Im with him in some ways and not with others. If you got the time, Do driver intros. Driver and a flagger in front of each car.
Either single car qualify, Group qualify against your heat or draw. The two and three car deal is BS. At the track you can only watch one, On flo the split screen sucks and the smaller TV or screen you have the worse it is.
Im honestly at a point where I think USAC should go with a group qualify format against their heat, the rookie or slow poke will still go to the tail. But the qualifying is IMHO a big reason a lot of teams opt out. even if they do race good at certain tracks, They're behind the eight ball when they show up.
Also think the tire they qualify on is the one they should have to start the feature with. (If that isn't the case already)
Part of the USAC show and WoO and other sanctions to me was always the qualifying. One car, two laps. Full attention. You could hear a motor strain down the back straight at Eldora. Hear if and when they lift and see if they bobble, tap the wall and have a good idea if it was a good lap or not before hearing a time. With less and less cars. I feel that's even more important as part of overall show. in terms of value to go.
Still the cream of the crop. Just want the best for everyone. If it's not interfearing with Race time. There is no reason to gripe from a fans perspective. These races are starting at 7-730 Used to be 830 when I was younger and thats if the track was even packed in yet.
