Agreed. You can't beat the SPEEDweeks format (Well except for the following weeks with all the Moto races!)

I wish they would make the All Star race & All Star Open race lineups by a qualifying race. Use the same format as the Twins, instead of determing inside & outside rows, have one race with for the All Star participants and one for the Open participants to determine their starting positions.

Atleast for the Open All Star race. Have all Open participants race a 25 lap race locking in the Top 15 eliminating the rest. Let those 15 race the Open for 2 automatic entries and 1 vote in for the All Star Race.

I would like to see the grid for the Duals inverted and teams given the option to run their back up car. If you bring back just the steering wheel, so what, you still have the primary for the race.

Not Robby's problem anymore. I wouldn't put him in a car without that check from Extenze clearing up front.
