Well Al, I think I agree with most of what Dave suggests. It's 1050 miles from our door to the track (16 hours for most people, 4 days for us ) That's an expensive tow so I need to feel it's worthwhile. Fun wise as well as payout potential.

A Sat. night first round with a buy back into SP Sunday would make the long tow a lot easier to justify.

Somebody at the meeting this year mentioned the possibility of a quick 32 if other brands were let in. So, maybe put that together with Dave's idea?

If I show up there and have to be irritated the whole weekend about the format, I might not want to go.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a better solution but I do understand the promoter's position from a monetary standpoint.
