Thanks for answer, didn't realize they had went to this format. And you are right, it CLEARLY states the rules on their website, including how they invert six in the heats so the fastest qualifier starts outside of row one of the first heat......
seems pretty clear with that explanation.
WEEKLY RACE NIGHT PROCEDURES
Race Night Lineup Point Structure
We use a point system to determine our feature lineups for all sprint car classes on weekly race nights. Drivers start with time trials and are awarded the following points:
Time Trials - 1. 200; 2. 198; 3. 196; 4. 194; 5. 192; 6. 190; 7. 188; 8. 186; 9. 184; 10. 182;
11. 180; 12. 178; 13. 176; 14. 175; 15. 174; 16. 173; 17. 172; 18. 171; 19. 170; 20. 169; etc.
Heats have an invert of six, with quick time starting outside row one of the first heat, second quick starting outside of row three of the second heat, and so on.
Drivers are awarded points for their heat finishes:
Heats - 1. 100; 2. 97; 3. 94; 4. 91; 5. 88; 6. 85; 7. 82; 8. 79; 9. 76; 10. 73; 11. 70; 12. 67.
The driver accumulating the most points through qualifying and the heat race, will draw for a feature lineup invert. The invert options are 0 (high point man starting on the pole), 4 (starting the feature outside row two), 6 (starting the feature outside row three) and 8 (starting the feature outside row four). The second highest driver in points will start on the same row inside, third highest in points will start outside the row in front of them, and so on.
Drivers starting outside the invert will line “heads up” by their point totals. Starting with the B main, drivers will be lined up by their qualifying time.

Actually not 100% clear. If "heats have an invert of six", why is quick time starting " outside of row one on the first heat"? Shouldn't he be "starting outside of row three", like it says for "second quick" on Heat 2?
Or is this just a typo?

Why do you gave to get so offended at a simple question? The first thing you said was "look it up". That should be enough. Or just answer it....

OK, i checked. If it was typo, it was on the part of Knoxville website & not one of our Hosehead scholars.
Somebody should let them know....

That's why it's a complete waste of time checking these inaccurate websites when we can just ask questions on the forum and get the real facts. Just wish those knowledgeable scholars would share their wisdom without the drama.

care what most of you think!

You guys have been looking at this all wrong. Most of you are reading his username as Rod in Canada, like he's some dude named Rod living in Canada. I figured this out, he's actually a huge fan of the sculptor Rodin and he lives in Canada. What was Rodin's most famous sculpture??
That's right, The Thinker!
It all makes perfect sense now. He paying homage to his favorite sculptor in his username, and has truly become the embodiment of the real Hosehead's thinker. Deep cut there, Keyser Soze.

You know, that's so far out there in left field that it almost warrants applause!

That is funny. Never heard of Rodin before but I really think you guys are just envious you can't enjoy snow for 6 months of a year, so you spend your time at sprint races to keep your mind off of it.

care what most of you think!

Is the chassis the same from 305 to 360 to 410?
|
Yes they are all the same. Most tracks do not allow 305 to have titanium, and diff. tires, but chassis are all the same.

You need to read the IMCA 305 Racesaver Rules. (They are a joke for cost savings).
Most any use of titanium is allowed.
Plus everyone needs to read the current issue of Sprint & Midget Magazine and read Brady Bacon's column.
He shows just how stupid the rules and to race a 305 are by stating a 305 sprint car is an Outlaw roller with a 305 engine.
Now that is a cost saving division. Only for the tracks in the purse payout.
