Couldn't find the original post or who it was that was asking about this but-----------------------

By way of and through input from the SRAC and sportsman racers, for the first time at the Mac Tool U.S. Nationals Stock and Super Stock Class Eliminations will be placed on a ladder. Ladders will be generated as a result of the qualifying runs made prior to the first round of class eliminations. Competitors who have not made a qualifying run before the first round of class eliminations will be placed on the bottom of their class ladder.

For the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals it is important that Stock and Super Stock competitors listen to all announcements. Due to a high volume of cars, classes will be called in groups to help expedite pairing.

Let the ladder games begin.Chess anyone?:>):>):>)

Andys dad · 08-25-2011, 08:07 PM

Cool

I would think some might run father than a 1000ft during qualifying

It should end the arguing in the staging lanes - maybe

LMAO

Now there is finally a rule

:-) peace

Bernie Cunningham · 08-26-2011, 11:01 AM

Myself, I would assume the Sportsman format, don't know for sure.

ok gang talked to NHRA people and its a sportsman ladder, and everybody that techs in will be on their class ladder, it a car breaks or just doesnt show it will be a broken single for the car paired with that driver. In other words there could be more then one bye in that round of class. Any other questions post here and I'll go find out a answer if i can.

Is there a downside here?
