If people see my name tagged on to posts from the track using Kyle's name it's because I haven't taken the time to sign into IOW under mine.
I am my own worse critic.... and there were things that I was not happy with concerning our coverage tonight. Trying to score heats is a tedious task..... scorers should get the respect they deserve. It's TOUGH. We did well for the first heat.... after that it was a mess. Devin and Kyle were doing their best.... but we did come up short. Plus one beef I have with the PA announcing is they only cover the people who transferred out of the last chance/heats/semi. A complete rundown for the races run I think would be a good thing. If they did do that then I apologize now.... pitside all I could hear was transfer people. Give us time it will get better. The folks at USAC were watching us update with some interest.... might have to do with them lie updating from the track too, I dunno.
I would like to thank some folks. Lisa (Midgy) was a Godsend tonight... helping me with times/lineups and heat race finishes. Second, Kenny Biro and their team for allowing us to plus in our dying laptop for some much needed recharging. It still wasn't enough to give a total race update.... but maybe we can figure out how to make the battery live longer. Thanks to the Biro's for the space to charge the battery!
If anyone else has good constructive criticizm of coverage for the night please post here or in a new thread for Saturday's racing. I am looking to do things better. Qualifying may be a chore.... we will work on that too.
