My original thought was for all cars to run the eliminator. Kevin McKenna gave me some food for thought with his comments. Now I have read Michael Beard's comments, along with others.

How many pages would it take for 200 cars?? Also, how would you get the ladder to all 200 competitors since they don't all pit together?? It would still be a great idea, but how would the confusion be kept to a minimum?? Just a little more to think about.

After re-reading my initial thought and the comments of others I do understand the reason for a 128 car limit.

By the way, there are now 201 cars entered in stock and super/stock.
