NHRA texting system
 

It is a pretty handy system to call us to the lanes when it is working well, but mine from Indy never worked correctly. I am still getting texts to be called to the lanes. Super Stock was called to lanes at 11:00 am CST today. Anybody else getting these texts?

Yup. I am still getting them like you. The system didn’t work at all at Indy. I am hearing impaired so it’s real nice for me when it works. NHRA seems to have problems with most things data related

I signed up and never got a single text.
Maybe it will work for.Maple grove

It's the gift that keeps on giving. I get notices to head to the staging lanes for Super Street, Super Stock, Stock (for what I signed up for) and some other classes. These come anywhere for noon to 12 am to 2 am. I emailed div. 3 about it, but have not heard back. I never received a message to head to lanes during the race, just received "Testing, Testing, Testing" Hopefully they will get things figured out.

Same here. Never worked right for me at Indy. All I got were the Testing, Testing, Testing ones then some did come in way late. Like the next day late if at all. Some were for classes I didn't sign up for.

Although it wasn't bad. I was parked right next to a speaker and close to the lanes anyway. I will give props to the parking staff and other staff at the track. I don't know who hired them, but they found some good ones in my opinion. They were very nice, efficient, and even told us several times how much the appreciated us.

I thought it was a trick the first couple of times I heard it.

I just got the call to the lanes for the semis!
Never worked timely for us. Not once.

And you didn't need it! :D Great job at Indy!

Remember when the little men rode around on their scooters herding the correct class to the lanes on time. And when Redman and associates somehow put all the class cars IN ORDER for class eliminations. A then B then C .. How in the world did they ever do all that stuff. Seems impossible in this new techy age.

Same here. They also shut off the PA on the East side of the track in the mornings near the pros, so we had to guess when we were called by the cars driving by.

I didn't get any texts until Friday, but it seemed to work fairly well beginning around noon and then for the rest of the weekend. Never could really rely on it though.

I also had great radio reception on Wednesday, but it was never the same after that.
