Gentlemen, we will have to do our ladder manually for our Pro 10 Double Index.

This means after each qualifying I have to put the numbers in a spreadsheet. I have been working on automating most of it but PLEASE bear with me, this might be difficult first time around.

I want to give you a look at what I will be working with.
This should answer some of the questions of how we will sit in qualifying.

Remember we are mixed index and we are qualifying by how close we come to our index.

VERY IMPORTANT.
When you fill out your tech card, put 10 o 10.5 on the the class section.
Also put P10 or P10.5 on the car.

Here is a picture of what my qualifying spread sheet looks.
Don't kill me, I used registered drivers only in the sample. I guessed at what index each driver will be running for the sample



Now remember we run on a sportsman ladder so based on the qualifying rankings in the picture above, this is how our ladder would look.






If I can help answer any questions now, please ask.

Qualifying Procedure
Drivers will all wait in the pits until called to the lanes. You will be called to the lanes and each index will be in a separate lane. For example the call may be, "Cartek Pro 10 drivers to the lanes. 10.0 to lane x and 10.50 to lane x". You will notice I don't know the lanes right now so you have to listen carefully. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT you go in the correct lane. If a driver goes into the incorrect lane, your qualifying will be counted against the index in that lane. Drivers, let's police ourselves and make sure the driver in front and behind you is in the right lane as well.

Thank you
