Larry, here's to getting it all back together and on the road to Indy!
I'll share what a friend of mine once said - 'Things are looking up! When you're flat on your back that's the only way you can look!'

I don't think many of us had service!!

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 

First round was crazy. Evidently there were no shows that had pre-entered and they put them all at the bottom of the sheets along with the dqs from yesterday. So there were singles first round. They said all of those got a grade point but were n shows. This is all rumors. But there were singles! Maybe an official wlll get on here with an Explanation[/QUOTE]

How does one get on the list and not even be at the race? I know of one car on the list that is at the NMCA race.

My $0.02 and probably wrong but...

With online entry / tech card submittal and no tech, you really don’t know who is in attendance. When making the ladder, the safe bet is to place all entries on ladder.

If we would have gotten the scheduled two qualifying runs, I bet they wouldn’t have put the no shows on the sheet.

Mail order grade points now?

That’s BS everyone in attendance had to sign in to get a wristband at the gate to enter the facility!

The reason might be with the electronic entry there is no refund. Once you enter and your tech card is accepted you are part of the event wether you like it or not. I would assume it also counts as one of you allotted events. So if you entered in a double event and did not show you just burned 2 events that you can claim points. This is a weird year for racing so there will be some idiosyncrasies. Just get out there and have some fun.

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 

why would a racer have to claim the no show grade points. best 5

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 

From NHRA Competition: 6/15/ 2020

For a Participant to enter a Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series or National Open event and receive a grade point. The Driver and vehicle must be present at the event. The car at the event must be legal for the class being entered. Any abuse of this system will constitute the forfeiture of entry and grade point. No refunds or exchanges when entry is purchased online and not showing at event.

[QUOTE=Larry Hill;622178]Well we have had a bad day.....
Actually your day wasn’t as bad as Stephen and Horace Johnson. ....On Sunday the superstock Fairlane entered the water box and exploded the engine, BIG TIME....parts and SMOKE everywhere... And I am sure that FE Ford isn’t cheap to put back together.

The internet here this weekend has been nothing short of HORRIBLE.....

5 30 pm Sunday and they just pulled the plug as more rains have arrived. Stock got thru round 2 but I don’t believe superstock finished their second round of eliminations.....

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional

Another rain delay... this one did a good job of wetting the track down.

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 

Mother nature doesn't want to cooperate.

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 

Should have just postponed the whole event

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
