I'd make one change. The heat winners pick spots 1-4. The 2nd place finishers pick spots 5-8. It might make the battles for the heats a bit more interesting and doesn't allow for a guy who sets quick time and wins his heat to be "rewarded" with starting 8th in the dash.

I had a similar idea where there's now just 4 pills marked 1/5, 2/6, 3/7, 4/8 with the chance of still a shake up from the time trials order, but not having any of this win your heat after a great qualifying setup and drawing the 8 straight away while Brad qualifies a 4th starting spot, gains 2 spots, and gives himself a choice of 3-4 pills rather than 8. Very low odds drawing later that the top 2 rows are already gone. It's really the new version of sand bagging.

i look at the posse vs outlaws thing as a gimmick from the race promotors and sanctioning groups to get people fired up and out to the race. it's fun to root fo the pa guys...but doesn't bother me at all when they lose. it's cool they can even say they have a chance. what other form of racing...or sports for that matter...shows up in your neighborhood with the absolute best in their sport and goes head to head with the guys you watch every week?
it should...and already does...sell itself so i tune out all the posse vs outlaws stuff.
the highlight of the year for me was danny dietrich getting second at eldora. really impressive what he did out there.

Let me clarify, it's the heat finishers, So say Heat 1 draws the 3/7 pills then the Heat Winner gets the 3rd spot, 7th spot goes to the 2nd place H1 finisher. Didn't think I'd have to explain that since I was replying to the suggestion of P1 in the heats draw 1 through 4, and P2 draw 5 through 8. Then the smaller shows (3 heats, 6 car dashes) draw all 6 spots individually.

Kudos to the Grove for adding $25k to the purse this year. Paying $25k for 2nd and $10k for 3rd is a big improvement from years past.

Posse is fast.
Not much passing first night. Larson wasn't that good just started up front. Showed he wasn't that good 2nd night.
Marks had them covered again, was just a little too fast. Couldn't get whoa'd up in time for lap car.
Posse will spank World of Also-Rans at Port this weekend.
They don't even know how to spell sprint car
much less chromoly...http://www.ycmco.com

I have been trying not to chime in on this passing issue at the Grove both nights.
Friday was by far the better racing and I mean by far.
Lets compare the passing both nights. Friday there was a bottom of the race track. Saturday you had to do the slider for life to make any type of passes.
Friday 10.1.21
Freddie - 26th to 7th - Hard Charger
DD - 21st to 8th
Macedo - 22nd to 10th
Mcfadden 24th to 14th
Peck 20th to 12th
Saturday 10.2.21
Sweet -19th to 10th - Hard Charger
Macedo - 6th to 1st
Larson - 13th to 8th
So please tell me again how the racing was so much better Saturday than Friday? The track wasn't even close to having a bottom on Saturday night.

About the passing stuff. I watched the highlights from one of the Port Royal nights. There was 2 or 3 passes every lap in 3 or 4 car groupings containing multiple cars, but the same guy crossed the line first most of the time. My point is if you look at a stat sheet you cant tell if the positional splits were by seconds or thousandths or how many passes took place in 1 and 2 just to be undone in 3 and 4.
Port looked exciting on my computer in my living room from my couch....
Even though I may not know you, I
care what most of you think!

Do you know why? The track was very well prepared. Both nights none of the laptimes were in the 17 to 18 second bracket on the first night and the second night the timese were in the 16 to 17 for the features. The norm for that place is usually somewhere in the high 19 to high 20 second bracket for lap times in the feature.....it is like watching grass grow when the cars are that slow.
You know what Razor Steve would say.....you can't have a good race if it is tacky. WRONG and WRONG again Razor Steve, but what else is new!!

The first night at Port Royal looked like it had a lot of passing for the lead. The second night, not so much.

They have medication for bi-polar disorder.
Are you complementing the track you hate for good track prep or complaining?

You'll get that answer when the Winged Speed personality takes over for his turn at the wheel.

2 great nights of racing! Just pray to god next weekend at another track in PA hosting the outlaws is just prepped correctly or it rains the mornings of the races.

Very good track at the Port Saturday night. No half throttle around the bottom. Again LD and the 69k cannot contend when it is anything other than a skating rink.

Exactly. Track didn't start getting racy until the end of the A main on Saturday. It was a time good, draw good and set sail on the cushion, slot car horsepower track. Strawser would have loved it.

Posse smoked also-rans 2nd night at Port. First night Madsen saved the sweep by a legendary show of blocking.
