Also, these tires cost some coin and the extra run time, especially when they are overheated will mean that they get destroyed quicker. We set up our cars for 5 or 6 minutes in qualifying so I feel racing the main should be of similar time which is why I posted what I would prefer a few posts back.

The reason I would rather have normal race lengths in both qualifiers and mains is so we could keep the 3 qualifiers that Kody mentioned in the original post. These series have had big turnouts in the past and I would think that it will have big turnouts now.

Great point. Tires are gonna be expensive this summer VTA Pillows FTW! 3 qualifiers gives plenty of track time as well hehe.
