Almost Live from Dinwidde , VA-Lucas Oil Series

[jwsamuel]

To clarify,

I am covering racing in the Northeast Division for the website I started. I had the idea a couple of years ago to start a site that would cover sportsman racing outside of the Lucas Oil points races that I covered for DRC. That would include the NHRA Open series, East Coast Stock and Super Stock, MASCA and MASGA and others. I always had it on the back burner because I was busy.

When I learned that we would not be covering the points races for DRC this year, I decided the time was right to launch the site. So about three weeks ago, I made the decision to go for it. That's why the site is still rough around the edges.

I am also making my reports available on DRC and that is what you are seeing today on that site. I am doing that because of my 13 years with DRC, my continuing work with DRC for NHRA national events and my hope that we can get sponsorship to resume covering sportsman racing as we have in the past. I also have a great relationship with the NHRA Northeast Division staff and that is making this easy to start.

I am covering the points races to help fill a void.My first allegiance for covering the LODRS points races is with DRC. NortheastDragRace.com was intended to cover racing the DRC did not cover. It was always intended as an addition to DRC, never to replace it. If we are able to resume full coverage of the points races on DRC, I will just link to it on my site, and do more coverage of other sportsman racing on NEDR.

This was done purely as my own initiative and should not be seen as representative as what could happen in any other division.

I hope that clarifies things. You can contact me at jim.samuel@gmail.com if you need anything else.
