"Live" from St. Louis 2020 double divisional

[oldskool]

I've noticed that many of these threads seem to be tilted towards Stock, with lots less mention of SS.

Just watched a bit of DRTV coverage of today's action. In SS, Don Kennedy was #1 qualifier. Was the only car a sec under. Maybe some of the others stayed slower, on purpose ?

Anyhow, Don K. also won his 1st round.

Since DRC don't post the results for div races 'til late at night. I'd like to see qualifying sheets posted here, for both Stock AND Super Stock. Guessing I'm probably not the only one.

I like the pics too. But most of us already know what the cars look like. I like to know how they do during the race, BEFORE DRC posts anything, late at night or early the next morning.

There seem to usually be several members here, at most div races. Maybe a wife, girl friend, husband, child or crew member present at the race could make it a point to take time to post the sheets, so the rest of us will know what's happening.

Hey, it's just a suggestion. But, it would make some of the races more enjoyable, for those of us who can't be there. It would keep us from continually saying stuff like: "Wonder who showed up at that race ?", or "Wonder how qualifying went ?", or "Wonder who survived that round ?", OR ?????

Oldskool try looking at live timing during the race. It will show qualifying after the runs.
I’m old like you and don’t Facebook.
Sometimes we just want to sit and relax.

Yeah, I understand the old, as well as the sit & relax part.

It seems that, for many races, live timing does not work, at all. And, even when it does, there always seem to be lots of mistakes with the info there. I have sometimes reported one thing, because of what was on live timing, then had to go back & correct what I'd posted, after the DRC lists were posted.

Just thought that out of all the people at the races, maybe just one of 'em could post at least one Q-list for Stock & one for SS, maybe before dark that day. Hey, it ain't a life & death thang. Would just be nice.

Lots of young folks stay on either their phone or computer during most of the hours they are awake, every day. Some send dozens(maybe hundreds) of text messages per day. For those who know how to do it, posting a couple of Q-lists would probably not take more than a very few minutes of their day.

But hey, us fans will just have to take what we can get. Between live timing, DRTV, & DRC, we'll get by, I reckin. I remember visiting my grandparents when i was a kid. They had no electricity & no indoor plumbing. Had a wood stove & fireplace, kerosene lamps for light, a 2-holer outhouse, and you had to draw water from an open well, or haul it from a nearby creek. No radio, no TV, & certainly no cell phones or computers.

But, my Mom as well as her several brothers & sisters grew up just fine, without all the things we now have & take for granted. Yeah, especially in rural America, we've come a long way since the 1950's.

Good luck to all racers today ! Ya'll have fun & be safe !
