I'm confused..... I thought 77 was my after car, yet it shows it raced in the Before race? Or am I just being goofy as usual?


  • yea, i got the # wrong on the brackets, check the time by lane pages...... before #76, after #77, — model40fan
  • OK — KandORacing
  • i also didn't drop fred's 14 into the loser's bracket... this is the last double eliminations that i will run.. i will host , single elims — model40fan
  • I've always hated double elimination races anyway, I'm not allowing double eliminations in my Matchbox series — KandORacing
  • don't get me wrong, i think any host that wants to run double elims can... — model40fan
  • Single Eliminations are definitely easier, but double allows for better placement — JDC442
  • In the rules on my Matchbox series it only allows single eleminiations though. — KandORacing

Smitty, it looks like the top bracket may actually be the "After" bracket.  Traction #5, Delta #6 and Nightstalkers #8 fast mods doing well makes more sense being in the first bracket you have labeled as the "Before" bracket.  I could be wrong, just wanted you to check it out.

Thanks for running the races Smitty.  Can't wait to see the cars here in B'ham -maybe Delta will let me help him run the races again.  Always a good time!

I pooched both brackets... Where most losers drop straight down, in a later round the loser drops down but also forward one row, that threw me off in both brackets, I dropped the #2 straight down, but that's where #8 & #14 should have been...I also noticed that I moved TE's DNF on and dropped TNF's #17 down to the loser's bracket by mistake...

.................

. Too many mistakes to let it go... 442 is going to save my bacon by re-running the cars this week, I'll be shipping them Saturday AM...We can use the Auburn time differences with his results...

.................

 As posted in a thumbs up above, I won't be running future double eliminations, too much for this old brain... I will host almost any race series, but at my house, it will be single eliminations only... 


  • Doubles are too much for my brain, and I'm only 16! — KandORacing

No surprises in the Before race (similar results to Spokane), so I'm just going to post the finished bracket.

The "AFTER" race was more interesting, so I'll post a play by play of the race, then a picture of the Finished Bracket along with a shot of the Bellingham "AFTER" champion, and you might not guess who it is....


  • What was the final track lay out??? — Traction-Event
