Ken,

Sorry your weekend ended so soon. I really enjoyed the reporting, especially the in-car videos! I think you've started a new trend!

Please be safe on the way home! See you at the next "Big Go!"

Gentleman Bobby Warren won first round with a 10.04 @ 131.xx! Congrats!! It just keeps getting faster. No surprise there. Just love watching him. Gives me hope.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

There is very little if any performance advantage to the alum.ctr.sec. so why does it even matter!? Just random BS from the tech guys!

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Ken.....It is US who thank you ! Have a safe trip home.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

From the looks of it....everyone is flying 3 Pro Stockers in the 6.40's..wow!

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Ken, you brought up the live reports up another notch...also appreciate all and any live reports from contibutors on this site which makes time go a little faster for all those on the sidelines wishing we could be there....
Many thanks to you and all.
Have as safe drive and stay well.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Thanks for all the great reports and have a safe drive home.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

S/SS Combo at Piedmont on Sunday if you're passing through on the way home... :cool:

LOVE the in-car stuff. Can't wait to see the Fletcher/Perrone race. Master class, threading the needle there! Thanks for all you do, Ken.

I wonder about the .09 quicker, though.... I didn't see that out of many cars. Remember too that the faster the car, the less it's going to move with the air change. Saw a pretty significant number of runs where people were waaaay slow. Starting line issues, or engine issues downtrack?

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

I'll try to keep up on things, cause we will be here till Sunday night or Monday morning before heading to Belle Rose

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like super comp and comp will get the shaft again . They will be running under the lights again . The temp is starting to drop !

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

can i see a show of hands of anyone surprised by that fact?

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Canceled SC for the night, great call, its getting cold here

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Ken,

Thank you for the great "Live From" reports from Gainesville. Your straight-to-the-point commentary, innovative in-car videos, and superb photo skills have taken "Live From" reporting to a new level of excellence.

Don't go home - go to another race, any race, and report "Live From."

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Thanks Kenny......great job.....

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Thanks for the reports and videos. They're really appreciated here in the Great White North.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Thanks for videos and updates and pictures in the pits. Hope to see you at the 4 wide. I have picture to give you from last year. I'll find you on Thursday, the only day I get to come this year, but then again its the only day more than worth the price of admission.

See ya.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Really great in car videos......Thanks Ken...

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Ken, I love the in car videos ! Just dont let Fletch have the helmet cam option again ! He moved around so much, early in, I thought something was wrong with your camera !!

J/k ! All are very good !!

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

The way that guy wins, maybe we all need to move our heads more? :-)

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

"GREEN" enough first round?http://www.classracer.com/classforum...cons/icon7.gif

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Thanks Ken for doing what you do. Like Toby,,you guys are taking the "Live From" reports to another level. We out here appreciate it.
The "in-car" shots from the 4-wide should be pretty cool,,especially from lane 2 or 3 with cars on both sides,,,crazy stuff. Take care.
Danny Durham

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Thanks for the updates. I see why Skillman has a parachute on a Stocker now. sheesh.

Hopefully Ken can capture a 4 wide side by side by side by side heads up AA/SA run.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Mahalo! Your coverge, pics, and videos are awesome!

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Just a quick report before I head up the road. The weather this morning is the same as yesterday, cool upper 40's, bright sunhine. They have called stock to the lanes. Yesterday the track was in great shape, even with the cool morning air. I see no reason why it would not be the same this morning.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

fyi our weather station says 34 and the sea level at 1100 below, should get interesting to say the least
Stay tuned

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

You may be on to something, there !!

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Ken,

Thanks for all the photo's and especially the videos. I think I learned more about staging in those videos than years of racing.
Just a quick question, I thought that tree "shields" were ban, but I see
that Dan uses one. I also noted that he block the reflection from the mirror racing and pulled the tape at the finish line to monitor his competitor beforre turning onto the return road.
Ken sorry for you loss in first round, but thanks again for all your efforts.

Tom Sr.

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

thanks for the videos

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Well its 1015 am sat morning and SS & Stock is done for today, makes a long day of it, if we had a car we would go to Garlit's place to look around.
anyhow rounds are posted and we won our round and will see sunday. Interesting round as i seen Bo didn't fix his transmission and gave Peter a bye, In Stock they ran 2 rounds this morning one run i watched and said wow was AB's -1.08 run against Edmond in a heads up battle as Edmond told me he stopped at 1000 ft.
We will see the track tomorrow morning. SC and Comp has another run today thats it.
The 140mph 305 rocket ship is ready for another round

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Thanks; Ken, for all your stellar work to keep us informed and entertained. The same goes for all our other "Live From" reporters; Thanks! It makes not being there a LITTLE more bearable!

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

Had a great time as usual at The Gators.
Seems like Dans on a mission .
I WAS ROBBED!
Hee hee heee

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

That was a great race, James.

Next time try running a little closer to your dial-in, OK? :D

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 

That was one hell of a pass Jp!
Your turn next time!

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals

Here is a question i have, i have seen a bunch of bracket cars and rigs come into the pits today and took over spots where Rd 1 loser have left, we having a unleashed deal or what plus everything else going?

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
