When and where did you tear down and set the first record, and when and where did you have a problem setting another record with your sealed motor in the same season?

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?

All bye runs can't be in the first round. What do you do with an odd number of round winners?

Ed Fernandez · 01-19-2011, 01:05 PM

Shoot them?

Well, that's obvious. You give the top 63 qualifiers a bye and the bottom 2 qualifiers have to race. Then you have a nice even 64 cars left for round two.

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