Random pairing

GTS340 · 05-15-2021, 10:43 PM

I started my days in division one many many years ago. There would be 120 cars in stock in the 1980's and it was random pairing. It was crazy trying to follow up cars as yourself was being watched. Stock also used to cool the cars down in the lanes. It was a mess for the next class for sure.
I surely was surprised to hear the announcer say "Random pairing." It had to catch a few folks off guard. Cream comes to the top though.

it was random pairing for years=60',70's some 80's. It is used in the div 2 National opens first round but no heads up. I feel like I need to be prepared to race anybody/everybody if I want to win an event, so random doesn't bother me. I also don't play the ladder game, same reason.
I concentrate on racing the 'guy/gal' in the other lane by doing my best,
