dancer52 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I watched videos only of the races and it looked like that races were lined up same as heat finishing order.. What are the rules going to be for this weekend? just so everyone knows and is on the same page at the drivers meeting? oh no..an upset smiley face lol ....well..at the drivers meeting last week they explained why they did not invert. As to this week...bet they tell us in the drivers meeting. Man..I am glad everyone understands how easy operating a track is...lol I have a feeling if someone has the time (or the software) the track would be willing to let you help out and fix the lineups. Or...you could step up...like me and Leland have for several races and voluntarily start on the rear. Just saying. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm44 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 That's the problem a.j., drivers want to know prior to getting there what's going to happen. How many upset people were there because of the header change in the purestocks the week of the first race? How many sportmods were lost compared to gained because of the header change 2 weeks into the season? As far as a computer program to do lineups why? Tracks have been doing it by hand for years. Besides with all the money the track has a few thousand dollars on a program is nothing, Danny made no qualms about how much money they had at the groundbbreaking. Just run a consistent show and quit all the bs games with flipping coins, rolling dice, drawing cards or whatever else people come up with. Invert the heats, qualify the top 12, the rest to the back. As far as the track surface goes, its going to take time to learn to work it. The soil out there is weird. If they would brush off the top during intermission(the top groove, all the loose chunks thrown up there ) it would help. I've offered advice before not only as a racer but as the owner of an excavation company and have been blasted in open and private messages they they knew more than I did and they didn't need my help. I have changed my gears for Saturday and plan on being there. Just would like to know what's going to happen. See yall then. Joe mod 444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkr77 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Not sure why a track would say how the invert/how many cars would be inverted prior to a race weekend... That would probably just promote sandbagging in the heat races so drivers could start up front. If you are fast enough to pass cars why does it matter? I'm just thankful we have a nice facility to race at. Just my 2 cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to qualify through your heat in order to invert, thus the heats mean something.

sm44 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 This will probably confuse more than help but thats never stopped me before...from imca website LINE-UP PROCEDURES (Unless otherwise noted, these procedures apply to all IMCA divisions.) 1. First night, all drivers draw for heats. Qualifiers redraw for starting positions. One heat – 5 redraw; two or five heats – 10 redraw; three, four or six heats – 12 redraw. NOTE: IMCA late models draw first two nights. 2. From second night on, heats are lined up by season IMCA point average, stagger inverted, lowest point average to front, highest point average to rear. New drivers carrying no point average start at the rear. Two or more drivers having no average or same point average will be lined up at discretion of officials. Point averages are figured from IMCA point system. Average is figured by driver’s track IMCA point total divided by the total number of times he/she has competed at track. 3. “B” mains are lined up straight up from heats with highest finishers to front. 4. When one heat is run, top five qualifiers will be inverted for feature lineup according to season IMCA point average. When two or five heats are run, the top 10 qualifiers will be inverted for feature lineup according to season IMCA point average. When three, four or six heats are run, top 12 qualifiers will be inverted for feature according to season IMCA point average. IMCA and promoter reserve the right to relocate a driver from an invert position to the rear of the field if deemed necessary for the safety and well-being of all involved. Remainder of “A” feature is lined up straight up from heats and/or “B” features. NOTE: IMCA late models – 18 or more cars will require at least three heats. (Half-mile tracks have the option of not using three heats until there are 22 or more cars.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Somewhere around here I still have a copy of the IMCA program(scorekeeper 3) that was done by Jeff Nun quite a while back....If I can rustle it up, the track is welcome to it....

floyd26f Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I wish all I had to worry about was if the track was going to invert the field or not. Hell I'd be happy with just getting back to a track. Go race CBS, some other track or stay home. Don't get much simpler than that. Like I said I'd be happy with just getting to race! SMH!

sm44 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 That's fine and dandy, I will race somewhere every Saturday night and some fridays, I talk to lots of people and probably more than a dozen times heard that if they got their program together they would try cbs...so its not about us worrying if they are going to invert...its whether or not they can get/keep enough cars to stay open.

Justafan4 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Lets take a poll. How would you like CBS to invert the feature races? In your response please tell how many times you have raced at CBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm44 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I would ask the fans, you want to watch follow the leader cause the fast guy started on front or some passing cause they had to work for it? With the rumors of tts closing I would hope cbs steps it up, going to be lots of cars looking for a home later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOTChassis Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 If they plan on going imca, why not start doing it that way? Otherwise, a random draw 3 or 4 row invert Paint a big box like a domino and have a fan roll it down the bleachers Raced there once and as a fan once Moving from Houston to Austin so CBS will probably be my home track, I'd love to see it do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
