Making an "off of the ground" rule would breed a judgement call much as the previous rule did. I'm not going to get into that.
I'll likely do exactly this.. having not missed a race on TV or Radio (or in person) in almost 10 years.
Only I'll probably cut out the All-Star race. That race has never ment much of anything to me.
Exactly!
1 = 60
2 = 50
3 = 45
4 = 43
5 = 41
6 = 39
7 = 37
(rest the same as before)
No chase, and be done with it. Makes every win matter
OR just give 10 bonus for a win. The chase makes the first 26 less exciting to me.. by a large margin. Now the first 35 would be less exciting

2014 Kyoto 400 Qualifying Day Discussion
The 2014 Kyoto 400 qualifying day will begin at 18:00 GMT on Saturday, January 25th. Prior to qualifying there will be an open track practice session lasting an hour which will directly determine the order which drivers roll out for qualifying, and this session will serve as a tie breaker for single car qualifying.
I'd like to call competitor's attention to the damage disqualification rule that was previously announced, because there will be a minor change in this rule. The rule will not be added to the rulebook as it is not in effect for all of our events, but it will be enforced on Kyoto 400 qualifying day and race day. The rule will read as follows:
Discussion of Kyoto 400 qualifying day may be made here. If there are insults or any other unacceptable text it will be removed. Kyoto 400 competitors will be penalized if they are the ones posting such material. If such material becomes a problem everybody will lose the privledge of having public discussion of this event. Do not be the one who ruins it for everybody else.

I just qualified 12th out of 15, watch me finish 15th! 
Fun event so far. If you're not there you're missing out!

It is my opinion that the overwhelming majority of the crashes in this race were caused by drivers who will not have earned enough credits to participate in the Kyoto 400 in two weeks time. I will have the Entry List updated with credits as soon as possible. Tomorrow's session will be the last chance to earn practice session credit.

The server reset overnight, but the password has been reapplied.
Exactly, last year the chase field would have featured Brian Vickers, David Regan and Tony Stewart, but not included Kurt Busch.
Then at the final race in Homestead Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, and Kevin Harvick would have been even as far as points entering.
Tell me how this is fair for racing. Other sports have playoffs so that the championship is decided while playing against your nearest competitor. The Chase was acceptable, but this? You race the same people all year already! How is one race an acceptable measure of a champion? 10 is barely enough in my opinion.
Tomorrow's session has been moved forward 45 min. in order to avoid conflict with Rony's AWD series. Didn't mean to do that Rony

No, they implemented a rule. They still have to give 100%, and they still have to follow the rules.

A few comments that I have after viewing the session
1. Despite the messy result, there was quite a bit of tight competition. The cautions were few compaired to the amount that there could have been, and would have been with fields in years past of the Kyoto 400 when the tightness of the field is considered.
2. With that being said, we can always be better. I made a mistake when I didn't throw the caution immediately when the leading pack wrecked exiting turn one on the final lap. This caused a bigger incident than what it should have, and the race was already decided. My mistake, but you as competitors could learn from your mistakes as well as I did that one. Go back and look at instances where you were involved in contact and acknowledge the mistakes that you made. Remember that you can only control your actions. Don't try to control other's actions. Control your's!
3. Let's keep enjoying this. I love holding these events when you guys are enjoying them, and I hate it when you aren't. In the end there is only one winner (unless there's a tie ), but let's make sure that we are all winners in a figurative way. Let's walk away from these sessions and events as better drivers and in as happy a way as possible. Every event I've been a part of is left in arguments over the last year or so(Our's or NDR's), which means that you guys are passionate, but don't let that get in the way of the fun, and don't let it take the fun out of it for others.

There will be a double credit practice session this Saturday around 18:00 GMT. It will likely be 200 miles however.
There will also be a practice session on Sunday, and I'm going to try to have one Monday. All of these will be around 18:00 GMT (give or take some time). Replays are in hand for this session, but I haven't had time to post them here, and session credits will be updated once again when I have time to update the list.
The entry list is current through session #4.

I look for Johnson to win his 7th, and the 3 to do well in the 500. Beyond that, who knows. Hopefully the new trucks will not reduce the quality of racing in that series. I also hope that the 2014 Cup package will produce less aerodynamic push.
I also hope to see less fake debris cautions

Drive through peanlty issued to entry number 62 for causing an avoidable incident. 62 failed to give car number 75 room to traverse the corner in a respectable manner resulting in contact and a spin for car number 75.

Drive through penalty issued to the #33 entry for a dangerous rejoin which resulted in a collision with car number 25.
Entry number 30 also receives a drive through penalty for avoidable contact which resulted in the initial incident with the 33.
