"Live From" 2022 Baby Gators / Gatornationals - Page 6

Pardon my ignorance, as I have not followed the LODRS in years; however, I have questions regarding the run order for stock and super stock. I see rounds labeled "Q," "C," and "R." Based on my limited experience with drag racing from years past, I understand "Q" to stand for qualifying, and "R" to stand for round; however, these "C" runs have me confused. Does anyone care to explain this format to an old racer getting ready to dip his toes back into racing? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, we are finished for the evening, I did mange to get a few photos of some finals, its dark and my camera does not do well at night, but its better than nothing I guess...

First photo... E/SA Sterling Simmons Jr vs Jerry Bennett
Jerry Bennett for the win.

Second photo... GT combo, Don Shuford GT/MA vs Todd Frantz GT/CA
Don Shuford for the win.

Third photo... FGT combo, James Caro FGT/J vs Mark Nowicki FGT/H

C stands for Class run off

Yeah, that is just the computer program. It automatically pulls the quickest ET and fastest MPH. Not something NHRA does.

Who won the combo (A)?

Ken Miele · 03-05-2022, 10:07 AM

Good morning all, Super Street has been called to the lanes. The weather for today... Sunny and warm, going up to the mid 80's. Stock will follow Super Street, we all get one round today.

Butch, not sure what you mean by A combo... Stk, SS ?

Ken Miele · 03-05-2022, 11:00 AM

Update folks... Stock and Super Stock will get 2 rounds today.
