Three 50 mile heat races to set the field for a 250 mile feature would have been my idea.

e- Just to clear it up, you'd split the field in three parts based on qualifying times and have three separate "races". I'd also allow backups to be used for the feature but make them automatically tag the rear.

The NASCAR thing, as the guys who are in the Facebook groups with me will attest, stems from the fact that there's still a ton of NASCAR fans who are brand loyal and root for people who drive specific manufacturers. Win on Sunday sell on Monday isn't really a thing like it was, but there are absolutely a large number of NASCAR fans who root for Ford and have Fords in the driveway. Also, unlike this motley crew of idiots we have here, a majority of those people only watch NASCAR.

Random quote from Smokey Yunick about Jim Rathmann,

"And I never liked men who read comic books while they were getting a blow job."

Smokey is quite quotable.

Smokey has a chapter in his book about the 51 drivers who drove for him.

It's titled "50 great drivers and 1 rear end in a top hat"

This is revisionist nonsense to make NASCAR guys feel superior, btw.

this is actually true, the Wood Bros really did revolutionize Indy pit stops, teams were doing ~50 second stops and they cut it to 20

Explain how they did this.

Keeping in mind that:
a) The Firestone compounds that year were so hard that cars completed the race without changing tires
and
b) The Wood Bros. only had experience with gas cans in NASCAR, while the new Indy rules required gravity-fed fuel tanks & hoses.

they modified the fuel hose connectors to link up faster and more securely, and practiced fueling all month so that they were aware of the issues with slackness in the hose regarding fuel flow speed

I mean you could read about it or something, tons of books mention this

also there was a reason Ford sent them there and also had them help with the Le Mans program, unless you think that Ford wasn't really serious about racing in the 60's and weren't interested in providing the best tools available to their teams. the Woods literally did the same thing to pit stops in NASCAR, as well
