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.
I Agree 100%. I like the group qualifying better myself as well. Personally I like F1 qualifying format better than anybodies. My favorite portion of the racing programs are hot laps and of course the racing. Single car qualifying is when I make a trip to the concession stand. Pretty boring! To each his own..I guess.
