Remember when the NHRA website never had specific run information? Larry Sullivan worked for years getting Bob Brockmeyer to allow a direct link to the timing computer and the raw data.
When Brockemeyer finally agreed and the price was paid, Sullivan did the programming to process it into a readable format. The money paid to Compulink was paid by Fastnews. Summit does not own or run Fastnews. They simply fund it and allow it to do the job it does.
And then the NHRA asked for that info - from Fastnews. That's why it became available on NHRA.COM
I have never heard a single staffer on DRC ever say a bad word about Jegs nor seen anyone delay things in any way.
DRC exists because Summit makes it possible. And Jegs has some great people handling their publicity so the respect goes to them also by every person on the DRC staff.
Jegs could have funded DRC but they chose not to.
Again, I don't understand why people would make up things, and others would complain about something they've never spent a dime on - to the point of not doing business with the company that sponsors it.
Perhaps you have a problem with Summit itself, but to tie your purchase habits to a thread about DRC and the race is a leap in logic that is mindboggling.
Maybe they were joke posts and went over my head.

You are absolutely correct Dan . Hats off to JEGs for sponsoring this race ! Hats off to SUMMIT for their involvement with DRC !! While a race is in progress I find myself checking the results on DRC constantly...I believe I am guilty of taking DRC for granted,....a BIG THANK YOU for the friendly reminder....
