Wade, I see and understand the ladders. I can only assume that this is a carry-over from the other topic. Someone had mentioned that they liked a pro ladder because all byes were done first round, and basicly that it was a single elimination. We better be on our game or we are going home. With that said, what point are you trying to get across to us? Sorry, but that is as plain and simple as I can put it. Is ORSCA trying to do away with the possibly large amount of bye runs when running 32, or 64 car pro ladders? The reason I ask, is because you posted the possibility of odd number of cars pro ladders. Is ORSCA testing the waters with these posts for peoples responses, or are these posts for our information? Thanks. Paul Baxter
P.S. Call me if this forum is not the most proper place for any responses. 770-861-1412 Thanks |

Absolutley NOT..............but considering we have no racing going on I am quite bored. Blame Johnny and the rain.
It's just that I hear racers at almost every event I attend make comments one way or another about ladders. I have heard one racer say he quit attending George Howard Head-Up races because he ran a sportsman ladder. That is not true. The ones I attended, he didn't run a ladder at all.
I appreciate when I learn something and if this helps someone not make a fool of themself ,hey it was worth the time.
NO HIDDEN AGENDA OR MOTIVE IN EITHER TOPIC.
I brought the buyback topic up because of the baileyton race advertised on the board and saw that several ORSCA regulars showed interest in attending. |

Simplify things.....In classes that are large enough to support 32 or 64 car fields, fine.......#33(and slower) and # 65 (and slower) or breakout runners go to the house, try again next time.
In the event there are less than 32 cars.....it becomes a 16 car field, Period!.......That eliminates ANY first round bye runs, unless it is a competition break bye...and you are subject to get those even in the finals.
I know what I am saying seems harsh.....but think about it....a "Quick 8" show doesn't go to first round with 9 or 10 cars, they field 8....to the non-qualifiers...Hate your bad luck, twist on some wrenches before the next race and come on out and try again......I mean sheesh...even John Force doesn't qualify at Every race.....and when he doesn't qualify, he becomes a spectator and a cheerleader for his other teams. And the argument that "our racers travel a long way to race, they should be allowed to race", is true, they DO travel a long way (some more than others) and it's getting more and more expensive just to get TO the track.......but if you can't qualify in a specified number of cars, I'm sorry, but try again next time.

| Thanks Wade. There are very few things that are constant in this world, but change is always constant. I honestly thought that a pro ladder always had two sides, so I did learn something as well. I believe the reason so many ORSCA regulars showed interest in the race in question was due to the $ 4000.00 to win that was advertised. For that much money I would have to consider it as well. I have my car apart again, just trying to chase gremlins. We will run 5.0 and run it consistantly, even if the late nights and long hours kill me. We should be testing again in a couple weeks. At least I will be in the car again. I do look forward to more comfortable weather in the second half of the season. Paul Baxter |

| Wade you have way to much time on your hands. Phenix City, Macon,ORSCA type Ladders are the ladders I refer to as Pro ladders. At Phenix City if we have 19 cars we have a run off to get to 16 cars,This may not be a Pro ladder but its the fairest way to get to the kinda racing that I will come to and not have to send anybody home. See ya'll in Sept. at ORSCA car is in paint shop. Kenny |

Kenny I have been saving for weeks and now have a total of $25 dollars saved up.
When you go in the casino if you see a fat lady in a black dress at the dice talble watch her close. If she laughs place the whole 25 on #9 and let it ride with the high rollers. If she is cursing hold off until atleast 3 rolls then slap it down
I will split the winnings with you

See ya'll in Sept. at ORSCA car is in paint shop. Kenny Kenny just so you know I have been calling Wade all week and trying to give him useless things to do to keep him busy. It just hasn't worked. He still has racing withdrawls. When we first met Wade we were racing wide open and we loved that his mind never shut off about racing. I didn't think about what would happen if we took a summer break.
He is like one of those intendo games that lays in the toy closet and chirps and beeps all night long and you can't find the off button to.
If we stay off very much longer we may have to do one of those intervention deals on him.
Remember Wade your ORSCA family loves you and we will be there for you through this terrible ordeal. The pain will get easier. All these terrible thoughts and feelings you are having now are not real and won't last forever.
Please just put the mouse down and back away from the keyboard slowly.
Ellen is proff that you can kick this if you really try.
