Bowling Green ecoboost battle

[VNMOUS1]

^^ I don't understand why 1-2 would ever happen before the final round, thought it was always the fastest vs slowest to get the two fastest guys at the end but I maybe wrong.

Justi didn't run Gusler. They both decided to run on their byes but it didn't count for anything.

They don't re-adjust the ladder just because someone leaves. They've never done that.

The tree and runs are based off which side the cars ran on. Everyone who ran on the left, runs the other ones who were on the left. We qualled 3rd so it put us in a sweet spot as well.

We never went up against Justi. That Was Brad (BG) We had a bye that pass. - there was also no need to push it

The final pass was a wholeshot win we did against BG (though he did have some issues on his launch)

Congrats to everyone who actually came out and ran. That BG car is awesome and is going to really hurt people's feelings.

With racing.. it's about setting the fastest.. not the micro-awards!!



Also want to give a huge thanks to the Lund Racing team. All of the cars were within inches of eachother this weekend.

I completely agree. He had everything out and the exhaust off and that's exactly what he was entitled to do. Putnam had his exhaust off, Brad's is certainly not a 'tailpipe' car. I would have done so as well had it not been hammered on to where I doubted we'd get it back on for the 800 mile drive home.

We drove ours there....it saw its first track time...drove it home. Trapped 116 a couple of times at full weight. Couldn't 60 for ^%#. All in all, a great event.

Don't let any petty BS get in the way of a door being opened for a whole new group of cars and enthusiasts.

Jason did run Brad, Jason lost, that's how the final ended up being UPR vs Brad.

Thought whoever was faster got lane choice when squaring off?

I had to leave so perhaps I missed something, but...

The ladder was and should have remained:

Me v UPR UPR won
UPR v Jason Winner v Brad

When did Jason and Brad race one another other than they both made passes during their bye?

Nevermind....just read Steve's post. Bizarre.

As far as the ladder, it was a "sportsman" ladder. there is a ladder for every number of entrants and will change based on that.

#3 was def the sweet spot on the ladder with this amount of entrants.

in heads up we run a "pro ladder" in nmra, 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, etc...

the sportsman ladder has 1/9 2/10 3/11, etc.. hence the name, basically gives the slower guys a better shot

we would have liked to stay, but i just couldn't be gone an extra day

I can agree with that, but it goes directly against what Jason said he would do. He talked so much about how stripping the interior was the dumbest thing on the earth. People will talk about "advantages/disadvantages" all day, so when a car with built motor, cams, race gas, slicks and skinnies, and stripped interior eventually goes faster than a full weight car car with just intercooler/tune. People are definitely going to be comparing, you know that 100%.

Me, I 100% honestly and truthfully am just happy that Jason finally hit an 11 second pass. It's unfortunate he had to go through so much trouble to get there, but he did it and he deserves it for being so persistent.

i don't think he really went through much trouble, he bent a $29 rod. anyone who plans on pushing these or any car should be prepared for that.

we bought a block for our gt back in march, since we knew we would be getting after it, that way we were ready when a piston or rod failed, or the block cracked.

you could live one pass, you could live 6 months, kind of luck of the draw.

Livernois was there with their car but it was a trailer queen, have to see the irony in a EBM having "tuning" issues...when Livernois tunes cars...lol.....so you sponsor a class, have you car there, are a tuner but don't run your car due to tuning issues...yeah....

So with what you said Terry I am still confused; you said pro/sportsman both have the same setup then, 1/16, 2/15...why would 1-2 happen before the final then?
