The thought of a Rhode Island Red behind the wheel, crowing angrily at the aliens who managed to find their way into the GTAL was good for a good 15 second belly laugh.

This series offers the 'competent but not elite' drivers some good races. The road cars used are not especially difficult to drive, and the elite drivers that are in the series have been generous with sharing sets.
I agree with Branislav here. When I look at the replay, #4 was along the wall, running straight, then a sharp 90 degrees. Given the pinball effect of the ensuing crash, there (IMHO) must have been lag involved.
A 10 minute pre-race show could be produced, along with some 30 second segments during the race for the slow spots, ie a couple of pre-recorded interviews, a presentation of the XRT, highlights of last years race.
Time is likely running short to do a whole lot of production for this years race, but something to think about for next year's event and this years 500.
The top 2 hotlappers are in. The top 11 of the twin races are in. The 6 fastest times that didn't race their way in, are in.
That's the quick and dirty explanation as I understand it. There is a bit of a tricky point with the top two guys' placing in the 115s don't count (their place in the 250 is secure).
Racing your balls off in the qualifying will definitely be a good idea.
This is the fastest hotlap (qualifying time) who didn't race into the 250 by placing in the top 11 in their respective twin duel race.
The 6 fastest hotlaps (qualifying times) qualify for the 250 (again, that didn't race their way in).
So what you see is 25=grid position. .. Provisional 1 means fastest qualifying time (who didn't race their way in).
The provisional places will be revealed after the two 115 races. (I assume).
(Answering the question mostly to make sure I understand as well).
