Anyone watching Qualifying Heats from Iowa?
------
This format could have been done better. Maybe a way for heat winners to  go for the pole.


------

rain delays make me think. I propose the following heat format.
practice times or current season points determine if a driver is in the odd or even group.

The top 4 from the odd and even group go on to the pole qualifier (PQ).

The next 4 in each heat go to the last chance qualifier.

The remainder are placed on the grid.

The top 2 in the last chance go to PQ.

The PQ of course determines the top 10 on the grid.

30 lap heats seemed about right.

racing in the heats is emcouraged by having heat prizes even if it is a pit crew pizza party.

ok now lets clean up Dario's car and go green.

I wish I could be there but alas I am working this weekend - I will be watching.  Some thoughts: I have not seen this kind of promotion for a race in Milwaukee for ages.  Wow even before the split they didn't promote like this on local news, radio, a car show, ads.  On top of that they moved the race to Saturday to avoid Fathers Day conflicts.  I really hope people show up.

of Le Mans 24 Hours 2012

Quick, obvious thoughts before the race:


"Road to Le Mans" The Toyota documentary is very much worth watching.


LMP1 - An Audi diesel will win.  The Audi eTron's flywheel has more racing history than the Toyota hybrid but look for a tough fight.  I think the Toyota will finish, but even if they do not, they have something to be proud of - a brand new car in 9 months and a whole year ahead of schedule.


GT - You know I am rooting for the Corvettes.


Delta Wing - go Go GO!  What a cool story - an engineers doodles to mock up to reality!  It doesn't get better than that.


Let's have a safe race.
