Question for those that plan to participate in the Bracket Race at the Round-up. Trying to decide the best way to pair everyone during eliminations. 1) Blind draw? (like we did last year) 2) Sportsman ladder? Here is an example of what the ladder might look like: http://www.nhra.com/ladders/Ladders.asp?Category=0&Cars=30&Submit1=Submit I know what I would like to do but to be fair to all I want some ideals and thoughts. Thanks!
I would feel much better if you would refrain from using the word "Pinky" to describe your car. For some reason, it conjours up visions of Pinky Tuscadero in pink overalls instead of a fine, young man in a racing suit.
I don't know. I may participate in the speed festivities this year. I guess I need to change that rear gear ratio. Blind works.
I would like to see the blind draw(pun intended):evilsmile . Besides You know you will to have to race me and lose the crown buddy. The saying to be the man you got to beat the man springs to mind WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
i think the blind draw is the fairest as we have some that don't race very often, and some that aren't any good (like me). can't cut a light twice in a row. guess i need to get my car fixed.
Blind draw...as long as I draw Pinky in the first round Pinky and the Plum in the first round...throwin down....smacka smacka smacka
That does have a nice ring to it:evilsmile and someday the "war machine" will grow up and beat up all y'alls cars............
I like the idea of a "Blind Draw", however......, I also would like to see a "Second Chance" tree. It's basically a "Loser's Bracket". That way, getting beat one time doesn't throw you completely out of the "tournament". The loser would go on to the 'Second Chance' Bracket. There would be a trophy (or whatever) for the Winner of the Orginal eliminations AND that of the Second Chance bracket. This seems to work really well at a local track close to Houston. Also, the winner of both brackets could run against each other....but wait, there's more! Hold a "Sate Rep Race". The State Rep of each chapter would race (in single eliminations) for bragging rights. Just an idea (especially since we will have the track to ourselves and not in a rush to get the event over with).
...and then we will race ...state to state etc...etc...etc untill everyone has won a trophy . i like this idea...go ahead and send me my trophy because i want have room in the car to bring it home ...frank...
I'm all for the blind thingamajig. . Didn't we have a buy back in last yrYou were only aloud to buy in once.. If you lost again you were out.. the runner-up last yr was a "buy back in" person am goin to vote..cya
yes we had buy-backs last year the way we did it was, the 2nd round, all buy back racers raced each other, then got back in the winners bracket in the 3rd round. Thats the way we do it at my local tracks.
sounds good to me. i always hate it when i go home right away. even if you go out can you still run test and tune?
