...the process of grading drivers is always gunna open up a few cans of worms ...is it really necessary..???..Im not real sure if it is or not..

Maybe we set up a dartboard with all the drivers names. Each driver gets a dart. Throw your approved and scrutinised dart at said board and whichever drivers name gets selected/speared by dart will dictate their heat. Dart throwing order will be decided by a lottery.

This is sure way to pick the pointy end of the field.

If there is going to be say 4 heats of 2WD mod class, why not seed 3 fast guys in each of the heats and then fill the rest in so that each of them has to work there way through the field like every other racer has too on any given event, I understand that having them all together brings the level of all the drivers in there group up a notch but at the same time gives them an much easier ride than the guys stuck in the hack heat.

If the cream of the crop are as good as most of us know they are then they should have no problem at all at getting past the slower guys during there heats and be out in front for the 2nd heat and lapping traffic in no time at all, would be a much fairer way to run events rather than have them all in a fast group and have the other heats as just filler heats to help fund the event & trophies.

I remember Billy Easton missing a plane and missing the practice seeding heats and the actual heats at FEMCA a few years back and he had to work his way up from the 512th bump up heat and continued to bump all the way to the A main where he came 2nd to kyle McBride, perfect example of the cream drivers having no issue making the main from any heat if they are good enough

I'll start by saying I dont really care what heat im in..... but why not just do it the same way all other bigger events do. Fastest 3 consecutive practice laps!

You'd be lucky to do three consecutive laps.

Perhaps regrade after the first round of qualifying?

Regrade is after the 2nd qualifier.

You are probably right, but I have you covered old man! And I'll be taking your dollar

Though I would make my 1000th post something meaningful!!

Even in f1 in first quali all cars are out together have to pick your time to set a lap. Can't be that hard if your the drivers are as good as mentioned and I'm also sure slower drivers will be well aware they're slower and get out of the way.
