New rule this year. The first 6 starting positions are for the fastest 6 who transfer to the feature through the heats. The closest to the front you could start if you were fast qualifier but had to run the "B" would be 7th. What that meant tonight was that the first three rows were qualifiers 11, 9, 4, 3, 2 and 1. Qualifiers 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 didn't qualify through their heat and had to run the "B" and could start no better than 7th (Casey Riggs, the 5th fast time, a difference of front row to 7th place).
I think one of the pet peeves of members of this board over the past year or two has been getting your time back if you transfer from the "B". Well, no longer. Should make for some very spirited heat races this year.
