I'd be upset if I was running for the championship and I missed a race because of a problem in qualifying.

A little story: I raced in AMA sometime ago. I was @ Daytona trying to qualify for a spot in the 250 GP class, I took a 3rd the day before in a previous 250 GP race. In the qualifying session I had a engine problem. Even though I was 3rd or 4th fastest of all the 250 bikes in Practice and took a 3rd the day before, the AMA sent me packing back to PA. Quafifying only matters if you DO qualify.

Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you! It should be, if you don't qualify, you don't race when the region over books the events. End of discussion.
