Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Thanks to Jack Matyas and Doug Walker for all the photos. I have 2 favorites among the photos.

1 - - 64 Ford Liteweight

2 - - 55 Chevy Nomad

Thanks to Bobby Fazio for the video. Interesting how each of the drivers interact with you. Some are very open and some seem restrained.

Anyway, great coverage guys. Curious - how many records have been set there??

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

No live stream, the computer died.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Thanks RNNChrisbarnes...
They will need a strong support from PCRichard.com and Micro Strategies...

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Streaming will not be on today because of yesterdays hard crash of the computer that controls it .

We've been down for more than an hour because of a huge oil down -just after the starting line to past the shutdown area.

Still a super day for racing here and we will continue till completion or the dew comes in .

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

That 64 Ford was called a Heavy Weight in all the sales info!

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

A Big Thanks To Bobby Fazio.
He’s Got The Live Stream Working !!!
Bobbys Thee Man, hands down……

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Nice to see Charlie Bubka runner up.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Would love to see a qualifying sheet. Were any records set?

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Thanks buddy, they asked me to check it out and fortunately I was able to fix it! Here's some Super Stock Lanes walking:

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Todd Hoven set the AA/SA record at 9.465 @138.63 in the Al Carp, Ray Barton powered Hemi Coronet. A big congrats to All!!

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Thank you, PM me if you have any contact info.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

He is on Facebook if that helps

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Thought I saw an R on Shane’s and Glenn’s back glass? Did they reset the G and H records? So many really fast runs no doubt more records could have been set, Dan Blabolil’s and Jason’s Buicks are simply mind numbing fast, look forward to seeing some sheets posted on DRC.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Good morning to all,
Yes, Glenn and Shane did set new National Records for there classes.
I'm sure someone will fill in the details a little later, I'm not sure who else was in the Barn. I was there on Saturday only.
Congrats to all that set records also Winners and Runner Ups.

Respectfully,
Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA

Hemi Shootout Round 1 Eliminations from the stands. It was originally a Facebook Live so the quality is only 480dpi. I display each winning time. Enjoy.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

You know, I don't get surprised too often by race coverage, but this race has me perplexed. The Dutch Classic is one of the premier National Opens held in the USA. How it's not on DRC, wasn't streamed by NHRA.tv, and generally looks like a race that was held in a vacuum is astonishing. When it happens to the Sacramento National Open (held in June, with low car counts, and very few records set....), I ignore it as "par for the course," but how does this same phenomenon happen for the Dutch?

It shouldn't...

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

And absolutely no results on the division fb page or on DRC.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

The race was live streamed on YouTube Fri & Sat.
Saturday the computer went down until sometime in the afternoon
when it was fixed by Bobby Fazio.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Bubski would like to congratulate the new National Record holders !! You laid it on the line and opened your hood for tech crew to do their job !! That’s what Class Racing is all about !! Bravo !!

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

The track was amazing all weekend and the staff was super friendly!
This is a must go to race.
Plenty of super fast cars.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

I agree the Dutch Classic is a very special race. And like most others here, I wish it could have been covered. Why the NHRA was MIA is not something I have any informaton about, but DRC was included and facts need to be provided.

It seems this has become my designated role here. I haven't talked to Rick, but I'm fairly certain there are 2 reasons that nothing showed on DRC.

First, no one sponsored DRC's coverage. Everyone here knows how much it costs to travel, stay, and eat at a weekend event. When Summit left, if no one stepped up all that money would come directly out of the reporter's pocket.
RIck has been at this a long time, loves and understands the sport, and is dedicated enough to slog through as many races as he can. But in saying that, I wonder if anyone here expects him to pull a grand or more out of his pocket just to be a nice guy.

Second, as long as DRC (and FastNews) has existed, any track that transmits the session data WILL have their event covered. Sadly, not in near-real time, but when the data is received the reports are generated.
The "lanes unknown, winner listed first" tag is an indication that the reports are being generated by the data sent by the track - since that's exactly how the system generates them and does not include lane designation.

Not directed at you, but calling out DRC in this case is pretty unfair. If people want to throw rocks, they are certainly free to try and get NHRA credentials, access to the clock data, type in all the info, and do it themselves.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

I agree,it was all good except what happened to the portapotties? They were usually all over the place! ,Bill Taylor B/S 1005.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Let’s be clear: I didn’t call out DRC and never have. The fact of the matter is the results weren’t available on DRC and that’s all I said.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

Jared, I agree and should have done an edit making it clear I knew you weren't doing that. My apologies.

It was more a case of wanting to make sure anyone reading the message had the facts. And in looking at your post again, I can now see it could be read as you wondering why none of the businesses in drag racing chose to do the sponsorship. Again, I should have worded things better.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

I can’t log on and watch the races all day, I have things to do like everyone else. Almost ….seems like they’re pushing us to log in a watch rather than spot check results when you can. Last two races info was not available and thank god friends pushed Q sheets out to us. Whatever was wrong , I hope they can fix it. I notice that’s not the problem at Nats…. 🤷*♂️ Just sayin….

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

As long as we are discussing DRC on this post,who writes the comments?
It gets tough to follow.

Bye run.
He will race Land and Mangus will get the bye next round.

Who is Land and how can a guy that lost get a bye next round?

This is from Las Vegas.

Re: Live from the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
 

In the Larry Sullivan (RIP) and Summit collaboration days we were spoiled and current reporting (or lack there of) continues to create frustration for all of us hooked on the almost instantaneous results feed. Live timing can sometimes fill the gap but like all of NHRA’s digital services it’s cumbersome at best. I took Dan Bennett’s original post as he intended (and not as a slight to Jared) in that a company(s) that would step up to better fund DRC and streaming live services would gain a lot of good will in the racing community. If we fail to patronize and support them then then it’s more or less the same as the old adage “voters most often get the government they deserve”. To that I would mention that I was hot footing it home from New York and had the opportunity for stop by for Friday morning’s action at the Dutch. Wish I had time to visit and spectate longer but had to be home on Saturday. Wow, what a track in an unbelievably picturesque setting. Hope to race there next year.
