Selecting the first few pairings to run

Ron Ortiz · 06-09-2009, 09:39 AM

I understand Mr. Voth's point of view on the spraying. Only thing it is the opposite for me, I actually slow down due to the adhesivesness.

In terms of when I get to the lanes after they call varies. Knowing that we run at 8:00 AM, I will try to be the first pair out in qualifing to duplicate the air when eliminations start on Saturday. I will try to get my last qualifing run as late as possible to simulate the air change during the day.

During eliminations some drivers want to be late due to the suns glare on the tree or early latter on the day to avoid dusk.

I have been bitten too many times by watching what other cars do to adjust my dial. I have learned to just trust my own weather prediction. So therefore my arrival time in the lanes is of little importance.

There are many racers on this forum. What are their reasons for different arrival times. Lets hear it.
