don,t think we need them highest points and run offs,this way it makes it easier for drivers as to know where they stand after qualifying,and makes it easier to work out other tiers,also drivers are ready to go for finals,and not having to repair any damaged due to repercharge the next nite  if you can get the right number out of the groups,i.e.6 cars from 5 groups makes your 30 no need for repercharge  |

No, a driver takes out a top driver to help out a club mate knowing full well it will cost him one way or another, only to have that top driver get through in a repecharge. That is just wrong on every level. Every driver in a contact class expects to be stopped from time to time in Championships, no way should there be a second chance.

If he's still high enough on points to qualify for the repechage, and he can win the repechage from way back on the grid - let's say grid 17 - he's a darn good driver, and has earned and fully deserves his place in the finals. Personally I'd rather see that than action packed qualifying heats and a couple of drivers puttering around, picking up lowly placings but qualifying purely due to three finishes whilst another driver could win two heats and suffer a DNF and not get through. Three 9th placed finishes, even if a lap or two down, beats two firsts and a DNF. I'm more than happy to see the latter guy get a second chance. Barry B |

You don't get second chances once the finals have started so why should you get a second chance to qualify.

If they have them they should be on first night, as it is still qualifying.

Well i dont think anyone who might have been puttering around at the 240s would have lasted very long, you saw the speed and commitment, now how likely is it that your scenario, (Ie qualifying by puttering around and getting 3 finishes) would happen in that sort of class and company? |

Does raise a point though, how can you win a heat and not get thru? Maybe there should be auto qualification for heat winners regardless of the other two race results...dont the yanks say "fewer races, less damage" and "try to race as little as possible to qualify"!!
