I don't think that this is correct.............
The top 12 qualifying spots are saved and the times carry over to the 3rd session..
If the class has 20 entries and they all are quicker than #12 he gets pushed back to #20....He can still qualify during the 4th session if he can bump #16 to #17.....
#12 in session #2 has no guarantee to make the field only that his pass will carry over to session #3...
What if session #4 was much quicker (better air, better track) would these cars who ran quicker than #12 not qualify????????????
How would 1st round pairings and lane choice go.....quicker or qualifying #....
What would the final qualifying sheet look like if #17 was quicker than #12????????????????/
#12 only races if he can stay in the top 16.........
