LIVE. from Richmond IHRA Div 1 Summit Pro-Am

[Lew Silverman]

The second race was cancelled and everyone had his or her entry-fee refunded. The Nitro Jam/Pro-Am at Maryland International Raceway, originally scheduled for June 19-21 as a single claiming event, will now be a double for both Division 1 and 9.

Thanks for the info Lew. Was a tough weekend to get the races completed.

Iwas just wondering in the finals of stock how did Walton on the tree leave the last yellow on and no green or red ? the cars before him left on green and after him. Was something wrong with the tree when he ran ? Racing for 46 yrs ive never seen this happen to me or any one else. thanks DON THE WORM ELGIN

Walton was .0000 on the tree, i've never seen the tree do that before.

Wow, I just saw a picture of that from the Motor Mania TV coverage. Third yellow stayed on, no green, no red. I guess a QUAD zip RT confuses the tree. Thank God that didn't happen in our lane, lmfao.

It was a long and sometimes frustrating weekend, but I just want to commend the Richmond Dragway staff. They did a great job with what they were confronted with, and were probably the friendliest bunch I've ever encountered, from the credential trailer to the concession stand to the owner.

You're not saying there would've been all kinds of conspiracy theories if that had been your lane are you? Lol

[Dan Fletcher]

Far be it for me to suggest that, lol...

I agree. It was probably an even longer weekend for the race operators as it was for the racers.

I saw the same thing, last yellow on, didn't see the red light, figured Walton went red and they announced it was perfect light. In the quarters there was a -.0007 red by one of the Ross cars. Beard got pinched by another .000 light in the semi's of SS. Some tight racing going on in IHRA land.

When I worked as announcer at our local track in 2012-2013, a driver had a quad-zero perfect reaction time (.0000) in the Friday night final, and same thing. Third amber stayed on, no red, no green. He lifted, thinking he went red, and lost. He was offered a re-run, but declined it. It might be an AccuTime thing.
