Yep.. About 5-6 years ago, we had that set up at Wild Horse with the Monte. We got the first bye for no. 1 ..We went a few more but didn't make it far enough for the 5th bye.
First time I saw this was at the Indy Open about 25 years ago. I thought no, this can't be right...but it was.
There are only 4 earned byes in a 7 round race. Then, it goes back to the no. 1 car position again, if the numbers are right, contrary to what some believe.
