Having actually been in that seat I can tell you it is a hard job. Even though the late (and sorely missed) Larry Sullivan made the software as easy as he could, there's still a lot to process and enter every minute or so. Some of the staff is now at cyborg levels but often things arise where you're distracted.


Just please, please don't ever question the knowledge or dedication of the FastNews reporters. In the early days when I started (in the late 1980s) it might have been amateur hour depending on the website or reporter but those days have been gone a long time.
No offense intended. I bet we all know someone who has raced for many years that still doesn't understand all of the information on the timeslip!

DRC has been a great thing for sportsman drag racing and I, for one, appreciate your efforts!
