Thank you for clearing that up. I have hours in my SS car, one day I will have the tools to start from scratch. I will be racing with you pros now because I earned my badge at nationals, but beleive me when I say I don't consider myself pro quite yet but I will get there. Look forward to racing with you all in August, hopefully I will have my first SP done for that race. (Time to go shopping at DD4H)
NPWDRL SCHEDULE!
- Thread starter DerbyDad4Hire
- Start date
I am one of the guys who still gets pre-drilled bodies from John. I do not have the tools. As everyone can see, in my 4 years racing I have yet to win a race. So, as it has been said that things can still be goofed up, I am the prime example. Nobody has ever built a car for me or even tuned one for that matter. I do what I can do. What is the fun of not building your own. Realistically I should be in the AM since my times are more likely to be there. However, I worked my way up at one time to race the pro and even the elite for a short time. I will stay in the Pro's and take my victories or lumps wherever they land knowing I built the cars I submit.

I agree, you've got to have some skin in the game. Makes those victories, even if it's just a heat win, that much better.
I totally agree to be in the am class the car should be built by an am not a pro!!
John, good luck in your move hope that everything goes well.

I hope that is the case with a lot of the guys up north that usually come live. I know John has been going back and forth for a few months on this decision. Never a easy one to make but when you put the family first things will fall in place. That being said I'm super excited for the new location I know it will continue to offer us racers the best place and venue to race at!!!!! So who will be the Man of the Mountain?!?!??!

I bet you are excited QT! with every move the DD4H shop keeps getting closer to you!
As long as John is the captain of the pwd ship then location doesn't matter.... my cars will make it 2-3 day priority no matter where you have the race!

I have an idea. You man up and get a track. If she doesn't like it, show her the door!
If any of you have ever met my wife, you will know just how full of crap i am.....hahahahahaha!

Jewelry, Dinner, Day at the spa, food, massage, time alone with no kids, whatever it takes. I have tried many, many times to get a test track still nothing
So, I'm going to have to stop racing for a few months to save up money to buy a track. Either that or knock over a few convenience stores in the area. Stupid
@Newkidontheblock, what I read was that you may wear the pants in the family, but she tells which ones to wear.
It's all in fun....

For purposes of clarification, I know I missed something along the way. I've read myself into oblivion.
I understand the 8 unique builders to qualify. It was used at Nationals on a per class basis.
BUT! Is there a points leader in every class SS Am, SS Pro, SP, etc... Let's say I ran 2 classes and someone else ran all (5) classes. Are there chances better than mine based on what I think I'm reading or is it as I'm suggesting, per class? If it is per class, is there a championship round for each class? And if so, then how is the overall title of MOTM determined?
I maybe just too tired to think straight right now. I've read this way too may times! Help!

8 qualifiers per class. The overall man of the mountain will be determined by who has the lowest overall avg time in all 5 classes. The same way it was done at Nationals. Each class will have it own man of the mountain winner.
Thanks for the response, I'll get some rest now! /images/boards/smilies/sleep.gif

I just wanted to confirm this, since somehow I won the SS-am tonight will I stay in SS-am until this tourney concludes and then go to SS-pro in the next race? I thought I heard you say on the audio feed that I was going to the pros.
Also, will there be a page listing the points earned in each qualifier and are the points earned by the car or the builder? Sorry, I'm new here!
