Heres whats great about TT to me, You think the tracks gone or no possible way a driver could touch the early qualifyers times and the last DUDE/DUDETTE that goes out there and SETS QUICK TIME!!!!!!!!!!! I seen drivers late in qualifying at the Burg put on good times and different lines like going in high and diving off the banks. It was awesome.
As others have pointed out, Every track used to qualify and IMHO it went away not because it wasn't popular but tracks started running 4-5-6 classes and needed a way to shave time off the show. They also did Trophy dashes and had the winner of each race stop at the flag stand for photos and let them get applause from the fans on the track, Not after they'd pulled off.
IMHO Midget week has outgrown the three classes (Not that I don't like the Mods/SS or whatever the third class is)
How about run Two top classes like Midgets/Sprints. Qualify both or Passing points and increase the sprint purse a bit to draw more?
