Top Dragster in St.Louis

I don't know where you got those results - the correct first-round order is posted at DRC. The runs you mentioned are at the bottom of the list, not-qualified.

Live timing is okay, but doesn't have any filter to remove disqualified runs and no mechanism to go back and correct erroneous results, so those runs will probably show up at the top of the live timing "field" all weekend.

They do, they just simply toss the runs!
Valerie - didn't mean to sound critical - when I saw your message I checked DRC and the Top Dragster result I found had those runs DQ'ed. I have since discovered that the incorrect result was posted briefly before being corrected. I was just trying to figure out where you had seen that earlier report.
I doubt those chassis are certified to run in the 5's, if somebody knows fill us in!

Pretty certain Rob's and Richard's chassis both are sub 6.0 certed. Rob also recently purchased a turnkey TAD car that they will enhance and begin running at some point next year (in TAD of course).
We had fun racing there this weekend, but there is a bit of a learning curve to being pitted inside the Nascar track .... a wind change during our round three made me feel like an idiot as the car ran 3 mph slow and driving down to pick up the car I could see all the flags on the trackside RVs showing a headwind .... weather station sitting in the bowl of the Nascar track was not seeing that and you couldn't feel it in the staging lanes .... oh the joy of fast bracket racing.
Rick, most of us cert to a 6.0 chassis, but the guys with the big blower combos tend to be running ALKY chassis instead.
