Columbus Points Meet

Oh, it happened all right....

The live timing connection was down for the weekend so there were no real-time updates to NHRA's live timing page. (That has been broken for awhile and the new owners were not aware that it needed fixing) Then, to compound the problem, the primary computer failed overnight on Sunday, forcing the track to move to a backup system on Monday. The tower staff was rebuilding the data from log sheet printouts and manually entering data as we were running eliminations. I know there was some cleanup to take care of before the results would be posted to the internet.

Hope that helps clear that up a bit. And, thanks for watching!
