Default Re: Live from Lebanon Valley-NHRA Lucas Oil Series 2012

In the past , I have'nt had too high an opinion of the track prep or the timing system at Lebanon Valley.
I must say this year the track was prepped very well ,especially considering the heat. ...And the bugs seem to finally be gone from the PortaTree timing system.
My car had identical numbers from both lanes, Something I've never had there in past years.
Also a big thank you to Bob and Dave for removing the black foam blocks at the end of the track and putting in some nice new red ones so we could find the finishline !

The first time I ran at LV, I had no idea where the finish line was.

on the brighter side of LV event this might be some history triva in the makings but Byron Worner had 3 .000 RT's during elimintions (Rd 1, 2 & 4), simply wow, i dont even think the Bracket/SS/Stock ace Michael Beard has done that one, but i might be wrong.
Anyhow great job Byron!

Jack if you drop the nose on your Firebird, the front section can and will trip the lights and your going to get a faster ET........The distance from the wheel to where the front nose might hit the beams....

Happened to me at least once in my Friebird.....

Yes , I'm aware that can happen - but more than 8mph killed - the nose is out front but not that far ........And since I've had this car since 1996 it would have happened many times before this .
