How about lower qualified cars getting lane choice. We are not any less equal.

Can someone in lighten me ? …. Since there is no "at the gate" entries (or tech) at the Lucas Oil Series Races, Is there an pre entry deadline? Can you withdraw? Is your money refundable/transferable ….or maybe you can do all this computer stuff in your RV at the gate when you arrive ?

I entered the Atlanta race last night. I got an immediate e mail response with a receipt. Now just waiting for the tech card e mail to hit my inbox. We will see if that happens. Nothing yet. When you enter you select the class you run and enter. You have to have an account set up or you will have to set one up. It was real easy.

Well I just finished (?) with my electronic entry for Tulsa, and I received confirmation that I paid, was accepted, tried to fill out my Tech card, but only could get 2 items posted ???, but got a accepted email from NHRA in spite of that fact, got tickets and I think I signed up for the free app for time slips, but no comfirmation.
If this doesn't turn out to be a HUGE Cluster I will be amazed.

And it only took me an hour and a half.......

Have a safe trip and hope for smooth sailing for everyone.

10mph South wind all week, so try and pit on pavement( Yeah right!!) or up wind from the Dusty roads. Hope they have the water trucks in use.

I have to wonder how and when the track owner will receive his money?

That is funny. Maybe we should let people dial above the index if they can’t run fast enough.

I know I know. Just kidding.

Maybe it should be the first to staging for pairing gets the lane choice.

That will make a huge difference to who shows up when for pairing.

This seems like a good idea for a performance based category like Super Stock and Stock, meaning top qualifiers or higher qualified. Is this also how it works in competition eliminator?
Or maybe racer with better light from round before can have lane choice? Either seems better than flipping coins in 2020.

I like the way they do lane choice at the Summit Series division finals. As cars gradually pull up in the lanes two-by-two you encounter an official who points at one racer who then points left or right to indicate lane preference. Then the same for the other driver. If they ask for opposite lanes he just waves them up, and they cross over if necessary to get to their lanes.

If they ask for the same lane the official points to one driver who gives thumbs up or down for heads or tails. The official flips a coin and directs the drivers to the proper lane.

Takes less time than to send a pair down the track and no one ever has to get near, or talk to, anyone else.

Well my tech card came through with a question or space for any class of race car that has ever been down a track. I had a lot of n/a,s on there but it went through!
I think the coin flip is fine. I like to have a little conversation with the racer thats fixin to kick my arse!
