Default Why do we pair??

You pull into whatever lane you are told to and you race the guy next to you.


Sure would save more than thirty minutes of what time I have left. At 82 each minute is precious.

Hey Sarge, are you an expert in throwing hand grenades? Because that seems like what you’re doing here. Sounds like you’re racing in the wrong eliminator.


That’s why opens and bracket 1 were invented. Keep that **** there

If your time is so precious Sarge I’d suggest you back away from the keyboard.

Hey Sarge, ya know what these posts are starting to remind me of? All of the people who move out of the city into the 'burbs or the country and then want to change their new home into their old home. If ya don't like the lifestyle and the politics then don't move here!

Sounds like you need to go bracket racing.
Enough of this.

You are a class racer or not. If you don't like it, go do something else.

Talking Re: Why do we pair??

We pair so that racers like myself have time to prepare for their first round (or other rounds) like I did this past weekend for a heads-up .

More like the people that move real close to a dragstrip that's been there 30 years and then go to city council and bitch about all the noise that place puts out .

I see your point Fred.
But I bracket raced for years using a deck of cards for pairing.
But I love the chance to chat with my opponent and make a new friend in some cases win or lose. Then the thumbs up or stopping on the return road and getting out to discuss the run. Love it!
