Personally I don't think a team who only just scrapes 2 wins & no other cars in the top 5 in either race deserves to go through, after all it is called teams racing not flag racing You got that around the wrong way. First past the post promotes more brutal racing than points. Under points you get more flag racing as the focus is on car preservation, spin them out rather than take them out and risk your own car. Winning should be the objective. To me it is rubbish that in a three team group one team can beat both of the others and still lose. If as you say a team just scrapes through with 2 wins and no other placing's, how can you possibly think there is no teams racing in that? Seems to me that in that scenario each member of the team has done a fantastic job of protecting the runner and slowing/eliminating the other team. That is exactly what I go to see! |

Not a truer word spoken mcfly!!! What raises the teams champs over every other superstock event in my opinion is the brutality, the carnage, the big hits. That's what I come to see. There are plenty of other events where we can see flag racing especially and probably understandably where qualifying is concerned. Take the recent GP at Huntly. I heard more metal on metal in the Golden Oldies than in the superstocks (apart from the repercharge that is). Speaking of the GP repercharge at Huntly it will be interesting to see how Carl Hodge goes for the Allstars. Good luck young lad!!

I agree that the first past the post produces consistently more brutal racing. The easiest way to ensure that a team that wins two races progresses is to increase the points for winning. Points should only be used to separate teams for only winning one race. Football have the away goal rule that, I think, is negated if a team wins both home and away games.
