Can't give you Like here, Mr 1.
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. ;-)

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 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 thought the same thing! They all got tangled up at the scales!

As we were being torn down, after losing 1st round, we asked the official what happened.
He said they drove past the scales.
We were told that every racer, win or lose, should go to the scales.

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.
