Call me a purist but I personally don't like the group format. I think every car and driver combination should have their moment in the sun. Also it helps IDing who is in what car especially when the PA system isn't the best. I didn't know what car Critter Malone or Bill Rose was in until they raced their heats. Individual qualifying all the way with me.
I'm with you Gregg. Friday night the WOO only had a single lap to qualify and with 44 cars I expected the track to go away rather quickly. No so. They didn't re-work the track either and added some H2O only. Saturday night on the other hand was a challenge. Even with the re-work and adding water it wasn't good. It will be wait and see what changes occur over the off season with the track surface.
