Big-time auto racing qualifies. Drawing is fine if you want to watch a local sprint car show or something, but when the best guys are there and a national championship is on the line, I want to see those guys qualify. And the funny thing about it is that the good guys step up. And when they don't, they acknowledge that they screwed up.

I often times end up seriously disappointed with draw shows, but the qualifying shows always give you a good product when there are enough cars. Agreed that those meaningless heat races can be bad, but the best thing about a USAC show is the fully-inverted heat race where only four cars transfer!
