In other news the race this weekend will be a format like they ran at Oskaloosa(sp) last week, no qualifying. Heat races and qualifying races on a passing points system, don't ask me details about this format i don't know them yet, maybe Sandy Lowe can explain them for us.
All i know is the fans and drivers love the format.
See ya Saturday. Dave
This is awesome news !! Is this a L-Burg decision or a USAC decision ? Whoever's it is I hope we do this more. It takes the draw out of the picture.
Heat races lined up by draw.
Finish and passing point awarded in the heats
Qualifiers lined up by points after the heats and then the top 6 in each heat inverted. Finish points and Passing points awarded.
Points totaled after the qualifiers and top 20 lined up in the feature lined up by points. Next 20 in the B by points Ect.
The best thing about this format is you have to haul ass everytime you are on the track and are rewarded for passing every car you can..
