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!

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.

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.

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...

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.
