Just to give you some insight....................

65 cars or 128 cars take the same amount of rounds and that would be 7....

We would still have the exact same amount of filler rounds for the PRO show on Sunday.......

If ALL of the Sportsman Category Classes had been capped at 128 it would still take the same amount of rounds.......

The only difference, and I mean only, is that the first round of the eliminator would be run by 128 cars and not 75.....

How long does it take to run 20 pairs of Sportsman during the qualifying??????????

Maybe Class runs would take a little longer because of those pesky HEADS-UP runs??????????????

PS:
Remember when a Divisional Race included Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and 7 or 8 qualifying hits and that got done in 2 days......

What happened was .90 classes with 400 entries, bracket motorcycles, snowmobiles & golf carts at the Divisional Races.....
