Our local speed shop is a great place to go if you need a Baid system or a car stereo. But thats about it. I miss the days to them as well.

My local Speed Shop is fantastic.
The owner is a member here.
He has helped me with several projects and is now helping me make the move to Class Racing from Brackets.
His prices are always competitive and his after sales support is second to none.

I don't really look for results from the other organizations but seriously why can't the NHRA website offer timely, almost live, NHRA national and divisional results to anybody with a membership? Why are DRC/Summit "responsible" for posting results and scolded when they don't post them 5 minutes after the runs are made?

I think this is a great point and food for thought...

NHRA would have to have someone at every track to to take care of handling the data. At some tracks, results for divisional races have to be input manually -- either by typing as it happens by reading the announcer's screen or entering the results from the run logs after each round. In addition, before the first qualifying sessions are reported, someone has to compare the tech cards to the information on the computer to make sure that the driver has not changed cars or changed classes. Then, the results have to be sent to the website.

Since DRC already had someone doing just that at every divisional race, it made more sense for NHRA to use DRC's reports than duplicate the effort. There is no magical way for the results to just appear on NHRA's website.

Very legitimate line of thought. However, I don't think that any of us are holding our breaths. After all, we are MEMBERS!

If the N.H.R.A. sponsored dragracecentral wouldn't that enhance their position within this community? Nah forget I wrote that. LMAO!
