How important is qualifying???????????????

I will never forget how surprised I was when I finally met Toby Lang at Seattle in the early 90s. He showed me the thick notebook containing ladder combinations for various numbers of cars in the field. It was absolutely something I'd neve considered in my heads up days but thought it was genius.

The only time I'd seen one before was in the tower being used by race control.

Yes, they were(are) very good racers but I'm sure that 1) keeping track of things like this and 2) having the minds to realize it was a factor affected their racing. History proves it out.
