Thanks Warren, hopefully NHRA has you on a good consultation retainer. They invariably need help.

Weird. Can get race on iPad, but plays for 15 seconds on tv, then freezes on screen.

Yesterday afternoon for Q2 it looked like rain was coming and the track needed some attention. So they gold dusted the bald spots, sprayed, gave it the old shoe scuff test, sprayed again, blew it dry. All in all time spent was about four minutes. First three cars out in my lane; AA/SA 2.35 sec in 60’, FS/D 1.29 sec 60’ (traction control?) , my carA/SA 2.05 sec in 60’. Us racers got cheated. After my 2.05 60’ they drugged the track.

Fast forward to round 1 , the AA/SA car broke in the water I think, don’t know about the FS/D, my car had no changes and ran a 1.309 60’.

Us racers did not short change the track on the entry fee in fact we had to pay extra $9.30 in transaction fee, so please give us fair value for money spent.

Tremendously enjoyable 1st round of STOCK eliminator this morning. Great variety of cars, some large handicap races and excellent announcing. As Alan Reinhart stated "stock eliminator if you don't like it you need to see a therapist or have shock treatment."
