Re: Indy Class Pairings
F/X cars race each other and then MAYBE a nhra factored" right "car could meet a nhra-F/X-car in the finals--Really who cares until the H/P is right on all cars or at least close to what they should be! Go Buckwheat-

Re: Indy Class Pairings
It does not matter who runs who. Either I'm in the way or your in the way!! Lets race, I'm easy, for I have no new parts.

Re: Indy Class Pairings
When I went to Indy a few years ago, I had the other drivers of the cars in my class flip a coin to see who got me 1st round!

Re: Indy Class Pairings
remember Rock if you do a ladder , better have the cars paired up before you get to the lanes and one guy not wanting to do it, NHRA will tell you to line up and run cause they will not do a ladder or pair you up.
Been there tried it |

Re: Indy Class Pairings
Drawing straws,or picking numbers from a hat is the way its been done for many years at Indy.Usually the fast guy will get the bye if there is one.Half the guys are sandbagging by 2 or 3 tenths anyway so why make a ladder!

Re: Indy Class Pairings
Wow,it took 16 posts before anyone mentioned the dreaded word "sandbagging".I guess there's so much rage against the new cars clear thinking goes out the window.
I guess NHRA likes this "class warfare". between the haves and have nots.It takes the pressure off the Glendora Gang to have the HP factors put in line. If everybody feels so strong about these cars it seems they have some options. 1)Try to hop your car up in class and hope you have enough to make the 128 car field. 2)Sit out class and just try to make the final 128. 3)Stay home and beat up the dog/wife/kids In other words take your wrath out on the REAL culprits the manufacturers and,sorry Jack,the suits in Glendora,not you fellow racers.And yes,I'm not going to Indy,never have and probably never will. Jeff,why don't you bring the old car and make a lot of people happy.I'm sure your popularity rating would soar.:>):>):>):>)

Re: Indy Class Pairings
Ed, like I have said, I didn't change, I only changed cars cause everybody beat the crap out of me. What's different? I still drink the same beer, and still tell the same lies.

Re: Indy Class Pairings
Will Nitro Joe be doing the ladders and pairings? He gets it and understands the program (not to mention likeable). We don't have a preference how the pairings should go down but all options presented has it's teeth. I read earlier where the officials won't wait and will do the easiest to get everyone in pairs. Don't blame them. They have enough to do so let's make this fun and efficient. Vote for JOE!
