Indy Class Pairings

Ed Fernandez · 08-01-2011, 08:13 PM

Wow,it took 16 posts before anyone mentioned the dreaded word "sandbagging".I guess there's so much rage against the new cars clear thinking goes out the window.
I guess NHRA likes this "class warfare". between the haves and have nots.It takes the pressure off the Glendora Gang to have the HP factors put in line.
If everybody feels so strong about these cars it seems they have some options.
1)Try to hop your car up in class and hope you have enough to make the 128 car field.
2)Sit out class and just try to make the final 128.
3)Stay home and beat up the dog/wife/kids
In other words take your wrath out on the REAL culprits the manufacturers and,sorry
Jack,the suits in Glendora,not you fellow racers.And yes,I'm not going to Indy,never have and probably never will.

Jeff,why don't you bring the old car and make a lot of people happy.I'm sure your
popularity rating would soar.:>):>):>):>)

Ed, like I have said, I didn't change, I only changed cars cause everybody beat the crap out of me. What's different? I still drink the same beer, and still tell the same lies.

Will Nitro Joe be doing the ladders and pairings? He gets it and understands the program (not to mention likeable). We don't have a preference how the pairings should go down but all options presented has it's teeth. I read earlier where the officials won't wait and will do the easiest to get everyone in pairs. Don't blame them. They have enough to do so let's make this fun and efficient. Vote for JOE!

x2! Probably won't happen though. Too many don't want them.

It only takes 1 person who insists on time to get his motor down to 40 degrees or simply doesn't like the ladder to muck it up...

Sounds like the whiners are winning. No surprise there.
