You must be the only guy excited about heat races. How was the feature?

Hey Murph, Longtime Sioux Falls resident, and Husets fan goer since the '80s.
Miss your funny reports on the old MNRA board

Yup, those were good times. I miss the MNRA board, but the world has changed. Now the internet is all about thumbs down and name calling. Oh, and your mother wears army boots. Am I doing this right?

Serious question- what would you replace it with?
If you skipped the heat races and lined up by time trials, 95% of the time the feature would line up the same and 99% of the time it wouldn't affect who won.

Maybe you're too young to get the reference. Google Airplane! Jive scene.

There needs to be an invert of at least 4, like the allstars used to do and the HL now has. I like the idea of you are the fastest qualifier and yu win your heat you start on the pole of the dash.

Yes, you have to fly to qualify through your heat! That is the way it should be! Being one of the biggest races of the year - earn it instead of it being given to you - the old fashioned way like Smith Barney!

What's the incentive of having a good time trial?

Who cares about Time trials? That is just to line you up for the real racing! Let's see how you race in a crowd! If you are that fast you should be able to come up through the field even in a 10 lap heat race!

You really can't do that either. You could miss the inversion!

The old Royal format was the dumbest in racing. Qualify 36th, win your heat and start on the pole! Idiotic. The wheel of misfortune which I believe will determine the invert after time trials makes it way better, should eliminate a lot of the sandbagging.

I think it shows once and for all that the WoO's 4 freebie rule is killing them. If they could run wherever they wanted, they'd have swept all 5 races instead of 4 of 5. It's a real shame......

How is the 4 freebie rule killing the WoO? The corporation got to control their platinum members' participation in the competition's races and that's what they wanted to do.

This week just proves their strategy, if you want to see the best you need to schedule the WoO or buy a WoO ticket
