Not sure why anyone feels the need to take shots at Fast News Network, Drag Race Central or Summit.

Sheets get posted when the reporters get them - period. If a reporter is not onsite, the track or NHRA Media reps are responsible for getting them to whoever will be posting that race.

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.
