Qualify Order

Pat Joffrion · 09-30-2008, 03:33 PM

Dan,

The run order is established by the division director (or his representative) at the divisional events. However, the track owner is the guy (or gal) that has all of the $$$ on the table. If enough racers POLITELY request that the track owner or track manager speak to the division director, the run order can be changed.

As a former record holder, I completely understand what good air means for a record run, and I have a very good working relationship with our D-4 director. He may not like to change the run order, but he is open to negotiation.

In my opinion, the best run order for record runs is:
Stock
Super Comp (to put rubber back over the bald spots made by stock)
Super Stock
Comp Eliminator (for record runs)
Super Street
Super Gas
Top Sportsman
Top Alcohol Funny Car
Top Alcohol Dragster
Motorcycle
Top Dragster

This run order is the most efficient to maintain good starting line rubber. While some may argue for a different order to accomodate certain classes, ain't nothing worse than to spin at the line... While we have had a problem on several occasion, since we run dragster before super stock, the bite has been most effective. Track operators need to remember that.
