Am I The Only One?

Certainly it's gone way down. I was watching Bangshift live video of the Cal. HotRod Reunion but the results posted on DRC seem to have been from someone who never saw it. "No show" to a guy who broke on the burnout and left the car sitting about 300 feet and another called a "no show" to the TF finalist who left before the tree.

I didn't hear anything about the Indy Open till well after the fact
I only heard about Ray Paquets amazing eliminations performance today in the results. An 8.69...wow. Still have no idea how many set records.

I heard the rights to the Street Car Supernationals was sold to a Pay Per View company again and Bangshift won't be covering that this year. So even when somebody is willing to provide it doesn't always get to happen.

Since we are working solely from timing data, I can't tell the difference between a "no-show" and a "broke, never staged the car".

Henceforth, I will restrain myself and merely note that no time was recorded for that driver.

If the notes start out by saying that the actual lanes are not known, the reporter is working from timing data only and did not witness the event.

Larry, thanks for all the data DRC provides! It's been around pretty much the whole time I've been seriously following drag racing, and I can't imagine trying to follow it without DRC. As much as I love having everything live, those end of the day reports are a very close second. I also really like how they always show elimination results and not just winners.

Hey I don't know why Nitro should get slamed . He gets his information via e mail and puts it in his books as soon as he can .When he compiles it he sends it off to the printer and they send it out. I do not see any one else out there giving you that kind of information .

The work he does is time consuming and not an easy one. If you want to complain and whine find another source. Get NHRA to post more info , bitch to them and see what it gets you.

Just my too cents worth
