spot on comments!

Considering C1 is counted as a Q run and since this is an experimental crossbreed between a national event and a national open, should we just go back to random pairing for C1 so we can resume the old format of late arrivals using C1 as their qualifier? If E1 has always been historically random pairing then maybe C1 could be as well.

No, not when there is money and a Wally I involved. The Class ladder should be a traditional sportsman ladder. It keeps everyone honest. If anything, someone should lobby to allow the cars that can't run class to run at the end of class.

So why not just put any late-comers that haven't made a Q run on the bottom of the sheet at 28.000 and put them into Class Elims. at that?

I agree, you could put the late arrivals at the bottom of the ladder in his or her class as you would at a divisional.

Just a reminder to be grateful we have a track to race at. We did lose two major tracks in the last 8 years in D1. The reason we only have 6 divisional races.

I think one time run Friday morning before the start of class eliminations would address a lot of the concerns. That would give late arrivals a chance to get on the sheet and participate in class runoffs. It would also give any record setters from Thursday some extra time to finish putting their cars back together, or a chance to run after putting it back together. Should not affect Class eliminations as they move along quicker than the eliminator due to any classes that only have 2 cars don't come back after round 1.
