[QUOTE=Todd Hoven;217851]The advantage being?? Maybe buybacks too. ????


The advantage would be that the guy that out dollars everyone and writes a check for his horsepower would not be guaranteed a win because there would be no heads up runs. Don't you think you are a good enough driver to win when there is a handicap. Or maybe you just like using the excuse that Mr. Big Bucks out ran you because his new car is not classed correctly. Put a handicap in there, take the advantage away and then see who the real winner would be. Very few new cars would be around after the second round if they could not out run everyone heads up.

It's so simple. Just random pair through the entire eliminator at all events. Why didn't someone think of this before?

Random Pairing SUCKS !! It does not work. Had a situation when they pulled this BS at the Phoenix make up race in Sonoma, Was in line next to a slower car when I set my dial to race a slower car, I was strapped in at up to front of the line when they pulled someone out of the line for the bye because of the odd number of cars, I dont know how they decided who had the bye but it was to late to change the dial in as I was now paired with a faster car, would I have liked to known this before hand Uh yes but no one had a clue to how this was going to happen. If you would like to race this way build a bracket car or race the .90 classes dont change S/SS quail thats a Lame Idea Sorry.......

I beleve, from a story I was told years ago, that the reason for random first round pairings at Nat'l Opens were due to cars attempting Records. Some would come to set it, then go home, whether they got it or not. This would create many bye runs first round. Thus, the random first round pairs. Whether this story/reason is true, I do not know.

As for the part about the dial-in, why would you dial your car different based on who your opponent was or how fast they were? I ran my street Camaro on Wednesday night Street Legal Night at times. Double entered in Street Automatic and Modified, which was open to any car, including those not street legal. I raced against everything from 8 and 9 second Super Gas cars, to 18 second sport compact cars in Modified. And, I dialed my car whatever I thought it was going to run, usually 14.1's, regardless of whether I was receiving or giving up a 5 second spot. If I thought the car would run 14.15, I dialed 14.15.
