Patsy got called to the lanes with her Factory Showdown car at 3:12 AM CST. Talk about your wife keeping secrets from you about racing, this one has to rank up close to the top.

I really don't think this one is NHRA's fault, for the most part.

I mean, they chose to use 'email to text' but there are a lot of delays with those systems, usually on the phone carrier's part. They get a ton of spam messages through that method that they try to filter out. And for some phone carriers, that technology doesn't work at all.

Why not just fix the PA systems?

Good question I had a set of speakers on a pole right next to where I was parked the wires went down to absolutely nothing
from what I understand they’re changing a lot of that area next year for spectators to park and Pros will be on that side, also understand Nhra is moving their headquarters there but this is not about that as far as the text system goes I didn’t get anything until Friday then it seem to work OK but then again I leave my radio on everywhere I am
the fear of God and missing a round scares the crap out of me

I wasn’t at Indy but almost missed 4th round last year at Bristol . Text message system wasn’t working, had speakers on poles not working and all weekend two NHRA officials were coming round when we were being called. Sunday morning they changed the schedule and put it on Facebook ( which I not on) no NHRA officials no text or speakers. Got up there late and luckily won the round only to get pulled over at the time slip booth and questioned whey I was not up there on time and holding up there track walk ! Told him all of the above and they need to get there... together ! Bottom line is if they don’t want to hire employees to come around on scooters like in the past they need a system we can rely on .
