Could only find my "west coast version", IE...second Vegas Nat 2009, over a 128 field, 2 cars no show for Rd 1 and 129 and 130 came in and replaced them in the broke car spot.

Also, there's no rhyme or reason on how they insert the alternates. Whatever no-show they happen to notice first they go to the first alternate, if they're not there they go to the next alternate etc...

So, as an alternate you could possibly be inserted into a heads-up situation. If you know that one of the no-shows could mean a heads-up race for you, you might want to make yourself "unavailable" while they're looking to fill that spot -- provided there are other spots available.

I know I know, everybody loves to race heads-up, but if you're an alternate I doubt you would want to race a qualified car heads-up especially when you're not hopped up.

I just took a look-see at the sheets. The first person does get the higher spot on the sheet.

Evan, I believe you get the round points less 20 , because you don't receive the qualifying 30 but you get the 10 show up points.

I'll bet these two guys could make the AHFS work better than the current crew.

Good point Toby, But if it were me and I traveled a thousand miles and ended up
in a heads up alternate in the first round we all know stranger things could happen at the starting line also lol, I would still take my chances any day then be put on the trailer because of the wacked out HP on these new Hot Rods its BS.
