DRC isn't much help either since it's always so late.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Smug and uncaring. NHRA not DRC.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

For some reason mine is still working...

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I understand that. DRC can only show what NHRA computers show. No disrespect to DRC.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Where did you find it?

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Mine is still working as well. I’m just watching from the Nhra.tv link right off their site. Just call FS/XX and Top Sportsman

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

DRC is posting results..
Yay.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

The NHRA.tv feed is working for me also - Stock is on the line. Let's see how long it lasts?

Try refreshing the page or clicking the "Live" button in the bottom left corner.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I didn't subscribe to the broadcast so I guess it won't work for me.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

The pace of this event, or at least the reporting is maddening.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

How late are they going to be able to run tonight? There's still a lot of sportsman cars yet to go.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I'll be damned. Live timing is back up on NHRA.com.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

You can follow along "almost LIVE" on the NHRA live timing link.....

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

It was turned off for a while after the pros ran.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

It's been working fine for me

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I'M still watching also! 8:00 EST

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Son of a gun! All this time I had no idea they were back up and have been trying to keep track myself! Ugh!! You'd think, oh never mind....

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Top Sportsman is up now, Super Stock is in the lanes and should be next. They will finish tonight if all goes well with no mishaps. I'm taking lots of photos, I mostly likely wont be able to edit them until I get home.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Fletcher hanging tough!! Who won that super stocker? Thanks for all you do Ken.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

NHRA.TV is still going and is great

I know it doesn't belong on here but a local boy done good. Jay Payne took TAFC.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

My feed has been non stop since Wednesday, glad to have had it!!

Note: Stinks a career defining win will come in front of 6 people at 11pm but I'm sure they wouldn't trade it for anything! Good luck to all still in, in all classes

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Semi Finals in stock.... 3 of the 4 are H/SA cars

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Bill Skillman over Arthur Kohn in the FSS final - not sure why the FSS eliminations aren't showing up on DRC?

Doug Hamp and Stephen Bell were the semifinalists.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Audio went silent @ 2140! Live timing is "stuck" on the FS/XX final!


Have to wait until DRC updates!

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

It's all froze.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Did they call it till tomorrow? Nothing is showing up anywhere.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Naturally as soon as I said that everything popped up. Congrats to everybody that stuck through the marathon.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Its on DRC Austin Williams had a perfect light and won a heads up final round.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Love the heads up runs! A reminder to all if the “it’s just a bracket race” people. Congratulations for an exciting final in stock!

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

back a few pages (39) Buick "wheelie of the week" gets my vote. Who the hell is that? nice!

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

If you are referring to the white Buick Apollo midway down the page, that would be Bill Jenkins. Not the man we're used to calling "Grumpy"(r.i.p.)
another Bill Jenkins. An yes it is nice.
BTW: Does anyone know what happened to W.J. I read in this post earlier that he'd crashed his Camaro in the back to school race against Greg Anderson. Is he o.k.? Any details would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Walt

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Did they not even run the factory stock showdown during the pro eliminations?

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

They did run first round during Pro eliminations but think they are so focused on keeping the live TV coverage going (they were broadcasting on the main FOX channel) that think they are risk averse to anything that could interfere. Seeing Falcone wreck his COPO (and saving Allen Johnson in the process) in first round I kind of understand their logic but they spool up so many interviews and segments to fill the dead time that it’s not very entertaining to watch unless you’re recording it so you can zip through it. Pleasantly surprised they showed as much Pro Stock as they did and Pro Mod was treated as second string just like FSS. Even with weather challenges I was surprised by the relatively empty stands. NHRA and NASCAR are lock step in figuring out how to keep driving away the fans.

Side note: kudos to Sterling for making a run and hated to see Cotten have problems after another great light and has anybody ever seen so many redlights? It apparently scared many because saw some very untypical late lights by some great racers.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Yes, WJ is OK. They interviewed him and did an autograph session the next day. I should've mentioned that in my post.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Thanks Nick. It's appreciated.
Walt

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

What happened to Mike Cotten? I must have missed it.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

WJ is fine, he did a long burn out and the car got away from him.

They were supposed to do the rest of first round eliminations, but there was not enough time. It was a shame as the racing was good, lots of tight racing throughout the rounds. Hopefully DRC will have the numbers up later today.

Good morning everyone and we are still here. I have photos of Mondays action, but I want to hit the road so check back tomorrow as editing will take a while. We had a great heads up final in Stock and the FSS final was very cool with Bill Skillman doing a 300 foot plus power wheelstand for the win. I think I got the photos, its tough to get good ones at night.

My thoughts on how Indy 2019 went. Parking was a nightmare, and my appreciation and thanks goes to the parking crew. They were short handed and worked none stop to fix a mess that should have never been.
In my opinion they was no excuse for the way it was handled.

As far as tech went I will have to say that there were more cars looked at than I have seen it a long while. There were lots of tech officials on hand and I believe there was 12 Stockers torn down and 8 Super Stockers, with a total of 4 cars getting bounced. Checking carbs and throttle bodies for all class winners was a welcome surprise, it was hectic but they got it done.

As far a racing goes, well you forget about parking, tech and you say its cool to be at Indy. Visiting with old friends, meeting new ones. Its a crazy feeling Indy with lots of emotional swings. You want to be here, and its a long week, but with the parking fiasco and the rain delays you say to yourself, do I come back next year. Well the answer for me is.... Hell Ya!, I'll be back.

I don't get to respond to all your post, but I do read them. Without you guys and girls there would be no Class Racer, I appreciate all your support, more than you know. Its a unique community with a wide variety of a opinions, and we may not always get along, but I don't think I would want it any other way.

I'm ready to hit the road, so don't forget to check back tomorrow. My next live from will be from Maple Grove in two weeks.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Ken,
Thank you for all you do. You are better than the TV coverage.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Not sure, watching on NHRAtv and he obviously slowed early into the run. Perhaps he’ll post something because I was rooting for either him or Sterling to get the BIG GO Wally. The NHRAtv broadcasts had its up and downs but after plunking down my money for the first time for their broadcast I’d have to say it was worthwhile. Probably wouldn’t have done it if Warren wasn’t involved in the Wednesday/Thursday segments. Already looking forward to Norwalk, with all of the withdrawals it should be pretty fast paced. Would have gone myself (Norwalk on the bucket list) but evacuating (mandatory for us) this morning due to Dorian. You guys worry about earthquakes, we watch the weather channel August and September.
