Last year this race was a hit with POWRi alone. Sanctioned with USAC... Im afraid. It really hurts me that only 4 & 4 will be working the race. 4 USAC officials and 4 Powri. Guys like Bryan Barton was moved out of this position and I am starting to feel for this guy. First, USAC drops Slim, Ronnie, Bryan ...etc and now here they go again pushing Bryan from another job he LOVES.

I love Granite City and I hope the racing will still be as good as it was last year.

in racing it's just not fair anymore to the workers.

PRAY FOR A GOOD RACE...BETTER YET a GOOD TURN-OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'm missing something, but an above post by the track says the top 2 from Friday and the top 2 from Saturday are locked into the A main. Huh???!!!

Also I went to the Tri-City web site and read the format. Maybe I'm missing something again but what determines the cars assigned to the D, C and B mains????? :confused: Is there some kind of point deal going or what???? If all the cars are running both preliminary nights, then how is that figured into the various mains on Saturday night??? :confused:

The top 2 from thur. and fri. night are lock in and the top 4 or 6 (i cant remember)in points from both nights are also lock in for saturday feature. That what was said at the driver meeting on Friday at Granite City

Don,

I went to the track website and took a look at the format. I think they are missing a couple of lines. If I had to guess I would say they are running a format similar to the Chili Bowl. Heats, Last Chance Races, Qualifying Races, B Mains, then Feature.

Each Night is a Seperate Show.

Points Awarded As Follows:

Thursday - Drivers receive Points
Friday - Drivers receive Points

The Accumulative Points from Both Days will determine the D,C & B for Saturday

Depending on Car Count the cars that transfer will be as follows:

D Main to C Main - Top 5 Transfer (2 D's)

C Main to B Main - Top 5 Transfer (2 C's)

B Main to A Main - Top 8 Transfer (2 B's) = 16

"A" Main Consist of the following:
Top 2 from Thursday's "A" Main
Top 2 from Friday's "A" Main
Top 4 from Accumlative Points from Thursday & Friday combined Points
Top 8 B Main #1 from Saturday
Top 8 B Main #2 from Saturday
Prov 2 (POWRi Provisionals 2)
Prov 2 (USAC Provisionals 2)
