FTD qualifying would have placed me 6th on the grid based on my best run, qual points left me 11th. Won the B by a full lap+. Qual points reward the upper end of the order, but if you're a good driver with a shot at a good result, who happens to get stuck in crap heat by luck of the draw, more often than not, you're screwed. I say RESORT after every round, FTD format.
3 of 4 counting was the problem in this instance. I also like the resort every round, or certainly after 2 and seeding of the heats as well.
I see no real issue surfacing with 2 of 4 rounds counting...such as how it currently is at ROAR Paved National Events.
