4 heats of 6 cars.

It doesn't matter to me as long as the heats are fully inverted and the finishing order translates into feature starting positions. The heats must be "meaningful".

7

Problem is most traacks are one lane in heat races so if you draw crappy thats just about your nite bloomington does 3 heats for 18 cars only gripe about that they run 10 laps instead of 8 no reason for it from owner/ driver standpoint but with 3 heats makes people think more cars than really are most times 9 and 10 car heats just cause more yellows . jmo

7-8 cars is ideal. 6 or 9 is sometimes necessary but I would error toward the side that gives the fans more racing.

24 Cars=3 heats of 8

18 Cars=2 heats of 9

55 Cars=ASQ dreaming big after taking a pull on the crack pipe:10: 7 heats if we ever see this again.
