Toby, I just got back from the March Meet and watched your Q3 stock video. Thanks for the shot of Ryan. I caught the plug.

Toby,
Great video's Thanks so much for doing those and this thread. Also thanks to the Class Racer member that post the Live Tower Feed. Sorry I cannot remember what member post that. But THANK YOU! I wish all of the tracks would do that.

I went on the live feed a few minutes ago to only catch the last 4 runs of the Super Stock first round of the day and 3 were singles. Stock was before that. Is there anyway of getting today's schedule so we do not miss anymore Stock and Super Stock rounds.

Loved the stock in the lanes video. It is always good to put a face with a car. Looks like it was plenty chilly that morning! Keep up the good work.

Matt,

You can see the schedule here:

They DQ'd the truck again. The reason I heard was they didn't have the proper grill on it as Randy Hutchings pointed out yesterday. Could be just an excuse because I haven't heard of anybody getting kicked out for incorrect body parts in a long time.

I was able to film a lot of the first round of Stock because I was the third pair out. I got Super Stock first round also.

Toby, thanks for encluding a shot of Jon Irvings new SS/MA Aspen
(the old Larry Harrell stocker). It's good to see that car out running
again after all these years of being in storage.

Re: Live from the Las Vegas LODRS
 

Well, I just had an interesting race with Calvert's CJ. They were getting ready to pull us out to run and I looked over to see what his dial-in was. They still only had the 10. on there. I knew he had run a 10.40 in the first round. When we got to the water box they had his dial as a 10.00 on the little dial-in readouts they have in front of the water box. I thought maybe they hopped it up with the laptop and were trying to screw with me.

We did our burn outs and next thing I know the starter is radioing to the tower to change his dial to a 10.41. The starter comes over to me and says they had to change his dial and I told him I know they had a 10 flat on it when we pulled out to go to the water box. He asked me if I wanted to contest it. I thought about it for a while. I know John and he's a real nice guy and has treated Jim and I real good over the years, but it's not my fault they wait until the last second to put their dial on. So I said I wanted to contest it.

Then the starter said we would have to back out while he got a ruling. People have told me they saw them put the dial-in on in the water box. I mean what is there to rule on? We were about the 4th from last pair and they said we would be the last pair out. I wasn't even sure what the ruling was, but I thought it was pretty obvious.

While we were waiting to go John was under the hood, taking the throttle stop off I imagine. Then when we were in the burn out box I saw his dial was 10.00 like it should have been in the first place. I figured they would pick up some, but I didn't think they would pick up that much, so I backed off on the tree. I had a .067 and he had a .008. I got there first by .004 but broke out .01. They ran a 10.05.

I watched it live.

Re: Live from the Las Vegas LODRS
 

I cannot believe it. Right in the middle of the Stock Eliminator round. The live feed quits. That sucks. :mad:

Re: Live from the Las Vegas LODRS
 

..............and back to a 10.44 in Round 3!:rolleyes:

Re: Live from the Las Vegas LODRS
 

Toby - The officials should not have asked you to contest the infraction - rules are rules for everyone - if your opponent broke those rules why make you decide ?

Beside that - I would have not guessed he'd pick-up that much ( well maybe with his throttle stop adjusted ) and run that close to his new dial ............Guess we all learned a lesson from your run - never back off the tree .............
