I think that having the B 450 group first is not fair to all the riders that ride the whole series. Especially the privateers. I mean to have Ryan Dowd post a lap time of 208.9 on his 2nd lap, puts him in 7th. Ahead of Josh Grant. Seely and a host of other great riders, factory riders.
I am not taking anything away from Ryan, But riders like John Short that have been in the top 20 at most of the races is 6 seconds slower because the track is beat?
I know FLAME on, this is my first post, but been in this industry for a minute.

You make a fair point BTW

So one race it works out to their advantage.
Leave it alone.
It's the same at every track. So, those locals have the same opportunities.

There seems to be no way around the A/B qualifier dilemma. Most weeks the B (if there is a is at a disadvantage.
The schedule is the same at every race and one time a year there is a discrepancy which may or may not affect a small and hard to define group of "privateers"...
Go find some sand and get better in it or just realise it's the same for everyone, at every track. Once a year it's a fucker, but it's a fucker for everyone and seriously, is the solution just reverse it for one race a year to overcome a perceived advantage for dudes who are battling? Who cares.

Still, it's just Southwick as you say... Who cares.
