Marv, I think one of the things people don't undertand about qualifying, is as someone else mentioned before, back a few years, more than some are old, when you went to a Sprint car race, or a Midget race, that's about all that was there, not 5-8 divisions, just one, maybe 2 on a special occassion, and qualifying was how you got your starting position for the heat races, and it was not only expected, it was required. Now days with all the different divisions, and fewer cars, and even fewer butts on the boards, to expedite the events of the evening, has come the pill draw, which even some drivers like, because they don't qualify well, myself, I prefer to run where they qualify, which in my case, is mostly all the fair grounds tracks, and we are maybe the only racing on the card, one thing about it, if you screw yourself qualifying, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself, yes to some it may be boring, but to me, it's my one chance at the track, by myself, or my drivers, to see what we've got under us for setup for the evening. With our method of pill draw and heat race scoring, it isn't real bad to pill draw, but even then, sometimes you just can't overcome a high 50's draw! JMHO. Bob
