Open Random Pairing vs Ladder Poll

[rboyle]

1- use random pairings at National Opens
2- use a Qualifying Ladder at National Opens
3- don't care, I only go for the grade point and leave
4- I don't race anyway but like throwing out my opinion

its amazing 1600 people have looked at this poll, and only 100 or so have voted.

Thinking it shows racers really can't be bothered or don't care about this topic.

Duane, I believe Rich should have a fifth choice …(5) …I go to an OPEN to race and I don’t care if it’s a qualified ladder or random pairings …

Look at it this way: It's much harder to position yourself on the ladder when you are racing for your qualifying position. After first round, it could potentially lead to MORE heads up races.

I understand I am in the minority here voting to leave it random 1st rd.

At Atco there were 63 qualifiers, I counted only 53 showing up for 1st round. potentially 10 singles 1st round if they did not do the random pairings

Same thing at the Fall Classic at Indy Dave. A lot of no shows. They call Stock to the lanes and as soon as 10 pairs or more show up they start running pairs down the track.That gets the rest of the cars up there fast.
