"Live From" Bristol - Thunder Valley Nationals

Hey guys I'm back, we are moving quick, Super Stock is in the lanes for their 2nd qualifier. First round for Stock should be up in the next hour or so. I did manage to get some phots of Super Stock. Here is one set, I will have more later. If I go out early I will get photos for Stock.

A problem with schedules like this is if you break something you are out of luck! there really is no time between runs or eliminations to get anything done. it’s so sad, even if you did break something you’re not going to go into the manufacturer’s midway and get the parts you need. Boy, how things have changed!!!

And that is what my other post is really about. Thanks.

What’s up with the round 1 stock re-runs? LB3A?

[Frank Castros]

Left Before 3 Ambers. It was a tree malfunction and they re-ran those pairs effected.

Happened to my brother in St. Louis E1 stock and they didn’t give him a re-run!
Glad they are making it right!

Did they rerun Autumn Greene and Steven Dziorny as well? I heard they were re-running the other 2, but never heard whether they were rerunning that pair or not. It looked to me like Autumn had the same issue happen as the others, but hers happened at 2nd amber instead of 1st amber.

I had this exact issue happen to me in Bristol in 2006 at the Jr Dragster ECF and they told me I was out of luck. It was even left lane...which appears to be the lane with issues today.

I do see where they reran Autumn and Steven. Good job to NHRA for making this right. Looks like 2 of the 3 pairs ended up with the same winner...but at least both parties got a fair chance the 2nd time around.
