Let's have a discussion about setting records

[thomas sheehan]

Set a record- get a "first round BYE".....

only a few liked (or understood) my first round bye for all top qualifiers (amount changes every race), but evens out the field after rd 1 (64, 32, 16, 8 cars left) - no more bye runs after first round... sounds complicated, but it's not... anyone watch March Madness??? they went from 64 teams to 68 and have first rd play-in games (same theory).

Both of these reward the high performers with rd 1 byes.
