I'd like to see eliminations ladders set up so that all scheduled bye runs take place in the first round.

Currently, a driver can win a quarterfinal race in certain-sized fields and go straight to the final. A semi-final win can be worth thousands of dollars in purse money and contingencies, plus bonus points, and a free time trial or a parts saving easy pass. Why not make a driver work to advance instead? It also cheats spectators to see late-round bye runs instead of meaningful races.

Low qualifiers are actually being penalized now, because their 'free pass' in an odd-sized field only gets them to the second round, which usually doesn't earn them anything but points. The drivers down the ladder are the ones benefiting from the more meaningful byes as the race progresses.

What do you do with a 65-car field?

I agree with Toby about the cylinder heads. The way the rules are interpreted now is expensive bullsh*t.
