Orlando Update
 

They have now adjusted the schedule to two time shots and go at Orlando. First round Friday afternoon with another round in the higher attended classes (STK/SS) to follow, time permitting. I think was the best decision with the forecast, hope to see everyone there!

Re: Orlando Update
 

I like your enthusiasm for this stuff! We need more guys like you getting in these classes

Re: Orlando Update
 

Thanks man! We'll see if my enthusiasm persists after my first Stock Eliminator race this weekend!

Re: Orlando Update
 

No live timing this am, are they running?

Re: Orlando Update
 

Jimmy, There's a Youtube video running. Of course it didn't start until after S/St, Stock

Re: Orlando Update
 

No live timing, but they are showing it on NHRA.TV

Re: Orlando Update
 

When I got on the NHRA.TV side of things (not through YouTube) this morning, the camera was running before they even started running cars down the track.

In some cases, I think it is advantageous to sign up for the free parts of NHRA.TV even when they dual broadcast on YouTube. This morning would be one of those instances.

FYI, to anyone not following along on the streams...they just called STOCK Q2 to the lanes!

Re: Orlando Update
 

I just attempted to watch 2nd round of stock, the problems i ran into may be just on my end but the screen was so fuzzy i couldn't see the scoreboard and barely could make out the brand of the cars. The announcer for 2nd round of stock wasn't very informative to say the least and only gave the times for about half of the cars. The reason i like live timing is the raw data that is available.

Re: Orlando Update
 

Mine does that sometimes too when my internet isn't performing up to snuff. I didn't have that issue this time with q2, but I've experienced it plenty.

I agree with what you're saying on the other front as well...he definitely misses some pairs and doesn't always give all of the pertinent information that makes viewing from home a little easier. He's probably used to announcing to an audience in person more than an audience watching on a screen.

Re: Orlando Update
 

The live timing connection out of the Compiling is broken. Sorry about that.

Regarding YouTube, that was a little administrative mix-up on my end. I do have it recorded and can repost after the fact.

Going to be a long day. Thanks for hanging in there with us!

Warren,
Are the scoreboards in nighttime mode? Seem rather dim...

Snowing here...

Re: Orlando Update
 

Watching second round of SS seeing cars spin in the left lane. Starting line crew walking around kicking rocks?? Cotton and Helms almost got into the wall.

Re: Orlando Update
 

How is the race going down there ?

Re: Orlando Update
 

Congrats to Jim Harrison (Snoopy is apparently not just a WW I fighter ace but also a tree killer) over Doug Engels in SS and Troy Huntzberry over Darrel Goheen in Stock. Was amazed that everyone (and the track to some extent) hung in to complete the race in one day. Like many others I bailed after looking at the forecast but just goes to show you’re not going to win many rounds watching the race on YouTube.

Race has complete coverage on DRC

Re: Orlando Update
 

How did everyone enjoy watching them JR dragsters?
There was so much time in the schedule for them

Re: Orlando Update
 

It was a great effort by racers and staff to get it in one day. I was also shocked to see the track stay tight throughout the night. Huge props to Cody Savage of D2 for making the call and getting this race in knowing rain was eminent. Honestly can't think of one person who could be miffed about finishing it on Friday. Race was run swiftly and in an organized fashion. Congratulations to all winners, especially Donald Webb in SST as he and his son Chris rebuilt his carburetor between the semis and finals. Heck of an effort.
