I like the variety. WoO with its simple efficiency and fairness, ASCoC with just the fast qualifier in each heat being moved to 4th, with the rest straight up, USAC with the 6 car heat invert (two fastest cars in each heat start outside the transfer), all offer something a little different and it's the variety make each of these series' unique. USAC pays championship points in TT/Q, I believe.
TT's are by far my most favorite part of every race program. Watching the drivers vs. the clock and themselves is pure. No BS, it's on the driver and teams to be as fast as possible without stepping over the line, balls out (or the female version of that whatever it is), nobody to blame a subpar effort on. The sound of one car on a track is just icing on the cake. Firm believer that starting 6th in a midget, in a heat where you are the fastest car makes you a better driver in many ways. Also a firm believer that starting on the pole when you are the 6th fastest in the heat makes you a better driver.
There is an echo of the sound of the motors off the walls (maybe off the hills at Huset's) that makes TT/Q's very special. On a side note, you might never know a 410ci Al Parker engine has a different sound at full throttle than most of the others if it weren't for TT's. 
Thanx,

I thought the All Star format inverted all of the top 4 in each heat / group?

Passing points is the worst as far as a fan understanding what is going on and what your particular driver needs to do to make the feature.

Starting this year the All Stars went to each heat being 2nd quick on pole 3rd quick outside front row 4th quick starts 3rd and quick time starting 4th then 5-10th quick in each group starting 5-10. Dash being the fastest qualifier who transfers from heat and heat winner from each heat.
Qualifying against the cars in your heat and that invert/dash allocation is the best so it don't matter if you go out early/middle/late, since you only qualify against those in your heat group.
