Where you qualify is very important

[Brad Zaskowski]

Another way would be to just have 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 car fields based on car count rounding down from the actual car count....

Bring some performance back to our classes and there would only broke opponent bye runs most likely after first round

27 cars in the class make it a 16 car field, no bye runs, 11 cars dnq and 11 cars available for alternates.

33 cars in the class make it a 32 car field, no bye runs, 1 car dnq and available as alternate.

73 cars in the class make it a 64 car field, no bye runs, 9 cars dnq and 9 cars available for alternates.

This one would suck- got 127 cars round down to the 64 car field, no bye runs, 63 cars dnq and 63 cars available as alternates.

I'm sure THAT would work wonders for car-counts!

Why not just leave it alone?

I don't think that he was either, he was just making a point.
The point I am trying to make is that the average 5 tenths under Racer isn't going to show up to try and qualify for a 7 tenths under field.

[Charley Downing]

I think its time we remove our selfs from the 60's and 70's.

iam all for 64 car fields at all pts races and nationals events. I think INDY should stay a 128 car field. The car counts are bad now so whats the difference. All you cry baby old time racers already have 20 reasons why you don't race. So whats one more?

[Ed Wright]

Hard to bring "performance" to a bracket race.

[Charley Downing]

Ed if you lower the number of available qualify spots won't that bring the performance level back up.
This sport is not for everyone and has always been about who will spend the most money to go fast.
And yes this sport is not fair.

CB, There were qualified only fields in the 70's too..Sanair for one.

Here's one from the 80's> All Class winners plus fill in with low qualifiers, 64 car fields, except for Indy (128)
Want to bring performance back? There ya go..
