    World Finals

    12-13 car heat races that run 8 laps
    19 car B-Mains that run 8 laps

    I get that they need to keep the show moving with the number of cars there, but there are local tracks that run more laps. It's made being ultra aggressive to pass as many cars as you can on the opening lap so critical.
    Sprint cars had 1 B and got 10 laps.

    Pay more money for less laps. I miss the days of 12-lap heat races and 15-lap B mains.

        B mains with 19 cars and 8 laps? Not very encouraging to even bother starting if you're in the back half of the field. Do like the big heat race fields but, again, eight laps ain't much.

            The late model fields need to be split on the preliminary nights. It will never be done for obvious reasons though.

              I'm not sure why you show up if you don't have a provisional. If you don't qualify well, you're screwed the entire weekend. Not enough laps to come through the field.

                For big field events I really prefer an alphabet soup type of format. Instead of 3 b mains with 20ish cars each, either have more b mains or do an E main and forward each with fewer cars so a guy has a shot to move forward. Say 12 cars for 8 laps, then you have a shot to advance & do it again the next race. Adds a few laps but probs not much more time cause a 12 car field isn't gonna have as many cautions as 20 car fields.

                  I agree that they need to look at the format a bit, but really think adding laps is the easiest answer. Packed grandstands and more than enough cars, just need to adjust a small amount in my opinion. Fans get to see the three 'premier' forms of dirt racing on all three nights (plus qualifying night as a bonus), add to that they are not competing against any other series events (draws all the big names, not just half). End of the day if the racers and fans continue to show up they must be doing something right, they will never please us all...
