NER went to that format on when we got a memorial day date a couple of years ago. It quickly became our biggest event.
This year every regional will have one qualifying session and then race all other session of the weekend.

Yes, love the one practice, three race format (two sanctions). The Sunday morning race was my 4th race to keep my license without a waiver one year.

I've never been in a qualifying race... how do they decide on the starting grid for a qualifier?
I would be concerned about the possibiity of other drivers making bonehead race moves during the quilifier and causing accidents.. just to get a better spot on the grid. (example would be the ITB Volvo at VIR that had "brake problems", yet bonzaid 1, t-boneing an ITA car.
I would rather have a 25 or 30 min qualifier, as opposed to having a 10-15 min practiece and 10-15 min qualifier.

To me, 25 - 30 minutes for qualifying is a waste of time. Get out there and get the job done, then begin racing! I'd prefer a short qualifying then as many races as possible and don't care if it has to be called a qual race or a standard race for whatever reasons.

Good format.

Doesn't really matter much, but for the "Double in a Day" we used at Nelson this year it was a random drawing at registration for first qualifying race, the results thereof setting the grid for the first "race" and the results of the "first" race set the grid for the "Second" race.
Worked well and was a ton of fun!
