Did he qualify bad but transfered If so, he starts in his qualifying time slot.

Poor qualifying start in front of the heat race, poor qualifying start in rear of field for feature. Looking at Wallsracing post, it looks like two cars missed the show that qualified infront of Levi.

IF I haven't screwed this up, here is how a 24 car inversion line up should look for the heat races.

Heat 1
21 17
13 9
5 1

Heat 2
22 18
14 10
6 2

Heat 3
23 19
15 11
7 3

Heat 4
24 20
16 12
8 4

Feature: Top six times inverted, everyone else lines up on straight up qualifying time. If quick cars miss the show, start position improves.

Cottle had his elbows up last night. BC better watch it or he might lose his ride

USAC changed the format from the old 32 car invert to the now 24 car. I feel they did this because car counts have not been 40 plus consistently for awhile.

Only the fastest 24 qualifiers are inverted...used to be the fastest 32....qualifiers 25 thru 32 are now in positions 7 and 8 in the heat races. I liked the old format better...just seemed (to me) like the heats were better. This format certainly changes the feature starting lineup...
