I really like that USAC continues the 2 at once qualifying. Moves the show along faster.

Personally, I don't. My eyes don't point opposite directions. Single car, You can see if a driver bikes it or something. However if a bigger car count, Maybe. They did it at Burg but there was no need to speed up the show. I was home by ten living a hour away.


Don't know what happened last night but it took over a hour to hot lap. I got no idea the logistics of the track.

Your mileage may vary.

I don't mind 2 car qualifying. I think it should only be on tracks 3/8 or bigger.

I’m guessing you are capable of watching only one car at a time during the a main as well. That’s a shame. You must miss a lot. It is called car racing not stop watch racing.
Btw the show you mentioned about your glory track had not enough cars to even run a B. You got home by 10. You should be happy. I hear a lot of people ******** when the show runs long. Now two at a time on the track racing nothing but a stop watch is a problem because it was a quick show. No pleasing you it appears. It’s October 29th and I’m here at Bridgeport for sprint cars. A great day to cross the river into NJ. We go again next week and then the following week at Susky. Smiles all around out here.

Did I ask your opinion on mine? No. Do I care? Same answer. Have a nice weekend. Funny I remember a standing ovation at LBurg but that show doesn't even rank on your good meter.

Is it just me or are some of the comments here becoming needlessly accusatory and abrasive. There is another racing site which seems of this orientation.

Cap, you think it’s that bad? I don’t know I haven’t gone on the other sight in years. I just think we have some folks of strong opinions, and I don’t think any of it personal, but that’s just me. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone I might have offended on this board, I assure you it’s not my intention. Now to qualifying. I don’t mind 2 cars but that’s my limit. I’ve said it before I think the efficiency could be very much improved at most places for single car qualifying.

I haven't seen single car qualifying hold up a show in a while. I think it has gotten pretty efficient. I have seen later shows with group qualifying.
