As a fan, I personally think that time trials suck and I think most fans would agree. For example, if you would look at the T.V. ratings for a Nascar, or F1 race, and then look at the T.V. ratings for qualifying the day before I think that would be a big difference. Fans come to watch racing, not cars driving around by themselves!

They might not be all that fun for the fans...but as a driver they add a whole other experience...

I like the idea of using practice times for starting positions or move to a multi car qualifying format. Put 5 cars out at a time staggered for qualifying and see what happens. Single car runs on a short track are fine for those of us that like to follow things like that but for the general fan it is not a big deal. LM qualifying is a different deal but SS and mini-stocks need to mix it up a bit.

Practice Times are just that practice times among other things going on at the same time. It does not mean a slower time might not be faster when getting down to business.
