Yes Jeff, Mr. Hill bought the car last year, then did some bartering with Mr. Gaynor.

Super Stock Q4 is now up. I put it up as the featured video. I didn't take any video for the final Stock run because I didn't think I could top the last one.

Good luck to all racers tomorrow.

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:

http://dragracecentral.com/DRCStory....23707#indextop


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.

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 .............

Exactly correct.....as Jack said.

Once you pass a certain point you cannot change your dial-in......usually the head of the staging lanes.....definately no way you can change it once your at the burnout area.....


and you also can't change your dial-in for a rerun if something causes that to occur...

No need to wait for a ruling......just need to have some track officials that know the rules.......

Anytime you take an opponent ligthly it can come back to bite you.....I've been bitten many times.....too many....

Hi Toby,

First thing......
Thanks for posting the videos & pix it's almost as if we are there (not really).

Second thing.....
That 2nd round run of Calvert's in A/SA was 1.14 under the Altitude Corrected Index. Did they change the AFHS this year to count ALL runs Altitude & LODRS events????Should that run in A/SA set a trigger point for that combo???

At one point, I thought that I understood the AHFS, but now I think I don't????

Thanks again for the great race coverage,
Bob

Toby Lang 03-28-2011 01:36 AM
Re: Live from the Las Vegas LODRS
 
Stock and Super Stock round ones are now up. The others will follow shortly except round 2 of Stock.

Bob,

I believe Calvert's combo is the same as Skillman's combo which received an automatic hit of 19 HP after Gainseville. I think the only way the combo will get anymore HP this review period is to get another automatic hit.


-Toby

Tom Moock 03-28-2011 02:17 AM
Re: Live from the Las Vegas LODRS
 
Toby, Calvert Mustang runs a 428 and Skillman runs a 331. Bob Mulry i called Bruce, runs at altitude corrected tracks count on AHFS. Tom

Bob Mulry 03-28-2011 02:55 AM
Re: Live from the Las Vegas LODRS
 
Tom & Toby,

Thanks for the heads up on the rule change.

In the past it was 1.40 under the uncorrected sea level index.

Now I know why there have been no fast runs at Las Vegas.

I guess that all of the records now will be .99 under the index......

Looks like the AHFS is working or not.


Thanks,
Bob

A good example of ''Mickey Mouse officials'' that do not inforce the rules and play games...
What will be done about it to avoid a repeat...probably NOTHING.....

Just click on the quote button on the bottom right of the post and delete everything but the text you are replying to (don't delete the brackets or anything inside them though.)

I guess it's pretty hard to do as there are people on here with more than 2000 posts who STILL can't edit a quote properly.
