Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Well it is another beautiful day here in Indy! It is 62 and sunny, going up to 82 later in the day. We are listening to Bob and Tom on the radio locally since they are located here in Indy. Tech starts at 10 until 5, I think. I haven't seen the schedule yet, but was told that we have 3 runs on Wed. starting at 8, then start on Thurs. with class at 7:30. And what we have been told is that Class will be laddered, hopefully using a sportsman ladder. If your guy doesn't show up or breaks on Wed, you will get a bye. Once the ladder is established, everything runs off of it. I guess you can't show up on Thurs and run for class because you won't be on the ladder. I don't know if whoever thought up the ladder idea allowed for Thurs. arrivals.

Well more later.

From NHRA site.
By way of and through input from the SRAC and sportsman racers, for the first time at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals Stock and Super Stock Class Eliminations will be placed on a ladder. Ladders will be generated as a result of the qualifying runs made prior to the first round of class eliminations. Competitors who have not made a qualifying run before the first round of class eliminations will be placed on the bottom of their class ladder.

For the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals it is important that Stock and Super Stock competitors listen to all announcements. Due to a high volume of cars, classes will be called in groups to help expedite pairing.

Is Toby just spectating I did not see his name on the entry list. Somebody do us all a favor on the west coast and kidnap him for the next two weekends so somebody else can win at Medford and Woodburn Div races coming up or Ken send him on a far away assignment to report on like down under, he would like that.
