Re: Hanford updates?
 

Qualifying order, lineups and finishes are posted on Robert Ballou Motorsports Facebook page as they are received at the track (qualifying order is posted now which is underway currently at the track)

The way it has been relayed to me (which may be false) was that the video seems to be working but there is a problem with the audio. My reply is I'll take video without audio over nothing any day of the week.

Feel free to check out the other info posted here:

Per USAC - Bernal has fast time so far about a tenth of the track record set by Damion Gardner in 2005

I'll try updating both places....if anyone would like....

NEW TRACK RECORD: Bud Kaeding sets a new track record at 14.793 seconds

*per Robert: Kaeding looked better than everyone in qualifying and he will be the man to beat tonight he has ran here 6 times already this year and for most of us this is our first time all year if at all

Kaeding quickest over Bernal - Bloom - Gardner - Stanbrough - Faria - Windom - Hines - Jones - Clauson - Faas - Larson - Rutherford - R Vanderweerd - Murphy - Ballou - Sheridan - Spencer - Ensign - Schuerenberg - R Williams - Roa - East - Hawkins - Kruseman - Bragg - Hood - C Williams - Ballard - Smith - Argo - Welton

RED FLAG - still no complete laps Faas and Rutherford bring out the red

Re: Hanford updates?
 

i'll stick with it. easy to get spoiled after that Perris show.

Re: Hanford updates?
 

I'm glad someone has something, all I have is off air.

Re: Hanford updates?
 

Me too, Chris. Luckily, Sacha and Robert have opened up a line of communication from the track, again tonight. Like they've done a bunch of times, this year.:8:

Looks like we're back live, again.

Re: Hanford updates?
 

Sorry I wasn't on the ball tonight guys. Just got home from a family thing. Glad Sacha is on it.

Re: Hanford updates?
 

If someone wants to jump in - I don't have any problems with. LOL - I'm juggling three screens and my phone.

On another note - anyone know why there was two trucks hooked up to Windoms car? Looked like they were going to use it as the rope in a tug of war for a minute

After qualifying Hunter and Stanbrough were tied for 3rd in USAC points. After the heats Hunter was back in front by 2. With first and second locked up the battle is on for 3rd. Whoever finishes ahead of the other takes the spot.

Re: Hanford updates?
 

It isn't working worth a hoot here. I've got not audio and the picture is freezing up about 4 or 5 times a lap.

The feeds from Perris last weekend and the mods from Vegas last night will spoil you in a hurry.

Wish it would work better.

Re: Hanford updates?
 

Levi Jones has locked up his 5th USAC National Championship. Nobody's ever done that before. Parnelli Jones, Larry Dickson, Sheldon Kinser and Robbie Stanley won three. Steve Butler won four.
