2. Click on the “First Round Pairing” button to pair up the vehicles in the order for your
ladder. The Program will prompt you for a Pro Ladder if 4,8,16, or 32 vehicles are in the
ladder. The vehicles will be paired in their appropriate order for Eliminations at this
point.
3. Click on “Pairing List “ so that the first round of pairing will be available to print for your
staging crew. The pairing list is used to pair up the vehicles in the staging lanes prior to
the race. The “LANE” indicates the Entry that has lane choice. You can print a Pairing
list up every round and the “LANE” will change based on the driver and vehicle’s
performance in the previous round. If then qualified by ET the racer with the quicker
E.T. in the previous round will get Lane Choice. If they qualified by RT then the racer
with the better RT gets lane choice. If they qualified by Closest to Dial, then the racer
closest to dial in the previous round gets lane choice.
PAIRING LIST -- NOTE: This is only a partial list as shown on the P.C. Screen

complete. The report will be printed with all round results and will indicate the top
Eliminator of the category.

editor in the DataLog section of the Post Process Program.
