Re: The official DragInsights Power Rankings thread
Anyone else feel a little uneasy with this kind of thread?
Is it supposed to be for the keyboard racers? Armchair quarterbacks? The guys in the cheap seats? I could sit here and mention names of guys and gals that are likely to go rounds too, but what about the rest of the racers at Epping who are sitting there in the rain, and see this? Should the just load up and go home? Some off these guys are just one lucky break away from winning a national meet. Some have won before and are not even mentioned. I don't know Bobby, but this one seems kind of disrespectful. If I'm alone here , I'll shut up and go back to my keyboard too. ;-)

Re: The official DragInsights Power Rankings thread
Until I can log on to my FanDuel account and place a bet on the winner,I really don't care about the win probability or power factor of a given driver.

Re: The official DragInsights Power Rankings thread
I don’t know if they fixed it on that list but somebody sent me a revised list and yes I am on top I guess they didn’t factor something in right
Personally I just thought it was funny

Re: The official DragInsights Power Rankings thread
Exactly... I don't follow "sports" but I know they have these betting sites.
Perhaps this kind of thread is better suited for over there. Those folks are never, ever going to play Pro "fooball" . C/R seems to deal primarily with past , present, and future racers.Just look at the stands at Divisionals. Also, we've been told lately that you can't lower the indexes any more.It hurts the beginners. Well, if they're racing now, don't they have an equal chance of winning? (hope we get to see some live timing soon ;-) )

Re: The official DragInsights Power Rankings thread
If someone has not won then yes the odds are against them. But that does not mean that they can't won. Years ago what were the odds of Buster Douglas against Mike Tyson?

If you're entered in an event and don't see your name on this list and it "offends" you or "upsets" you then perhaps you're in the wrong sport. I've never won a national meet or a divisional meet yet...so I don't expect my name to show up on here anytime soon! These "Power Rankings" and "win probabilities" are supposed to be based off of the data DragInsights has collected and nothing more. These are meant to be fun...not a "surefire" deal. This sort of stuff is nothing more than someone showing an extra amount of interest in the sportsman side of things and actually trying to use some data as a predictive analysis. I don't think there has ever been a competitive person or team who saw the "odds" and said "well, I'm just going to pack it in." The truly competitive person would see something like this and say "watch this" as they go out and try to prove it wrong. Think your name should be on here and it isn't? Great! Go out and "put up or shut up!" But I guess maybe I'm just a keyboard warrior
