Elite/KB Pro Stock war...Ladder game
 
Yea, I know who cares but watching the PS qualifying I was struck by Erica’s comments about Greg Anderson working the ladder in an attempt to hopefully run her first round. Apparently she believes playing the ladder is very unprofessional. I’ve always been a Erica fan and know she’s a positive role model for young girls but it chafed me when Elite took the Mopar $ away from J&J and when they couldn’t win with them she bad mouthed Mopar repeatedly. The escalating battle with KB Racing is pretty intense and I get that but...

My question is do sportsman racers feel playing the ladder game is unprofessional in any way? I never have considered it to be but rather just another tool to be as competitive as possible. Other opinions?

It`s all part of the game in my opinion. I`d LOVE to see NHRA go back to the Pro Ladder for Stock and SS. Talk about manipulating the ladder!

I was not aware “working the ladder” was a bad thing. Some guys try to get, or avoid, a heads up, or try to go #1 to get a bye first round with an odd number of cars.

She wouldn't like me or alot of other guys in Stock very much. There are alot of guys and girls that manipulate to some degree where they are on the ladder.

Ta Da!!!!!!! I commend Greg Anderson to try this approach. Not a typical tactic on this level, but awesome job. Time to put up now. I love it!!!!
