Indy Class Pairings

Joe getting everybody on the same page will probably be a huge problem. Generally, the rules state that the racers shall determine the match ups or by flip of a coin if there is any controversy. There are a large number of racers who want to draw a number/card or flip a coin. This ladder discussion is not what it appears to be. I think there has been one instance of a racer not being able to get through the bottleneck in the lanes and missing his class race. With this one exception, the lane crews will not "pull" a lane of class cars out to race until all the cars are accounted for. Also, drawing numbers/cards or flipping a coin in the lanes is part of the excitement of running class.

Ask Bucky about "all being accounted for". They left him in the traffic even though the lane folks had him there.

I didn't mention his name on purpose and his is the only case that I can remember. But it really doesn't have any thing to do with the way we pair cars.
