Random pairing
I see they ran the first round of stock at the second race in Texas as a random pairing. How many racers would like that instead of qualifying?
I'm guessing the folks that like to be last would change up some. Paul Haszlauer SS 7019 |

Re: Random pairing
We don’t run stock to have random pairings.

Re: Random pairing
I've never seen so much car counting and lane swapping going on: random pairing is a joke.

Re: Random pairing
Not a Fan of Random Pairing. Understand why they did it at this race.

Re: Random pairing
I started my days in division one many many years ago. There would be 120 cars in stock in the 1980's and it was random pairing. It was crazy trying to follow up cars as yourself was being watched. Stock also used to cool the cars down in the lanes. It was a mess for the next class for sure.
I surely was surprised to hear the announcer say "Random pairing." It had to catch a few folks off guard. Cream comes to the top though. Paul |

Re: Random pairing
it was random pairing for years=60',70's some 80's. It is used in the div 2 National opens first round but no heads up. I feel like I need to be prepared to race anybody/everybody if I want to win an event, so random doesn't bother me. I also don't play the ladder game, same reason.
I concentrate on racing the 'guy/gal' in the other lane by doing my best,

Re: Random pairing
How do they ladder the 2nd round?
How far under index or reaction time RON
