Since ratings are dropping I have an idea that may make people watch more. Most people seem to LOVE this way of doing things, and they even jump on you when you say it's wrong.... but here goes. With 5 races to go, reset the field again, bunch them all up with 5 points separating each guy. Then with 2 races left, reset the points again, this time 2 points apart. Then on the final race, give them all the points lead. During the last race, with 100 laps to go, bunch them all together and even out the points again. With 25 laps to go, do it again. With only 5 laps to go, well, you know... Pull a flat bed trailer right out onto the racetrack directly parallel to the finish line with the band Nickleback playing their top hits. Have 5 different sort of famous singers doing their best rendition of the National Anthem, in traditional "Row Row Row Your Boat style. Hell, let's even bring out some female mud wrestlers on turn two, place some WWF fighters knocking the hell out of each other in turn four, heck let's even bring in Jason and Grant from The Ghost Hunters to look for some ghosts on the back stretch. All the while the drivers have to dodge all this as they reach speeds of 180mph. Fireworks will be going off for the last 4 laps signifying that the points have been reset yet again! Then let's have a 4 lap shoot out. May the "best" driver win. I think that should do it. Football Schmootball. |
really think that you would need to add something to give the whole deal
a little action and suspense. :-)

Clearly, you are a genius. Let's make that happen

I'm all over the idea of having Nickback play. Keep going... Have 5 different sort of famous singers doing their best rendition of the National Anthem, No! That would only bring about the onslaught of comments here at the Lake... in traditional "Row Row Row Your Boat style. Hell, let's even bring out some female mud wrestlers on turn two, Sweet! place some WWF fighters knocking the hell out of each other in turn four, heck let's even bring in Jason and Grant from The Ghost Hunters to look for some ghosts on the back stretch. All the while the drivers have to dodge all this as they reach speeds of 180mph. Fireworks will be going off for the last 4 laps signifying that the points have been reset yet again! Then let's have a 4 lap shoot out. Nope - can't do it. Three laps only. Green, white, checkered. |

Trying to convey my total hatred for the stupid unfair Chase system.
