Also happened to Davidson against Koivisto. And Mr. wright...they don’t want everyone to go across the scales....only the winners.

I was wondering what happened as some the runs I looked at in round 1 seemed to have the losers in round 2. They need to have some system to let the winners know they won other than by cell phone. I would never think to carry my phone and if I did it would probably die about when I needed it.

I don't like any of this non- paper time slip crap, but geez...

You can buy a NEW Samsung A 11 for less than 200 bucks, with a year warrantee..It'll
do anything you need to do here.. Maybe 50 bucks a month for basic internet..Verizon will give veterans 10% off of that.
You guys spend a grand to go to a points meet, so don't tell me you can't afford this. ;-)
Uh, so we are supposed to carry the NEW Samsung in the car and dial the www between the end of the track BUT before the scales to see who won ???....AGAIN I say to NHRA, please stop the MADNESS and give us OUR friggin time slips....

Maybe everyone should cross scales to emphasize how stupid no paper time slips are?

I don't like it either, but seems like an I-phone is just another requirement this year. Just like 15-20 dollar gas, two year belts, etc.

Seems to me, without a red light in the other lane and early win light, when you can win or lose my thousandths, why not just stop at scales until Jr. downloads the time slip for you ?

Why not jam-up the scales and fuel check and see how long it takes NHRA to fix the problem that they are trying to create?

I always wait at the scales if I lost a round just to be sure. My dad has been reinstated over the years a couple times when the winner drove on by the scales. And I'm one of the young ones at 51...

I never carry a phone in the race car or even in my pocket on race day.
I concentrate on racing and do not want calls or texts when I am racing.
I just do not need the distraction.
Maybe just me.

I just shut my ringer off in the lanes.
Nice to have a phone if your car quits at the last turnoff...Or maybe you meet a potential customer in the lanes during a half hour cleanup..You want to save his number.
Too much of a convenience, in today's world , to go without it.
Maybe just me ;-)
