There were around 90 cars that decided to stick around and partake in the Heads-up Shootout. Plenty of people had speculated that it would end up being 200 cars, and some thought they'd be lucky to get 20 cars, because street car guys don't like getting whooped by someone obviously faster.
I was actually surprised that with it happening so late in the day, that so many stuck around. They built the ladder based on everyone's quickest pass, and put us on a sportsman ladder. Dale's 9.21 and my 10.49 meant we were on the fast side of the ladder. John's 11.04 must've been near breaking point for the slow side, as he was paired with the number 2 car in the shootout, while Darren's 11.07 left him with number 3, and Boone's 11.11 moved him into the spot facing the number 4 car in the shootout, all unlimited rides.
They brought all the cars to the lanes and parked us on an angle at each side, then started pulling pairs into the middle. At first the lane directors attempted to do this on their own, but eventually asked us to come and find our pair on the sheet, and try to find who we were racing and fall in line.
