Couple of points on an inverted start in a random sort/Reedy format
  • Its really not inverted because there is no qualifying order.
  • One of the things with a Reedy format is that all of the racers get a chance to start near the front approximately the same amount of times and have to start from the rear approximately the same amount of times - inverting the sort order for X number of races will unfairly penalize some of the racers and unfairly reward others.

I would like to politely suggest that rather than inverted maybe use rolling, lemans, single file, and side by side as starting formats?

What version of Liquid Wrench are people using? L103? L112? L106?

Local VTA racing in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Age and treachery (Gary McAllister) versus youth and exuberance (Vin Baldacchino). Age and treachery won, but Vin is the up and coming star!!
