Being a Sprint car fan i am HUGE on Points Handicapping... However, u can set a race by points that has so many entries...
I think ALL National Races should have Time Trials.... It would really set the field and would make the fast cars shine a little more...
Time Trial, pull a heat inversion pill 0,4,6 to make it intresting....
Then set the feature up however they want to... time trials would be fun in a slingshot though ive never done it... Maybe next yr.

You have to look at it 2 ways.It really separates the quick from the slow,but if you were a paying fan,would you want to sit through 60 minutes of Time Trials?Also track conditions will change so much from the first car out and the last one out,that sometimes it would really mean nothing at all.

True true Mike,
I am all about Fan support, however, how many people come to see the slingshots? I think its big for the driver...
I think back to how big it felt to actually qualify for the National, how neat it was to race in a Memorial Race at Borgers...
I think time trials would make the race even more intresting and make everyone come out and unload their cars in tip top shape!

its like slingshots getting put on the backburner more and more! that one lindas national every year with the time trials was awsome and everyone who raced had loads of fun nomatter what, one thing you knew when u went to the lindas national was that you would get your moneys worth!! but now its just like any other race! if the 600 micros were allowed to have time trials 2 weeks ago the i think we should to!

You're right. So in the midst of all the track and driver bashing maybe everyone should remember that none of the tracks running slingshots need them and could drop them from the lineup at any time. Hopefully that won't happen.

I do agree there should be time trials, I like how Lindas is getting away from the duel heat races, guys in micros, midgets, whatever dont get duel heats so i think the slingshots as a stepping stone should try to stop that, make the heat races 12 laps and features 30. Run a cash dash and consi's like a regular touring division. I agree with raceray, I think the tracks are trying, give um a break, linda's since they are the bashy here, has the best weekly payoff of any track, dont get the regulars kicked out, we are not a primary division like the 270s or 600s.

I personally contacted them and the word is that if we run TT for the Slingshots the 4 Cyl.will want them as well.If you bring it up at the drivers meeting,you will get your answer.We will see how many fans watch the Slingshots this Sat.I realize the micro's are their drawing classes,but we really have held our own this year and they have been very considerate in the track scheduling so we can have some Friday night Tour races.Our races have been the closest and most exciting this season.I will ask Tom C. about an extra way to qualify,I personally find TT boring as does many race fans.Like I posted earlier it is all the luck of the draw when you get your track time.I realize the National and Southern points are riding on this.
