I was at Knoxville all week and didn't see half the fans missing qualifying while drinking at their RVs. Be curious where you came up with this stat. Now grant you at Knoxville you could change it to "half the fans are still at Dingus Lounge drinking" and be correct but at Pevely WoO the week before the stands were full for qualifying.

Speaking of time trials and boring, watching qualifying at a daytime mile dirt race, with no moisture left in it, and 360ci overweight 100" cars. No thanks and I like dirt champ cars.

As for my opinion on all qualifying I'll use my race friend from Pennsylvania line, "I ain't paying until they start praying".
