one, and they will start tail anyway, it almost makes more sense to just load up, or not unload, if that many cars are in the pits anyway, if you don't feel lucky. I prefer to qualify, but I also understand that is still a hit or miss deal, anyway you do it, you still send another "feature" home with nothing in their bluejeans, doesn't take many nights like that to see a big fall off in car count. JMHO! Bob

To me, this sounds like the perfect equation.

Yes I was Andrew. However, it certainly wasn't in Indiana if memory serves me correctly.

No more than 8 per heat. It would be very hard to transfer from the back. It would be especially unfair if it was by luck of the draw. IMO.
Thanks for asking!

There should be almost if not at least 50 cars at Kokomo this weekend.

There should be but there won't be. I will predict high 30's maybe low 40's.
