The future of live reporting at NHRA Division 1 events
 

We all know when DRC lost their sponsorship with Summit Equipment we were risking not having any live reporting at any Divisional Events. In today's world, we all know we have to have the information ASAP on our tablets, smartphones, Facebook and when it's not posted we become annoyed. Jim Samuels started his own site in 2014 and really needs the help of the racers to keep it going for this season and beyond. If we want to keep the live reporting and up to date info at our fingertips go over and help Jim out!

Jim has already told me if he shuts down the Northeast Drag Race.com site the live reporting on DRC for Division 1 goes away also. So you will have to wait till later on at night or even on Monday to find out who won....like the old days.

I think like everything today things are changing and we have to find better ways. I for one really enjoy all the threads on here from racers ( Patsy) and there live reporting.. These are better than any ESPN coverage, real people reporting on real race cars, simple. :D

We as racers when we can't be at the races do enjoy live reports and reading the posted sheets. I know that's why I don't mind doing it when I can. Sometimes it's tough to do when we're racing especially with two cars but we try our best. If I'm at a track I have no problem doing this but maybe more racers can step in at other divisions to post qualifying sheets that DRC doesn't do until at the end of the day and report on weather conditions. And even though DRC can't be at every race we still appreciate what they do.

How in the world did we ever survive when we had to wait for National Dragster to show up in the mail box ? :)

I remember calling the track to find out the class winners back in the eighties. Seriously though all these LIVE FROM reports are truly appreciated and always well done, especially when accompanied by pictures. Thanks !

Or when you had to call 1-800-NHRANOW....that was always fun and an interesting Phone Bill.

I enjoy what Patsy & Larry Hill, Mike Beard, Jack M. and everyone else does and I'm not knocking them at all because they do a great job but, sometimes when you suffer a tough first round loss, your not sitting around to wait to see who wins, you want to get home because some have to work on Monday or you want to get home to family so you never do get the results fully. This site helps keep those who are not at the track informed as to whats going on and up to date. As a .90 racer our thread gets posted on about once a week, if that and we don;t have any live reporters to post who did what so be glad that those racers take the time out of a busy weekend to take pics and post sheets. I'm just saying take the minute say something good about this site, be glad they take the time and effort to report this stuff to us all in a quick fashion and if you can help support it in anyway....do it! When DRC & Northeast Drag Race are gone we will go back to the stone age and have to wait 2 weeks for a National Dragster....In which I just got today 2 1/2 weeks after the Phoenix event.

I would really love to see the qualifying sheets show what was run each round rather than only if someone improves on order. How hard is it for NHRA's computer to calculate that out besides the current round by round order to the final list?

Does anybody know if JEGS, STRANGE, MOSER, SAM, HANS were approached with a sponsorship Package ??????

Re: The future of live reporting at NHRA Division 1 events
 

I have different packages available at different costs.

Here's a link to what I have put together, but anything written there can be modified to keep the site going.
