Anyone know why they are using the old school traditional Christmas tree this weekend?

It’s not a Compulink system.

Correct. It’s an Accutime timing system, the first time NHRA has ever used one. That’s also why some of the live timing and ladder updates are not happening on the websites.

Corey Michalek also had a perfect light. There was a lot of fouls and super excellent lights, that I was wondering about rollouts, but there were also lights in the 50s, so wasn't sure if you could blame rollout. Just a lot of strange RT's. And of course, the all-Noonan race. I've never had an issue with team orders, but that was definitely wild to watch more so than others!

I love him too. But he looks exactly the same to me as when we saw him the last couple years, he hasn’t changed much - acts semi-coherent (probably better than he lets on), mostly immobile, hears and partially responds to only what he wants to, which is totally within his privilege,needs to be driven around and catered to, probably perks up when that “darn Muldowney chick” or “Garlits” is mentioned then talks your ear off for 25 minutes….

In short, about like my 85 year old Dad, but way better than Mitch McConnell.

How would you like to be Erica Enders who put a .0002 light on the board in qualifying - and got treed by Matt Latino.

 

[Ponyhntr]

Remember, Accutime does not have the LED compensation function available like Compulink. The Pros actually run on a .370 tree because of the quicker LED bulbs. This weekend it’s a true .400 tree, so all these perfect lights would be .030 on a Compulink track.

Just wondering if anyone at Martin is in need of something a little extra. Lol

Texas Air National Guard F-16 crashed in Grand Traverse County and released hydrazine,

That being the case, should we expect a whole slew of red lights before this one ends?

It's already broke. Rain isn't expected until about 7pm. Cloudy, mid 60s but crazy humidity (95%)
