Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
One of the things we heard after the one at MIR was "I didn't know about it". The VMP race has been on a Sticky on this forum since the beginning of August, and been on IHRA all year. $200 entry for $5,000 + national event contingency. Win that race, and you have a free entry into the $10,000 +contingency Tournament of Champions, and the whole weekend is Sportsmen only.
Like the guy on radio says, "It's the biggest no-brainer in the history of the universe." Sucks that there's so many races scheduled on the same weekend. All of them are just costing each other entries. While IHRA always takes good care of the show, as an added bonus, VMP recently hired Alan Carpenter as track manager. I think he's always done a great job, wherever he's been.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
How does qualifying and reentry work? Ladder based on qualifying for first round like normal? Then a new ladder made after the reentry round?

You qualify as normal with a ladder as usual on 1st round.(with heads-up runs in effect) then bb's run each other durring bb round only. after this is done ,they go back to original qualifying sheet and pull out all losers off the sheet and generate a new ladder with all winners. this ladder will begin second round after bb round is done .bb round is the only round that will not have heads-up(run off dial-ins). after the bb it is all back to normal... example you coud have qualified say 10th originally and if the 5th ,7th, an 4th lost then you would move up 3 spots on ladder. bb round is random pairing with no heads up in the bb round to keep someone from chasing another driver up...It worked very well and did not here any complaints from that system.So qualifying is important in this race. after bb round is over a new ladder will be made (from original qualifying sheet) and you may have a heads-up in that ladder and it will be a heads-up ....i hope i explained it good enough to understand if not i will try to answer any questions if i can...see y'all there and good luck to everyone.
