The Dutch Classic the biggest sportsman race of the year in the country and no qualifing posted on DragRaceCentral.com ? Was anybody going to cover this race on that site?

The biggest sportsman race in the country? I think not and I think I can find many racers who would agree. Actually it has become more of a circus. Truthfully there is no need for a qualifying sheet because it is random pairing. No ladder until the second round.

We will not be covering the Dutch Classic this year. I have covered the race for DRC for the past few years even though it was never a part of our official coverage schedule. I covered the race primarily because I like the event and like being there.

This year, however, it falls on my 22nd wedding anniversary and it would not be wise for me to leave my wife at home while I attend the race. Add to that the fact that I also work a full time job and have been at races four of the past five weeks and that explains why DRC is not covering the Dutch.

I will check to see what we can do to get the results posted at the end of each day, but there will not be anyone there covering it live.

Dumb question: How do they form the ladder in the second round? Is it how far under the index you go in first round?

George Mirza · 10-22-2010, 07:03 PM

Yes, by how far you run under your index in the first round. No heads up races in the first round.

Jim,

Happy Anniversary-I hope you did something on Saturday night other than watch the Phillies!

Now enjoy the winter and see lots of good music and if you are bored on Monday Mornings, from 8-10, go to WONYFM.COM

THERE'S THE ANSWER TO ALL THE STOCK AND S/S PROBLEMS!

It's so simple. Just random pair through the entire eliminator at all events. Why didn't someone think of this before?

stefan callender · 10-23-2010, 05:55 PM

In that case you can run Super Gas.

The advantage being?? Maybe buybacks too. ????
