    Probably because for $6 a year you can get a My Race Pass subscription and follow along with live timing and scoring. Or the free service you can see the results as they are posted.

    Racing updates on a thread is the equivalent to having a desk top computer in 2022.

    Why make a thread? They just turn into a pissing and whining match anymore. Usually the same 3 or 4 people ruin it for those you like to talk racing!

    I enjoy the updates threads too. Even if I have the stream. https://twitter.com/jacqbrush does updates on Twitter.

    Racing updates on this page are next to useless IMO. The site used to be good for stuff like that, but not anymore. Its too easy to find info anywhere else anymore. You can literally start a twitter account and follow nothing but the Lucas and outlaw pages and get up to the minute info 95% of the time. Until the last couple years, that is what I done with my twitter account.

    I used give updates if I was at the track, until it got to be a big pissing contest over who done what first. It also got to where it took away some of the enjoyment I got from being at the track too. I don't see how guys like Shiny do it and enjoy the races. That dude is a beast.

    I can remember sitting in front of the computer in the early 00s and having to refresh the page countless times so I could get in to see who won whatever heat race, or who sat fast time for the east bay races. This place is good for gossip, and that's about it.

    I'm not judging anyone Jim. Just stated it's a thing of the past, which it is.

    Shineys updates are really cool……..and I have full access to all of the other stuff you guys mention.

    Sure it’s a thing of the past…..just like my turntable and hundreds of old classic vinyl is, but I still like to hear it through my Bose 901’s every now and again.
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
