Single car is the way to go, it's fast paced, all eyes on him, balls to the walls:Steer
IMHO qualifying should be solely about the ability of one driver, he should not have to worry about another car messing up a clean lap:checkered:

Ignorant? Really??
When it's done correctly group qualifying works perfectly fine, saves the race track and speeds up the program. I like single-car qualifying too and was against the group method being used at my home track to begin with. But after seeing group quals over a period of time and seeing it perfected (cars of the same caliber grouped together, etc.), I started to like it. And its purpose was really hammered home after seeing last year's Sprintweek show at Kokomo: 55 cars, two laps apiece took forever and the top was close to worn out at the end of it. Coming back the next week for a local show, you really got a good idea of how efficient the group format is.
