Winning: Then vs. Now  

The time trials thing, starting up front, ruins racing. I've seen the greatest dirt modified driver, by numbers, come to a handful of STSS shows when you drew for the heats and DNQ'd, multiple times.  The idea is to be the fastest, but the idea as a promoter is to make it entertaining and that DON"T MIX!

Like John Mc said, the tail is wagging the dog.  I go to races or watch on TV and enjoy for all I can now and don't ever see it changing. BUT, the days when guys started in the back and won was usually the car was much more superior than the one's he's passing. They were great drivers, but most of the great drivers drove great cars and for a reason.

I don't see a fix or change, so enjoy what you can.
