What Do You Think of This Format?

[In The Gas]

Tri City is going to hot lap and time trials at the same time. Top qualifier draws a 1-6 for invert. I think this is brilliant. Less wear on the track and moves the program through a lot quicker. Seems like you could do this with all classes if the track uses transponders. Hope it works out for them. Brownstown, you might want to give this format a shot!

The Kokomo Klash (Indiana) did that. It was a first for me, but I think as long as there are not too many cars on the track at once and enough laps given, why not? I'd rather have that than waiting in line for a one lap qualifying run.

I like the idea, even though it looks like a page out of the nascar book. although the cost could be a problem. how much does a transponder cost?

Tyler co been doing this the past 2 years , it works out fine.

I think most tracks require them so there would not be any additional charge.

While I don't think it's a bad idea for fans, racers might not like it. Hot laps are not hot laps if it determines where you start in the heat. Can't really shake a car down and get a feeling for he track when you are worried about time. All things said, I'm positive it will work out fine. That seems like a well run track.

I like it, maybe others will do the same

no it doesn't just changes the format they haven't time trailed on a regular night in YEARS I think I might know been going there since 1962 how about you

in the st Louis area transponders cost no thing to the teams unless they are damaged by use of a hammer or such

I hate boring time trials. Thus, if you are going to do them, then during hot laps is the way to go.

I agree plus with more than likely a little higher car count since belleclaire is running sunday night we guess it might help out the the program that way also I just hope the racing is good or better

[fastford]

no where I race requires them, and if they did , I doubt they would pay for them, so how much ?

[LITE-INN]

The track has to invest in the time and money also laying down sensers and such

Fast, it's a one time fee of just over a $100 I think if you buy it. A lot of tracks will rent them for a night if you don't own one. Them and the Raceceivers are great improvements in racing. Also help in line up guys not being needed near as much. Makes it safer and saves time. And more fair, it's on a computer, not up to the scorers interpretation. Unless one guy mounts it where they aren't supposed too.

It's a stupid waste of time to time trial on weekly shows. Even if they are timing during hotlaps, it still draws out the show. Tracks can hotlap 8-10 cars at a time. They aren't going to put that many cars on the track when they do hotlap time trials.
