I wrote this a long time ago (45 minutes :-) and didn't send it so it's kind
of out of order in the discussion...
But you've got other classes in the heat...
So, here's how it would work in your heat based on how I would run grid as
chief.

See, there is no huge advantage to running it this way for AS because there
aren't 20 single driver cars. BUT, what it does do is make it possible for
them to run closer together. Granted it's only a couple of minutes but that
can make a difference in KS in September.
Better yet, grid em up that way 46-99, 3-96. Then they are even in the
correct order when the second drivers time comes up.
I guess we should have had this discussion a few months ago because it
doesn't sound like there will be any change.
: Also, did anyone notice Mark Sirota's email on the grid
: revisions coming out? The 1st paragraph
: reads:
:
: > D.6. The Grid Chief shall have the discretion to determine

: > order within class, fairness to drivers of both single-driver and

Sure, it basically says it doesn't matter what the rules say. But I'd still
like to know before I get to grid how it is supposed to run.
