Hey look who it is, the good time gang......whats up Joe, Long time no talk
We're only posting after the final round, guys. Be patient...
No reason to be patient, yellowbullet had up to the second updates. I sure hope the results weren't being withheld to help increase the NMRAtv traffic. I'm guessing most people are going to watch it anyway, but it's nice to know who won asap.

I'm totally not bitching, Ive all ready knew what happened about 20 minutes ago, i just kinda think its weird that EFC is a NMRA event and or they have updates on their website, but they are the last to have info about the event.

I've just about had it with you, Chris. All you ever do is complain. Let me make a few things clear for you:
WFC is not an NMRA event. We are proud to be invited here to cover it, and it's great that so many NMRA racers attend, but it's a totally independent deal. Do the math: They've been around a couple more years than we have, since this is WFC 10.
Second, the reason we flew out here was not to provide you with instant results. We came here to shoot photos for the magazine, do some features, and participate in one of the biggest and best annual Ford events in the nation. We have no obligation to even put the results up, since it's not our race, but we figured that since we're here, and so many of our guys are racing, it would be good to provide them on the forums.
Finally, we're not purposely delaying the results for any reason. As I type this, I'm waiting for my hard copy of the run sheets, so I can take pictures, clean them up, and upload them for you. I could be back at the hotel, taking a shower, and getting dinner instead.
Oh, and if you're wondering why the NMRAdigital.com URL is on all the results sheets, it's because we know that just like last year, a lot of other websites will hot-link directly to our images as soon as we upload them for their own "coverage". No problem - the bandwidth won't kill us, but I'd like to at least get credit for bothering to post them in the first place.

Paul, first off what complaining do i do ?
My last comment and all comments about WFC were not meant as a bit(h or complaint at all, just simply asking a question, IF my comments came across as a bit(h or complaint, I'm sorry.
And about your second thing, i thought it was an NMRA event or you were some how affiliated with the event.
after reading what you have to say, thanks you and your staff for posting the info you did

Sorry. I should have been more clear that I meant you are usually the one who's hammering us for not having results posted already.

IF you didn't reread my above post, i added a comment at the bottom.
I'm sure you are just a little stressed out over a long weekend,
also how you say i always make complaints about coverage, are you sure you talking about me ?
other then WFC the only other event i would make a post about is the NMRA event at bradenton in Florida, and that's cause i have good friends at that event. so since I'm always at the event for the past i cant remember how many years, i don't see how i could complain about coverage
All in all, no big deal i had to say what i had to say and so did you.
like i said I'm sure you are little stressed out over a long weekend
and i thought WFC was together with NMRA some how, but know i know they are not.
So thanks to you and your staff
