Yes. I'm sure Jim takes great pride in getting timely and accurate reports to us. And then you say his reporting is sub par? He showed way more restraint than I probably would have.

Re: DRC at Englishtown

I've been sitting on my fingers about this subject for a while, but enough is enough with all the complaining about DRC! Some of you must have a pay version of it that the rest of us don't have, and thus, feel justified to feel all butt hurt about it when something is not posted to your liking. I, for one, am especially grateful that there is a website that reports on niche interest of mine, that I would otherwise never expect to have, or at the very least, have to pay for/subscribe to. When people do things for free for me, I generally make it a rule not to tell them how much I think they suck.

Jim, as a D1 fan, thank you for all you do, as well as the rest of the staff at Drag Race Central. Keep up the good work. Most of us appreciate it.

We are not even done with the first round of all classes at Englishtown. So, genius, please explain to me how I should be reporting on rounds that are not scheduled to take place until tomorrow.

If you had bothered to look at the schedule I posted this morning, you would know what was on the schedule today.

I'll tell you Dan, it is people like you on here that make me want to just give all of this up and stay home on weekend. I am sorry you are not satisfied with my performance this year. If you'd like, I can introduce you to the guy who runs this and maybe you can do it better next year.

Jim Samuel
DRC, Northeast Division

Jim let me apologize for the statements that got this whole mess started.
I have golden rule I follow which is to count to 10 before saying or writing something I will regret, we'll as you can see I didn't follow my own golden rule.
I truly am sorry for insulting your work ethic , I realize its one of the worst things someone can hear about something they obviously care a lot about.
Believe me in the future I will think before I type or say something.
Looking forward to your reporting in the future.
Thanks,
Dan Bernay

Re: DRC at Englishtown

I have complained about the same thing in the past, but I would like to give Mr. Samuel a complement tonight. I was looking at DRC and noticed 1st round eliminations for super stock not just round winners in 1st and 2nd rounds which is done at divisionals.

Mr. Samuel, I would like to thank you for being the only divisional DRC reporter who has posted complete round info and not just winners for early rounds in super stock at divisionals.

I think the problem isn't DRC. It's the D1 races are slow because of the number of racers in D1 events.

Re: DRC at Englishtown

Sincerely hope that this regretful incident between Dan and Jim is now a thing of the past. Dan's eagerness to know and Jim's challenge and dedication to report is what needs to unite rather than divide you guys.

Re: DRC at Englishtown

You can't get mad at a third party site who offers to post the race results at no cost to us. Get mad at the sanctioning body that leaves this job to others. Don't stop Jim your site is all we have, live timing is gone, and the sanctioning body doesn't seem interested in posting anything that doesn't make them a few million rubles.

Re: DRC at Englishtown

Thank U Jim & DRC, any coverage is better than no coverage! E

Re: DRC at Englishtown

Everybody I know think you guys do a great job.
Thank you!

Re: DRC at Englishtown

I was at the race running and my son was texting me to tell me what to do probably 10-20 minutes after I got back to my trailer. I thnk Jim does a great job.
