"Live From" VMP D1 LODRS 2023

Thanks everyone, it was a good way to end the season. I know I was a little light on reports towards the end... sorry for that. All in all it was a good time, a win always makes you forget any issues that come up.

I have thank the Larry Wiggins and Duke for pit control, parking looked to be going very well. D1 was down on staff, but for the most part they got it all done. Some of the issues like no real announcer was very disappointing and there was no live timing. I think for the entry fee of a D1 race, those things we be a priority... we races depended on it. Like I said they were down on staff, and it showed as there was only one guy at the head of the lanes to pair us and Bill was at the front of the lanes. When I was racing there was no one to direct us to start the burnout, the starter at times would give us the signal, but he was busy making sure the starting line was prepped. I think all the personal did a great job with what they had to work with, but being under staffed real puts a strain on all of them.

Guys you know me, I very rarely complain about the races I attend, but its hard not to point these things out, I'm hoping they will improve next season.

Again folks thanks for all your support for Class Racer... its be a good year and I'm already looking forward to next season. Not much excitement on my rolling home, but here it is...
