The most fun happens in the 20 minutes before the race in my opinion. Driving into pit walls and what not, seeing who can "fly" the furthest 
Heck maybe we should have a competitive "team demo derby" series, teams of 3 battling it out on random autox tracks. The finale can be a giant arena with obstacles everywhere, maybe knockout rounds... hah heck what am i talking about... by the way are we ever going to finish that FMR mrt series?ANYWAY. I'd probably race both the MNR and AAL series if I didn't have to work on mondays. Personally I like sprint races [a little bit more then the "long slogs" of the aal], but only because its more about brute pace then strategy. No need to worry about split differences, pace vs tyre wear, fuel usage, all that sort of crap, just flog the balls off the car for 20 minutes at a time and if hope your faster then the next bloke. If you take the AAL races as single events some of the actual races have been pretty damn good, I had some of my most enjoyable battles over the last 1.5 series. Its a different form of excitement though. On the topic of these 'progressive' series I think it was just trying to stand out from the crowd by offering something different. I dont mind it, I always like the challenge of learning a new combo [or car]. But I can understand why people are less interested then usual.
). As you will see in coming months MNR is also trying some new stuff, in the name of not letting it go stale.
