I agree with this. By this I mean promoters should not plan on a 22 car feature being 20 cars and 2 provisional. If you want 22 cars qualify 22 cars then add your provisionals. Step 2 if you take a provisional you do not get bottom pay. If bottom pay is $200, what ever place you finish, subtract $200 from the payout and that is what you earn. that 200 pays for the guy that qualified for the race that you just bumped down to bottom pay.
I really don't think people would have had problems with provisionals until guys started going out turning 1 or 2 laps then pull off. THAT ANNOYS ME!
