How can you possibly criticize the wonderful new format?
It made for a much more exciting freight-train and sold an extra $400 in tires per team for Hoosier! 
If they want to add excitement, they should try TRACK PREP!! 
I totally agree with all of the above. I've never understood how they get those mile dirt tracks to become what is in effect an asphalt surface; there is virtually no dust and the surface is hard as concrete. I can remember when there used to be rooster tails thrown high into the air in the turns, at least in qualifying and the early laps of the race.
Oh, yes, qualifying! Does anyone like group qualifying and whose idea was it?
