I just wanted to let everybody know that the AMA Race Director Kevin Crowther was true to his word and gave me a call here in Oz to have a chat about the Livewire.
He explained to me that they are in the process of upgrading the system and are aware that occasionally there are problems. Last weeks problem in the 450 main was due to some fans cutting the cable that was running through the stands, some fans huh!
I also brought up that I thought with the races being run in the stadiums that all the IT gear would be the newest technology and I couldn’t understand why there was still problems, when Kevin mentioned for example last week that the IT equipment at Qualcomm is in fact a bit antiquated and as not up to date as you would think.
So just hang in there and as the upgrade continues hopefully we won’t have another San Diego 450 main.
I just wanted to thank Kevin for taking the time to follow up on the issue.
And remember everybody reads these boards, believe it or not, so rather than just bitching, be constructive, it is more productive.

I've gotten flack in the past when I've said everyone reads the boards but this is yet another example.

I am guessing he may have an acheing ear after this week, but at least they are trying to do something about it.
All I recieved was the hot lap on the 450`s. Bet that made them scramble.
1st is the scorers/timekeepers for obvious reasons.
2nd is the TV people for the broadcast.
3rd is the Internet audience, which as Rock said is linked to the AMA truck outside by cable, but at San Diego some tossers cut it.
Let's hope we see an improvement soon.
