As a motocross fan at heart and with the Motocross of Nations coming up in a few months, it got me thinking about how cool it would be if you could take that format and twist it a bit to make it work for Late Model racing.
I won't bore you with how its done in Motocross, but heres how it would work for dirt car racing.
Each state gets 3 drivers to represent their state and each driver gets assigned to group 1, 2, or 3
Each group will qualify then line up in a heat race based on their time.
After all heats are finished, you take the finishes of all drivers representing each state and add them together. You use golf scoring so the fewer points the better you are.
The top 14 teams get to race in 3 main events to determine which state is the best.
Each driver will run 2 main events.
You line up each main event based on your qualifying heat results. The top qualifying team will start each feature with a driver starting P1 and P15, second place team P2 and P16, third place team P3 and P17, etc.
After all main events are complete, add each drivers finishes and drop the teams worst finish, and again the lowest score is your winner.
As stated in the title I know this race would never work out for a number of reasons, but that doesn't mean it can't make for some fun bench racing and break up the some of the normal BS that gets talked into the ground so often. So lets here it. Which state do you think would be the favorite? What would some of the teams look like? Maybe who would be some dark horse picks?
