They usually prefer Hot Lap/Group Qualifying as at least they can compare relative speeds of the cars in the group.

I’m not saying USAC should go to group qualifying, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with qualifying two cars at a time.
While haven't been around the sport quite that long, I have been for many decades. I remember back when programs were sold, and I would enter the times in the appropriate page. That always kept me interested as a youngster.
