Nit picking a little but don't forget points. 10 passing tech,10 for qualify and ten first round. Now what?

I assume this is the race you are talking about, right?:

Stock Eliminator Qualifying, Final Order

LAS VEGAS - Final order after 3 rounds of qualifying in Stock Eliminator at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Pacific Division, Short Line Express Gambler Shootout at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:

Psn--Num--Class-Driver, Home Town, Machine-----------------ET---Index---(+/-)

1 49 F/SA Jeff Teuton, Houma LA, '09 Challenger 10.957 12.06 -1.103

97 777H BF/S Alan Hoefer, Calimesa CA, '90 Daytona 28.000 14.90 13.100



If you notice on the first qualifying sheet I posted from Friday it says: "Pending Cleanup."

I wasn't there, but it looks like there was a cleanup run scheduled on Friday (like Thursday,) but they didn't get time to run it. So Mike added Brad Burton and Alan Hoefer to the ladder. Maybe Brad can comment on it.

I don't know about you, but if I waited all day for a cleanup run that didn't happen and I didn't get on the ladder I might be a little upset.

Re: What's your opinion on this?
 

Not sure what you're getting at, but I have never seen anybody get 20 points for not showing up for first round. They get 30 points for a first round loss.

Re: What's your opinion on this?
 

Well I have to disagree you get 10 per round made not won. By rule if you pass tech but do not qualify,therefore no 1st round , you get 10 points for that event. Now maybe this has changed. If you do not make 1st rd but qualified, you would receive 20 points for that event. Happened to me before.

Re: What's your opinion on this?
 

Must have been a long time ago when it happen to you. Like I said, I have never seen a 20 pointer in the points details. Maybe you can give us a link?

Re: What's your opinion on this?
 

I don't know the exact why and how but, there are several drivers in the national superstock points with 10 and 20 points respectively. I imagine they were at an event but perhaps did not make a run?

Re: What's your opinion on this?
 

So you can get 10 points or 30 points at an event with no possibility of getting 20..

Re: What's your opinion on this?
 

Correct. 10 points by passing tech and then it`s 30 points after a passing qualifying run even if you`re a no show first round.

Re: What's your opinion on this?
 

So what you are saying is that you get 20 points for rd. 1 plus 10 for passing tech. But of course you have to pass tech to get to round one. But don't you have to get on the sheet to get to round one. Interesting.
