Carpet qual points, especially on the new rug are a terrible idea. After practice, based on the sauce used today, track conditions are consistent from round 1 to round 4. Especially at races like Vegas, Snowbirds, The Halloween Classic, and US Indoor Champs. The reason TQ's reset in the last round is that everyone has come to grips with the track. In cases where the track did actually change from round to round, is it good to have someone in the show whose car was awesome for the two rounds the grip was crap, okay enough to stay in the 10 in round three, but is a complete crapwagon for round 4 and the main? Qual points is horrible logic imho. 3 a's make sense though.
