Thanks Larry for cluing us in to how you go about reporting the data. I knew about the various data feeds and wondered if you utilized them to get the data as opposed to manually recording runs.

Sounds like it is necessary to have someone at each race and helps me understand the costs involved.

That's where most, if not all of us, at DRC got started in this.

Dave Rowe and myself were both Prodigy reporters before DRC came to be. The Prodigy guys were not as well organized as the CompuServe RIS guys were. It was a bit of a rivalry 20 years ago!

DRC has been a stable group. Last year was my 13th season and I am the new guy!

Thanks to Summit for all their support. Amazing that in this day and age NHRA national /divisional cannot develop something like AMA asphalt motorcycles use which is a mobile APP that updates constantly with running order and lap times. Also,it is unofficial until validated. Used Smartphone at race this past summer was able to actually follow the race when bikes were not near our location. 1 class had 34 bikes on track at a time and updates were great.
