Chuck,
No matter how much it costs anyone to get to the track. We all would gladly take 100 in cash when we got there. I think USAC is at least putting forth an effort to give back to everybody. I commend them for the action of paying the 100 if they are.

the current way of setting up the whole night based only off qualifing pentilizes a car and driver twice in one night. A driver gains nothing by charging from 10th to 5th as he then must go back to the back of the b main. He would be just as well off to run a lap and pull in and still be in back of the B.What i would like to see is, Qualify to set up heats and non qualifiers but set the B MAIN lineup bases on your positions run in the heats ! Currently if you don't qualify well you would be better off just putting the car back on the trailer.

No Kyle, Im not dissing them a bit. Im congradulating them for stepping forward.
:applaud:

Nobody ever said making a USAC show, let alone a Sprintweek show, was easy.

Yes Mark I asked Kevin Miller on DO's radio show last monday night. He said all cars even the cars that do not make it through the non qualifiers will recieve $100.00 for the rest of the year. Kevin Miller is really trying to make USAC a premier series. I talked to him at length that night and I believe he has alot of really good ideas. He also will listen to anyones ideas. If you want to hear the show it is archived on racefanradio.com

I say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Last night I saw 2 heats with top eight inverted. The first heat was one of the most exciting race I have seen in years. I attribute that to the format. The B main was loaded, and great. The A main was awsome. All the ideas are OK, but how do you think it could possibly make the racing better than last night. Instead of trying to re invent the wheel maybe we should enjoy what we have.

Last nite was good. But, awesome?? Not a pass for the lead in the feature. Heats were much better than the A. Sure their was a lot of drama late. Congrats to DD. Are support classes necessary when you have 55 sprinters? ISW....sprints only. Then maybe the first heat won't start at 9:20.

Very well said. :checkered: We have had a run of bad luck, with that being said when we do make a show we know nothing was given to us. We have not had the results we had hoped for but Josh has gained a tremendous amount of experience running with the best Sprint Car Drivers around. :respect:

Thank you Riskybrisky5. that does make thing's much better.. and yes Jerry, we don't want anything handed to use.. but it's hard to race these day's and not get some return. I love to watch my son run with the best.. and he injoy's it to... when you bet them you know your doing well. My son can drive just need's the seat time.... ( and a good set up man)it make's me want to look at USAC more... thank you all.

my personal favorite is when you draw and qualify within your group say you draw a 56 well cars that drew 50 - 70 there are twelve cars that drew in that range those 12 qualify for there spot in there 12 car heat, and then invert top 4 of each heat... so the draw can not dramatically effect qualifying because the group you will heat race against all hit the track with very very similar conditions, with this format, everyone gets a fair amount of laps and it gives smaller teams a better chance...
and base the rest of the evening off of the race finishes, this may work better just with sprintweeks because of the large car counts
