No Problem announcer

Yes, fabulous job Mr. Chris. My wife enjoyed the commentary and is trying to find a Dr to address the starting line narcolepsy you astutely diagnosed. …

Chris you were a breath of fresh air. I’m a little bias b/c you like stick cars. Keep up the good work. And if you have any influence with Nelson, please tell him to change the ink cartilage in the ET slip printers.

I just did screenshots on my phone from live timing all weekend. That way I could read them.

I can't speak to the starting line issues because I don't have a high HP car. But the NPR staff put on a great event. The place had tons of spectators sat and sun. Concession stands were packed! Even had fireworks!

Everything the track has done and put on for the weekend was outstanding!

I was behind an F/SA in first round in left lane and watched it just boil the tires! No way was I going to hook. Was told it was around a half dozen or so consecutively in the left lane of E1 that spun. Then it was addressed.
For E1 when prep should be at its best for that to happen is unaccpetable!

Does D4 always have stock first? In D5 we have SST first which I think definitely helps. Get heat in the track and I would think big tire throttle stop would be less susceptible to tire spin. Surprised that’s not uniform with scheduling across all 7 divisions.

Unfortunately this is correct. We pleaded with the former division director to put SST first. Maybe our new director will listen.

All other divs and national events run SST first and that was communicated last year to Mady when she took over. In the interest of fair reporting, the Dallas double and Tulsa divs last year had SST first, followed by stock. I think the main benefit would be during round 1, you have SST in the lanes for their round 1 while pairing stock eliminator in the back of the lanes. This should cut down on wasted time.

Additionally, I believe the Belle Rose divisional makes logistic sense for stock to be first down the track. The class had an extra round on all other classes and also had class eliminations on Saturday to contend with as well.

I believe Stock being first in D4 at Belle Rose will be the exception and not the rule.
