Stewart thanks for your feedback. Your question is the most common one I get whenever I mention the word ladder and it is a very valid one as well. Let me start off by saying anyone who knows my car and my good friend Jamie Schoenly's '72 Maverick knows that both of us do not have much ET to play around with. We are incapable of qualifying in the top half of any field wherever we go. Our number one goal is to avoid each other until a final. Having said that, we have raced at 5 divisionals and 2 nationals together this year and have only once ended up on the same side of the ladder, and in that scenario we would have been a semi final matchup. And this is with 2 cars who go under the index by very small margins. The quicker your car is, the more ladder possibilities open up.
Where my program really becomes beneficial is in a matter of about 5 seconds you can find 12 different ET ranges for 12 different qualifying positions and choose the one with the widest window. For instance, If qualifying in the number 25 spot requires me to run 10.305 to 10.308 and qualifying in the number 45 spot requires 10.905 to 11.08 well then I am shooting for number 45 because it has almost a
2 tenths window rather than trying to hit a .003 window for the number 25 spot.
As with racing in general, there are no guarantees. You still need to cut good lights and run your number to be a successful racer. However, this program can increase your chances by putting you in a more desirable path to the final round.
