Missing the Ladders

[mastertone]

Don't care for the new Sunday ladders on NHRA.Com, no reaction times, am I looking in the wrong place? And according to other sites they are totally incorrect!

Where are you seeing ladders at all? On the new results pages they do have r/t and all the incrementals, but no ladders that I see.

They just posted some on the front page of NHRA.com useless.

The new results page sucks on their site.

If you go to the sportsman section of the ladders, they don't show r.t, e.t, m.p.h. They had the whole offseason to develop the new site.

Oh, I see those on the front page. The pro ladders are, meh, and the sportsman totally useless. You can get the info if you go to the results pages, but it would be a lot of clicking back and forth to correlate it with the ladders. I made good use of the Feedback button.....

Honestly, it feels like the new site has been dumbed-down for newbies and I only use the front page as a portal to either the schedule or the detailed results page.

But it might also be a marketing gimmick for you the user to do all the stupid navigating so they can jam all the ad-sponsor support down your throat. Just a logical thought.

You can get timely qualifying ladders on www.DragRaceCentral.com , along with end of round results right away! For qualifying, they can't be posted until NHRA Race Control approves. For most classes, during eliminations, once a class gets below 32 cars, the reporter will post next round matchups.

I discovered this too. The problem with the sportsman qualifying and ladders, is they're all based on Pro style qualifying and laddering. In other words, indexes and sportsman laddering aren't taken into account. In Stock, Super Stock, and Comp the number one qualifier was the car with the lowest ET and not the car farthest under his/her index. As for the ladder, there were 12 cars in Comp and the ladder was 1v12, 2v11, 3v10 instead of the sportsman style of 1v7, 2v8, 3v9.

Pretty shocking there was never any QA done. Web developers are not necessarily drag racing fans so it's understandable if they didn't know any better, but there should be someone or some group double checking to make sure the code that is being written matches up with the rules of the sport.

I always use dragracecentral but I thought I'd take a look at the NHRA results with the site being revamped and all. Obviously, I'm sticking with DRC.

Can you show me an example of this ladder?
