Please do away with the group qualifying for the Silver Crown division

My personal opinion is that it is not all helpful for the event itself and it leaves fan uninformed about a particular car, where the driver is from, sponsor etc.

Group qualifying sucks for all divisions.

I agree wholeheartedly. It wears out the track faster as well.

I say do away with Silver Crown. They have low car counts and way too few races. When it takes Modifieds to try and get a crowd, you know it is over. Add in the fact of the 50-51 race deal, the SC is a shadow of what it used to be.

I remember as a kid, the Big Cars was a big deal. They had large crowds,TV and radio broadcasts of their races. What have they got now,25-30 cars on lousy tracks that used to be primo tracks.

I hate to see them go, but their time has come and gone. They had a long run and it was a lot of fun and excitement, but no more.

I remember 60+ cars at the Fairgrounds, 60+ at PIR, 50 or so at THAT, those days are gone. I keep spending my money going to The Hoosier 100 and come away disappointed almost every year,since the 90's.

My fear is that the SC cars are all but done, I am afraid the Midgets are going down the same path. Thank you USAC. The new generation of SC cars killed the SC series.

i was really lookin foward to watching single car qualifying friday with the champ cars at Eldora. would have made the front row starting positions more dramatic. as it was it was just another hot-lap session. then on saturday they hot-lapped the midgets and champ cars again with the track clearly in need of moisture.

I agree, group qualifying takes away from a driver that may have a good lap going and gets caught behind a slower car! It also puts more wear on the track before the heat races. Come on "USAC" get your head out of the sand and make a positive decision for once!!!
