Toby,

I was listening live to the audiocast and I am pretty sure that I heard Alan Reinhart say that Scott Burton crossed the centerline and would not be the beneficiary of the redlight by his opponent since that is worse than a redlight under the "first or worst" rule.

Drag Race Central shows him on the second round sheet.What really happened in that pair?

Thanks and GOOD LUCK!

I didn't get up there in time to catch Don's first round race, but I barely got up there in time to catch Gregggg "Showtime" Luneack's first round wheel stand.

Well, Scott wasn't in his pit, but I just talked to Tom Turner about it and he says the car in front of Scott was smoking pretty good going down the track and they never checked the track. Apparently it broke a tail shaft housing and laid down fluid pretty much the whole track. Tom said Scott did a great job of driving to keep from wadding the car up.

The original ruling was what Alan said, but I guess since it wasn't Scott's fault there was fluid on the track they reinstated him.

Just another national event. Nothing new. Same cars. Hardly anybody runs as fast as they can. Traction is almost always good for me. Although Don didn't get a hold of the track this time. I will post his third qualifier when I get a chance.

Toby, Thanks for the update.. Dont know what race is next, just got my good motor back in. Had to work today but checking in on here when i can.... Thought you retired? hope not..lol..It looks like there is some new cars and some in new classes. ! A bunch stepped it up this morning, thats cool.. O/k thats it, thanks again for the update..

[Toby Lang]

OK, Kelly, when you go to your next race I assume you'll keep us all updated on what's going on, right? No excuses.

I did retire, but one person took care of me last year so I figured the least I could do was post a few videos of him.

And of course everybody loves wheel stands, so I had to post that one. I don't catch that many of them so it probably is a one a one time deal.

Looking forward to your reports this year!!!

Alright Toby, no problem.... My next race i will give my perspective of what goes on at a track in div 6, but making a picture go from my camera to this site may be a challenge...lol.. But your on and thanks again...

A Huge thanks to Toby for the Videos .

If only others would be involved like you were in sharing the Videos last year , I only which i could sponsor you full time so you could do this at all the tracks so others could enjoy and you still race ? Hey anyone out there that would like to sponsor Toby for racing and Video let him know . The track was killer as the new starter made sure no spinning .
