Thanks Edgar, I just checked it out.....I saw Farley on it, Sheila and Ellis make a pass so far. I called Ellis when I saw him broke out. He had not even picked up his timeslip when I spoke to him.

Also has a nice feature that alerts you when a driver stages, if you input the drivers name.

Cool

I have not tried the alert but i see it.

If you sign up for the year you can view history.
Anybody can see all for the day on race day but tomorrow, you need to be a member to see what happened today.

It is nice if you cannot make a race you can watch us running....better than twitter LOL

Farley just won E2, his opponent went red. Looks like he ran it out and went under his dial though.

That's awesome! They didn't have my number right in round 1 or 2 for street stock, but hey - it wasn't a very good day.

During time shots I heard that there were people watching to see who is doing what and so on. So, during time shots I had a .073 and then another .073. First round I was .017, the other driver went red by .009. I ran it out and went under by .02. Next round was suppose to be a bye run due to the R/T. I had a Ford Lightning that was dialed 11.00. He went red and smoked the tires off the line. I was .012 on the tree and I ran it out. I went under by .04. Next round I had the bye. I was .027 on the tree and ran .01 under. The final round I went soft on the tree. I was .037 to his .251. He passed me at the 1,000 foot and then got out of it. He went 11.20 @ 120mph on a 11.50 dial. I waved to him when he passed me. I knew I what I was going to run, I knew I hit the tree, so it was safe to say at this point I knew I won when he was 1 1/2 car lengths in front of me. The MOV was .09. I was dial 11.45 and went 11.48 @ 108mph lifting and stabbing the brakes. I shaved off 10mph. I knew I hit the tree because I should have left 2nd.

All in all, It was a good day. Not many Imports to hurt the ears. The Imports were gone by round 2. We had 14 cars in the Street Modified.

Thanks.

I heard the announcements all day about this timing system on line. But since I was at the track, I did not have to log in.

Good job Rob..

Wacky day, DA went up, and I go faster..

Shaved 4 MPH off while lifting at the traps & still broke out by .007

And I thought I would have .02-.03 to play with..
