Also what is the point of so many qualifying runs if eliminations are going to be decided by luck of the draw instead of fastest time running slowest, second fastest running second slowest, etc. I barely made it for one of the elimination runs along with another V6 buddy who was waiting for the call with me right under a speaker. We came the first time we heard the call but I suspect we may have missed one call somehow. They had already run everyone but us 2 when we arrived in the lanes. That would have been a very short time to wait for folks to arrive given the size of the venue and the difficulty hearing announcements.



I thoroughly enjoyed the event except for the heat, but there is always room for improvement.
There were a couple of reasons for random draw (1st round only, then laddered by qual runs). We had an extra 80 cars over last year and with so many new folks it was crazy trying to pair them up in round one. #2 we removed the shop cars to improve competition and to do that the random pair in round one enabled them to back out without a bunch of bye runs.
