Input on Stk/SS ladders in Class Eliminations

[Jim Wahl]

Leave it alone!! If the situation warrants only one run be made then that is the run used for the ladder. If you want to change classes, it must be done before any qualifying runs are made. No need to complicate things! Our Association can do ladders that include NHRA, IHRA and NMCA combos either by computer or by hand with simple algorithms. We have even used the ping pong ball style pairing just for fun many times. Point being, anyone with average math competence and a lap top can do a ladder quickly. Why is it so hard all of a sudden?

I surely don't know, Jim.
If they get a little behind with weather, the first thing they do is cancel Class anyway.
