2 rounds of heats?...i use to like that at Flammy, only because i liked to race as much as possible...but now with gas prices, admissions and everything else going thru the roof, i appreciate the one set of heats and consi...the consi is like a mini feature all its own for the minis at Flammy now. I'm feeling better about Flammy treatment to minis...lol. I posted on chat site too see what other drivers think.
I like the 2 rounds of heats because it seems fair. When you draw a number and start at the back of the pack you know on your second set of heats you will get inverted to the front.
I always wondered about the guys that make it in the consi and have to turn around and run the main feature. What if you didn't bring enough gas, what if you have pushed you car too hard and what about those hot hot nights and having to get back into a 200 degree car.
With a consi thought I like the idea of being able to be a leader amongst the slower cars if all the cars in the main feature are fast you might not ever get the feeling of holding a checker flag.
with a consi you usually end up running with other non qualifiers and have a better chance of a checker, i think....and with the draw, you usually have a few top guys to deal with both heats.
i just read on another board that the fun fours run before racing "officially starts", with no fans and last, at nites end, when most fans have left...lolol...and they have the most cars in a class too?
