Division 1's Random Pairing Policy - Page 6

sg1838 · 06-19-2007, 05:37 PM

Chris,

I can comment...that doesn't mean I'm correct, but I can comment! And I think you'll find that I'm a pretty straight-shooter. If I don't know how something works, I will tell you that I don't know how something works. And, in some cases where I do not feel I am qualified to post my opinion, I won't (for instance, you will rarely see me post my opinion on subjects over on the S/SS side that specifically pertain to those classes, because quite frankly I just don't know enough about them to be able to make an educated post.)

But, in this particular case, somebody suggested that D1 should use the same procedure that is in place in D3 for pulling first round opponents, and it was made perfectly clear in these posts that the current method of "random pairing" for the 1st round hadn't changed since the last time I was at a D1 LODRS event. Thus, I felt it was perfectly reasonable for me to post my opinion.

You COULD even argue that I am more qualified than some on this particular subject, as over the last few years I have almost always hit at least one D3 LODRS event. This is not to say that D1 racers are strangers to D3 events, but we're definitely in the minority when we are there.

And I'm NOT trying to insinuate you are one of these people...

I do think that the D3 has a great thing going. Good luck getting Higher Ups to listen,

Well at least you are honest!

Anyway I did happen to see some of that "Certain Transmission Builder and his wife playing "GAMES" in the staging lanes at Atco this past weekend!

We should really put a stop to this and I have proof that those scoundrels were really up to some fishing.

I believe it was "GO FISH"

Thanks Chris

Deal.

That said, I just took a step backwards today in getting out, as I committed this morning to having the entire cage replaced in my car. So, now it's looking like at least August 1st before I'll be out (we're shooting to have the car at the chassis shop by 7/6, then it will be there a couple of weeks, and I'll have a couple of weeks worth of work left to put it all back together.)

The good news is that unless my motor builder cancels in the next 2 hours (which he's done before), I should be on the dyno tomorrow morning at 9am. If I would have known it was going to take so long for the motor to be done, I would have had the chassis work done months ago. Oh well, too late now...

Anyway, if everything goes smoothly at the chassis shop (and I have added extra time into the schedule without telling them), I should be able to make Epping, and from there I'll be at Milan, Toronto, the Columbus Sportsnationals, and the Dutch Classic.

So, I look forward to meeting you, and enjoying a frosty beverage with you, at one of those races.

And BTW, I was also NOT insinuating that you were one of these people that hasn't raced any D3 races. I wasn't insinuating that anybody IN PARTICULAR on here hasn't participated in some D3 races. But, I'm sure there are plenty of racers that compete exclusively in D1, which I can understand. If I lived on the Atlantic coast, I'm not sure I'd be traveling to D3 either (but I don't, so I do).

Jason,

You are a trip......

Rock is a trip also. Random pairings allow Rock to hide from mark Horton in the lanes.

Wow...Sounds like ANOTHER challenge! Two challenges in one thread!

I wasn't successful in getting NED Racer to post his real name. But, maybe Mr. Furr will have more luck getting Mr. Haas to run Mr. Horton...

Maybe we can set up a grudge match at a local track during a test-n-tune!

We are leaving for Stanton tomorrow....we will both be running super gas and comp.....chances are we will meet at some point....I hope in the final.....
In division 3, if you get in the same lane, chances are that you won't run that car in round 1. After that anything can happen on the ladder....

it would be even better if that red 68 camaro was in the other lane....the one that always seems to have a 1 on it.....
