Think about this. A guy can go to Indy and be 180th qualifier (dead last) @ .06 under. He's a full second away from the slowest qualifier.
That same guy can go to the very next National event and win it.
Something's wrong with this picture.

Mark - That guy doesn't have to wait for the next national event. He could have a hell of a weekend with no heads up runs and win Indy THAT week! That's why they have an eliminator. Otherwise, they'd just issue checks to the lowest qualifiers.
The way I see it, the "performance based" aspect is that you have run a certain number to get in the show. Once you're in, anyone can win.
