I F M A R starts or heads up
ok after a heated debate with one of my racing pals I thought I would do this and ask this question.
Which do you the racer prefer at big races???
heads up start qualifing or
I F M A R starts ???? ( for qualifing)

IFMAR. I like starting heads up for the main (what would be the point of an IFMAR start in a main?) but I think the IFMAR starts give everyone a better shot at a clean qualifier.

Around here (NorCal) we do Heads-Up all the time, everywhere. Its supposed to build driver skill but in my heats thats just more cars that are able to take me out (And...ironically enough, they do!)
I'll race either way...but IFMAR style gets my vote

IN 19 turn, Mod & Expert Stock its really no problem...but in Novice and Stock (I'm a stock boy) its a real problem
In mains its really not a problem (because the field usually gets seperated well enough from A to B) but in the heats...it can get hairy

We use IFMAR for qualifying and heads up for mains also. Qualifying is just that its not a race. Its nice to be spread out. Thats the idea anyhow. Ive seen a slow start where the last guy to go is about to get lapped by the first guy already.
I personally dont like qualifying much. Id rather have heat races and set up the grid for the main that way.
