Getting down to setting the pairings.... K N O,  I need the bracket layout...

 we now have 31 cars, that's 31 cars and 1 bye in a 32 car single elimination format...

we have 1 team with only 1 car...IMO. he draws the bye...

.......or.......

if we get 2 more cars, 33... what do you want to do...

 not giving me much time to do any staging photos...or do the racers care if we skip them ?...

.....your call...


  • How about one group photo so we can show off our new shoes....Stroller — Stroller
  • Just grab a random rollable MB car out of your stash an run it under the name Phill as in Fillin...32 cars is a perfect bracket — Stroller

I'll make up both different brackets for 31 cars & 33 cars, in case we only end up racing with 31. You & the other hosts will give a random single to a random car (draw the numbers on pieces of paper out of a hat). The first car number drawn will get the single.

ATTENTION ALL HOSTS! Please use the 31 or 33 car ladders off this website at ALL venues in this series:

http://raceamerica.com/download/ladders/ladr48s.pdf

Depending on if the other 2 cars show up, we will have 31 or 33 cars. If we have 31, please find the 31 car ladder in the first link. If we end up with 33 cars, please find & use the 33 car ladder in the 2nd link.

Thank you!!!!


  • why not just add 1 car and run a 32 car race. 32 is a perfect race number — Stroller
  • Well, if we do, it better be a beater that can't win.... — KandORacing

OK guys, new plan. If the other 2 cars don't show up, Smitty has agreed to having a stock '55 Buick run in the race to fill the brackets, so we have an even 32.


Weekend racing, I love this stuff!!!

Good luck RLD racers...
