Hulk and I just shook internet hands on a 50 free Nationals gridge. The winner will be whoever gets the bigger time drop from Zones. That's a 2.28-second advantage for him.
Anyone else gridging in Austin?

This is an interesting way to do it, it'll show the effectiveness of a taper.
I got a couple. Here's one in the 100 ***:

That's my little brother, who, sandbagging like a fool, entered using my highly accurate and truthful seed times in an obvious effort to embarass me. As you might imagine, there are significant bragging rights and beer on the line.

Might as well face facts and just give him the beer before the races. Encourage him to celebrate heartily in advance of his inevitable triumphs.
I should have called you out in the 50 Free, Bill :-) Hmm, is it too late?
I get a one tenth handicap for every year I'm older than you, i.e. .6, right?

Fortress, we doing our 50 Fly vs 50 Free gridge?

No, I hate the 50 free on bulkheads! :bitching: I wish it was my 7th event. What about time drop from seed time in 100 back?
Mollie and I are racing straight up in the 50 back.

Considering that my back is a friggin trainwreck right now, taking that would just get me an ***-whoopin. But sure, what the heck.
I wish that I had not switched out the 100 Br for the 100 Back like I did. ugh.

Hey Paul
Your 50 back and my 50 fly are pretty close. Shall we gridge for beers?
Define 'pretty close' :wine:
If it's my seed time which at the time was the best time, then I have to warn you, i've went 26.48 2 weeks ago at Zones.
EDIT: (whoops, that's MY 50 Fly time, I thought it was your 50 back vs my 50 fly, my mistake).
Sure, sounds good to me. That does look like a close one. Want to make best relative to seed time? Or just go straight up?

Sure, sounds fair to me. Unless you seriously sandbagged your time, I should be able to cover that. Went 23.68 at Zones 2 weeks ago.
