Two things...
This would Not be necessary if they dumped the 'only the top 12 passes count and the rest get thrown out' rule...
number 1 qualifier already gets more points than number 2, ect...
dump the whole chase for the cup, copycat, look what NASCAR is doing mentality... screw the fake drama... faked drama can't hold a candle to the real drama of 2005...
or
Admit it's just a show,
Just book in 16 cars, pay them for 8 passes... yeah, two Friday, Three Saturday, and Three Sunday...
but, either way, I'm finding another way to waste 24 weekends next year... funny how you can take something the worked pretty damn good for close to fifty years, then turn it into a joke in three, by trying to make it more exciting.
It like going down what looks like a promising road with a tune up, then getting so lost, you can't get back to your baseline when it doesn't pan out.
I'm over it
