Q: Rick, you’re the pole leader here, you have the pole record, was this the format, would you have added a few poles? How do you think that would have probably worked out, how would you have liked having this format back when you were driving?
RICK MEARS: You know, at the end of the day, I don’t think it would change as far as … it does give the a couple other guys maybe a couple other shot at that time, it but it still boils down to the same thing: The guy that put the best car and the best four laps is the guy that’s going to sit on the pole.
I think having another shot at it doesn’t necessarily mean you can gain what you need a lot of times. So I don’t think it really changes much in that respect. It’s still going to boil down to whoever would have gotten it one way is probably the same guy that’s going to get it the other way.
