Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Looks like he lost,so it all comes down to Noble or Las Vegas.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

yes you are correct, Edmond will now have 643pts to 653pts for A.Fetch, Edmond will have to make it to 4th round at either Noble or Vegas to win the Championship, now theres some pressure for ya!!!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Why don't you get a ride for Vegas and Pomona.Can't you win it too?

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

If i could find a ride i would fly out there most definately, i have asked around but havnt found anything yet. You know anybody looking?

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

I drove one of Mike Loge's vehicles at Vegas a few years back.Maybe he has something for rent?

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

I don't think so.He gets 10 more point which leave him 11 points behind Anthony.That means he is now trying to replace a 50 point race.4th rd gets him 61 pts,a tie.Don't know who wins the tie breaker.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

The person with more actual rounds won, like what happened with Tibor and Wilkes in '06


* Unusual circumstance. You'd have to win a race with less than 64 cars .Probably won't apply here.
They'll have to dust off the Top Secret NHRA Manifesto and look it up.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

this race had less then 64 cars so if Edmond had won 3rd round that would give him 62 points not 61. But seeings he didnt now he is 10 points behind by getting 51pts. He added 11 to his national points by throwing out that 40. Now at the next race if he goes to 4th round he betters a 50point race with atleast a 61. understand now. No tie possible. edit: unless there is 129 or more cars at one of those divisionals, then 4th round loss would be 60 and a possible tiebreaker.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

They do not run more than a 128 car field at a Divisional.I was racing at Vegas in 03 and qualified #129 driving a fuel injected truck.I did get to race as an alternate,but had I won any rounds,the points would not have counted since alternates can not earn points.Those were the rules back then,and I think they are the same.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

You caught me 442Olds guy, before I could make my correction; I had posted in here about Kevin Helms being within striking reach of catching both Anthony & Edmond, but I digress that I overlooked that he was a 1st rd ru at the Silver Dollar divisional that started yesterday, but is concluding today. He had a good opportunity, but now only has one more race to claim, and too much of a deficit to reach them...however with a good showing at the Noble race, he can make his way into the top five...that is provided Dustan Lowell doesn't make his way out west to partake in the last two national races, because he's in a better position than Kevin was...his 555 points, and only having been to 3nats this year, means that by just getting appearance points for the first round at both 'Vegas & Pomona, Dustan can vault to 3rd, and be within a few round wins of both Anthony & Edmond. However, living in NH., that's an enormously long tow to go to both of those races, but if he can do it, then my money would be on him. Adam Davis could've helped his cause but a 2nd rd loss this weekend may have done him in as well, and Jody Lang only has one more race to claim, so Dustan is the only one who could possibly rain on the parade of Mr's Anthony & Edmond? However with Florida being the furthest from home he's traveled this year, I think it's going to be either Anthony, or Edmond...may the best man win!!!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Kevin Helms had a first round loss today that I believe eliminated him from contention.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Someone out west needs to give Dusty a ride in those last two races. Hes been driving the wheels off his duster this year. Give a young guy a shot!!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Thanks for the correction Dusty.Hopefully someone will give you a ride to take a shot at improving you're position.
Wouldn't it be funny if you had to race Richardson 3rd rd.

Am I missing something or is the points system screwed up to give extra points for a race with less cars?

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

I agree with you Stevie, like I said in a corrected post a couple ahead of yours, I like knowing that just by appearing at the 1st rd of those last two national events, Dusty will be closing in fast on both Anthony and Edmond, and with as few as 3-4 rnd wins (provided neither of them improve anymore), he can vault past both, and cruise to the world championship!!! I wish you luck Dusty, because that would be a bummer if you couldn't get out there and get those 60 appearance points (at a minimum) to help your championship seeking cause!!!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

i would love to see dusty win it as well but correct me if im wrong... if he has shown up to three national events then that would throw away his "show up points" therefore he would have to better whatever his worse two nationals were.. i thought it was your best three out of your first five nationals

Dusty would have to win Vegas AND Pomona to get the championship by 1 point.Like the '86 Mets
Ya gotta believe.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

his last 2 races were a win and a runner-up against some of the best racers in the country. Winning 2 more are not out of the question.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

yea Stevie load up that fast G/Stick Camaro you got there and lets go for a road trip!!! I bet we could set the record at the Vegas Divisional too!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Anthony Fetch all the way.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Yeah, you got me on that one Little Bubba, he did use up his "show up points", so I guess he's going to have to get a ride out there, and do what Ed showed he needs to do in order to reach the top, but as Ed said, "you gotta believe"...I think it would be pretty cool if he can pull it off, but even if not...GREAT SEASON DUSTAN....WAY TO GO!!!

By the way Dusty, if you do make it out this way, and race the Divisional, then I'd give you a HIGH FIVE for your awesome season, but now you have to hope that there's a few (+) cancellations since Stock is at 132 entries...so much for the economic state of America (I guess those economist were correct, we are on the rebound)???

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

I never said it was.I just stated a statistic.Hope he gets a shot at it.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

I think all of us out here in D1 hope Dusty gets a shot out west! He's had a killer season and it would be nice to see him put the icing on the cake and if nothing less give it a shot! Gotta give credit where credit is due, also! Anthony Fetch is prob one of the best stock/footbrake drivers on the planet! He's def the man to beat this season! Congrats to both of you on incredible seasons! But you can never count out anyone named Richardson when the points are tallied up at the end of the season! This is a pretty tight race for the stock championship! Good luck to everyone!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Why don't you bring your F/SA and set the record?Its only a 10.69.I'm sure you could bomb that record.
Would you do it if NHRA gave 100 points to set a record?

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

The only thing setting the record would do is create more work to tear down and the chance of screwing something up on reassembly.
Maybe giving 20 pts. for a class record wouldn't be a bad thing.100 is a bit much I think.
132 car field makes 4th round a 60 pointer now.No free points for lower car count.What's with that?

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

I'll second that- it will be Fetch.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Dusty doesn't need a cancelation, if he is within striking distance he gets a waiver.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

dusty's car is outta commission with engine problems.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Somebody out west has to have an extra car. I know if he was coming down south, the country dog could hook him up.

Greg

ps Edmond might take care of business at Noble.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Thanks for that correction Greg....well then Dusty, I hope you get a ride out here, so I'll have a chance to read about you in 'Vegas next weekend, because I'll certainly be rooting for you!!!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

I think this was discussed in a past thread,but if you flew into the Las Vegas Airport and wanted to try and rent a car to race,what vehicle would be the best to try and get that might come close or under the index?
It would be a longshot,but as Ed Fernandez said....You gotta believe!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

Edmond Richardson takes over the points lead by advancing to the 4th round at Noble, now he has a bye into the 5th round. Good job both Anthony and Edmond on a great year and a nail-biter at the end!!

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

It is over Edmond is the stock world champ.

Re: NHRA Stock World Champ Predictions
 

I agree with you Tony, because according to my math, Dusty would've had to win both national events to earn the 210 points available from them. However, he'd be erasing 101 points from his 40pt E'town race, and his 61pt Reading race. If Edmond rec'd those incremental rnd. points he's now at 665, and the closest Dusty's net total would be is 664. There are some other guys out there in the mid-400's who have only run 3nats, and 5divs, but they would've needed to be at Noble, and neither of them showed up (plus Tim Mosbek). Bottom Line:

CONGRATULATIONS "EDMOND RICHARDSON JR." THE 2009 STOCK ELIMINATOR WORLD CHAMP!!!
