There are several things I don't like about the USAC format, And Ironically, some of those same things I like.
I like Single Car Qualifying. However I don't like that Fred qualifies third fastest. doesn't transfer but transfers from B and still starts ahead of Joe, who qualified thirteenth but won his heat.
My fix to this, Single car qualifying against your heat, Invert top six.
(Picked by Draw) Top two to Pole dash. 3-5 to b 6-10 to C.
Feature lined up by finish of pole dash and the rest by finish of there heat-Consi.
I think the non adjusters is a epic fail, But showcases the crew chief. If your off, you can't get better.. As much as I was against the adjusters Back when they started becoming popular) Getting rid of them after everyone already has them. was just dumb.
I think every track has a handful of racers that can race up front with them. The problem is they can't go rip a lap half a second faster in qualifying like the guys who do it every race in top equipment so they're starting in back with little chance of getting to the front.
It's a good show and one of the hardest to win at. However without a car count over 28 it really isn't much better than a local show as far as amount of racing and how hard they race. In fact a local show heat finish is mparative. whereas USAC if your running third and had a top five qualifyng speed, what's your incentive to get second or win? I've seen it dozens of times where They knew they were locked and didn't even try to get another spot.
