Live timing shows they are still having timing problems. Lex Loo 666 mph, Brittany Force 3.53 ET.

Re: "Live From" Bristol - Thunder Valley Nationals
We did in fact get a re-run. Steven was red and it looked like when his red turned on our pre stage and stage bulbs went out kicking on our red. Started would not even look at me when I was talking to him, there was another guy standing next to him and he would let me start taking then point to another guy standing off to the side, he didn't care either. I went to the other guy and he immediately said "car backed out of the beams" I said no it did not, never moved. After a back and fourth about 30 seconds long... I gave up. Headed back to the water box I ran into Jimmy Hidalgo waving his finger at me saying "No, go back it never moved". So back I went to further my case, still with the "the car backed out" story, he finally said "you got video?" and I said absolutely so we went back and looked at the video and no it didn't move so he said "OK, talk to Cody". Cody looked at the video and then had a discussion with whoever was in the tower with him and said we would re-run. Now, let me be perfectly clear, we did get a re-run, but not one of these people were pleasant and the whole experience was belittling and ridiculous. 1) starting line guy was just lying to get me to leave. 2) tree had just malfunctioned probably 6 pair before us. 3) Ticket said LB3A when clearly the red came on AFTER the tree was on 2nd yellow. We won the round anyhow, our guy was .018 red and he was already gone when the tree lit red. Nothing against Steven he's a good guy and a friend.

Re: "Live From" Bristol - Thunder Valley Nationals
Shame you had to go to those lengths in the interest of fairness. Treating sportsman racers as a nuisance and looking for excuses to get us gone rather than seeking fair races for all is what makes racing with them unpleasant at times. Cody has always been straight up with me but some of the starter attitudes are ridiculous sometimes.
