How many races does a top guy get a great start and his main rivals are buried and that decides the whole race?
When the top guys all start together how awesome and rare is that?! It's like wow here we go it's on.
Why not take a look at the starting gate.
Right now if you qualify first or last the only difference is where on the gate you get to pick. Last place guys still have nearly the same chance of a Hole shot despite qualifying last.
I say make the gate diagonal. First place pick is on the inside, second place is one over and six inches back, and each position is six inches behind the next.
This would to my eye give a more distinct advantage to the better qualifying spots, allowing the top guys to all start together and thus less races getting wrecked before the second turn.
Also we should consider black flagging lappers after maybe 2+ laps down, or having a 106% rule like f1 did. The Lappers are downright dangerous and confusing trying to figure out positioning on the race track for many viewers.
