Re: Mineshaft determination
I think 45 is the top of the bottom half, because he comes up and runs number 2 on the ladder.
I have no documentation to support this theory, however. |

Re: Mineshaft determination
Mike is nearly always correct in my experience.
However, I think 44 is first on on bottom 1/2 of the ladder. I will show my work (Like in 3rd Grade) --- 87 divided by 2 = 43 1/2 (arithmetic middle of Field) 44 first on bottom 1/2 of field. Of Course I am generally Wrong! You can verify that with my X-Wife!

87 car divided by 2 = 43.5 like you stated this means there will be 44 cars returning for 2nd round. This would make the 45 car the 1st car on the bottom half of the field... We split the field in "half" every round so if all the top qualifiers won the entire TOP half of the field would return for round 2 and the highest qualified car not returning would be the FIRST car on the bottom half of the field...

Re: Mineshaft determination
Round up to next even number. Divide by 2 and next number is top of bottom half. 850 under or greater is mineshaft.

Re: Mineshaft determination
At 87 cars it's 43 we got schooled at VMP 2 weeks ago . I disagree with it but Gendora had the last word

Re: Mineshaft determination
Rule of thumb is the first car on the bottom half will run #1 or #2 qualifier if it’s an odd number. If that car isn’t -.85 then it’s not mineshaft.
