Actually we haven't figured out how your brain works yet! LOL

Run the qualis and best 2 count via quali points. This puts you into a main with people your speed. Once the mains start for a class we will run the entire class before going to another class. This is possible since there aren't bump ups from main to main. Also it will keep everyone in that class on the same track conditions, as much as possible. Once the class is over everyone will be ordered by there lap count/runtime. As one person suggested on another forum Rocket mains. LOL

The big thing is everyone in the class runs the same length main and has the same chance to win the class.

So basically it doesnt matter which main you run it you still have a chance to win the whole class... thats what I was thinking but wanted to confirm...


I dont think anyone can figure out how my brain works..... not even the men in the white coats that always give me the "hug myself" jacket...

Exactly.

Now the question comes up of does it matter what main you run in? A couple ways to look at that. If your really fast and are in a main where everyone else is traffic is that better than running in a main where everyone is about the same speed?
So why even use qualifying? It's better than a random draw to put you into a main plus gives a chance to work out bugs etc that always happen so your as ready as possible for your main.

I agree... We used to do a random drawing in kart racing.... I hated it... So qual points on the qualifiers and then best race time in the mains sets the finishing order.... This is gonna be ALOT of fun!!!!!!
