Heats vs time trials  

I grew up in New Jersey and moved to Memphis, TN in the late sixties. In this area it's always been time trials or draw for position. Some tracks did double draws. All the tracks ran heats though. West Memphis did time trials for all classes, inverted for the heats, the feature had you start where you finished in the heat. Naturally, the heats were the best races. The tracks that drew had the features start the way the finished in the heats. Double draws were like going to the casino.
   Racing around here is really dead. Only a few tracks operating and low car counts. I race back in the early nineties at three tracks within an hour drive. The Sunday night track had rediculous car counts. They split the street stock class into two classes after one night when 77 of them showed up!
