Input on Stk/SS ladders in Class Eliminations - Page 2

We're all adults here.....well, most of us. I think we can pair ourselves per the q sheet hanging on the trailer door/window. Keep it the same and police the pairings ourselves. It's really not that hard.

Would leave alone and ladder the cars for Class Eliminations. Need to have resources to manage the race on staff

The racers could get a text with the ladders when their category is called up. There is no reason for this to be as difficult as they have made it.

I agree 100% If it is not broke, don't fix it!!!

Sounds to me like they're just trying to knock someone else off the payroll.
Meanwhile, they're turning away class cars that want to pay and race with them.
Should get more for your money..not less.
NO!

Maybe nhra should give Bobby Fazio a call he can help them with ladders........

I agree with Sean. One would think the racers can handle things accordingly! It would also be nice if we could run class in the correct order at the US Nationals (ie...GT/MA, GT/LA, GT/KA, etc). However, for some reason, we're not able to do that ourselves! It baffles me every year!

I kind of like the sound of this.......

Sortta like putting your dial in on your car for the whole weekend.....

What happens when HP adjustments change the class you were in?

Most cars can run three or more classes and this business of staying in the class you enter won't work. The person in charge of the qualifying sheets and ladders will have access to all our information at the credentials trailer. There's also plenty of time to check the first round of qualifying against the entry list. In most cases there will only be a few changes. Leave it alone.
