What's The Point of Playing the Ladder?

Ok so you've made your first qualifying run in Stock (or Super Stock, Comp, Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, or hell even Snowmobile!) and you would like to know who your potential first/second/fourth/sixth round matchup is. The old fashioned way of figuring such a thing out would involve either waiting for a qualifying order to be sold at the DRAW tent or get to the nearest online device and check dragracecentral.com for session 1 order. After doing this, your next step is to pull out your blank ladder sheets or book and start handwriting in the qualifying order. Here is where your A.D.D. kicks in, you've missed a few names, lost your place, can't remember which member of the Ficacci family you meant, and still haven't figured out how to correctly spell "Bongiovanni." You need the program!

What the program does is allow the user to go straight to DragRaceCentral, copy the qualifying order, and paste it into a Microsoft Excel workbook. It then automatically generates a ladder pre-filled with competitor names and what kind of car they race! Now you can see how the entire race will pan out. It doesn't stop there, after observing the ladder you decide you want to avoid your friend until a final, stay away from or take advantage of a heads-up run, put yourself in the path of a bye run (or in some cases two), or keep your comp car from racing Bruno Massel until Armageddon. In order to do any of these you will have to "position" yourself on the ladder by running a certain ET range in the next qualifying session. Simply enter your index and what slot you would like to qualify and the ET range you need to run will be automatically calculated for you. It's that simple!

The program also features the blank ladder sheets for those who don't have internet. Just type in how many cars and BOOM - a blank ladder is generated for you to print out.

The program can be tried FREE for 7 days with no payment info required. Anyone running Vegas this weekend or running the Pomona race in November are welcome to try it free for those races as well. Please visit www.dragracetrans.com/laddersoftware.html to download . You will then need an activation code from me. Microsoft Excel required. Not compatible with Mac.
