Here is what it is now, and example of a LODRS race at epping:

Merryfield in the T/SA Gremlin versus Johny Gray's beautiful 69 A/SA Camaro. There off, huge wheelstand by Gray.........dead air......Gray runs a 10.05............3.75 seconds later I get to the stripe.....

Eric,
I'm still watching! Tried to suggest qualifying in Div 3 using the indexes rather than heads up. Never went anywhere. Clearly WAY more interesting from a spectator point of view versus the current method.

The super classes are mentioned earlier, with them the first 1000' is probably not at all interesting to the spectators, the finish line is where the Super class action is but sadly there are no stands at the 1320 mark anywhere IIRC.
