yeah i hear hes not that great hes changing up alot of things that imo he has no business changing i havent met him yet but im not real fond of him

[AZSonicSnake]

might i ask whats changing?

[TruBluScreamer]

well from what i understand hes totally changing the EMS position on the track to half track when most fires on the track start at the starting line and from the half track position its hard to get on the track in a hurry if someone eats it!! thats all i really know right now but so far i dont like the fact that he comes in and just cleans house but i will keep you guys posted if things change that effect the racers!!

We are getting a brand new timing system since ours is from the 50's. It will also tell lots of good info on the time slip like elevation, temp, and other good facts.

Bernie said no track has this "new" timing system yet, only us.

We had a staff meeting last week and I remember Bernie from when I raced at LACR. He has alot of ideas for the track, and plans to make it a better place to race.

Tell him more water in the water box may be a little helpful...I know a couple of us were concerned about how little water was being used this weekend, wasn't the easiest on the cars...when you have a car doing a one wheel burnout because one wheel didn't get any water, it might be an indication that some more water may be needed ;) Lol

Shane told me about this yesterday. I had planned on calling Big T to see if I could possibly get the names of the guys working that night as that is complete BS.

Sounds like the water box guy was being lazy. When I'm starter that doesn't fly.

You guys paid to race and are entitled to the best we can give, and having water in the box is a simple thing to do.

I am brining that up though, I give you my word.

Thanks, never had an issue with it before but it was really annoying. I can't help but think that the reason my clutch stuck to my flywheel was because it was slipping due to the lack of water. ET drags and a rear end that doesn't give trying to do a burnout with little water equals a lot of stress and heat put into that clutch. Thankfully with the help of a nice guy I got the clutch working again...

Track held great and we were all pleased with that, but the rate at which people were moving just wasn't as good as I've come to expect from SW as I've been happy with the track in the past.

It's always nice knowing we have you hear to help relay our thoughts on improving the track, hopefully next time will be better because the weather is getting nice.

Did you guys ask for water?

[AZSonicSnake]

yeah, i had decent water for my 1st three passes, but it was because i was up right after the jr dragsters, and the kids and or parents had been putting down water. i do believe jay asked for it, and was told by the starter (never caught his name) that there was not enough time, they needed to keep things moving. but with the maybe 10 test and tune cars, i do not see how that was an issue. there was one long clean up after a GN vented his block mid track, but otherwise things moved quickly. the race director was victoria. i thought things went decently, other than the water part. its hard for me to complain too much with the times they were letting me run though.

oh, btw- there was only the starter and the one person pulling cars from the lanes. no additional person around the lanes to even be putting water down...

[IMSHAKN]

Yeah, the only time I really saw any water put down was for the Jr. dragsters as Tony said. If I remember correctly we had mentioned the water, but with how few people there were around I think they were all feeling a bit rushed as there didn't seem to be much help.
