BNR -

This is all your fault !!!! We are now going to have to follow Jeremy all summer long and his "off season" passion .....

If only he had posted decent videos from the beginning none of this would have ever occured !!!!!

An Eye Opener for Me
 

I should learn a lot from this off-season chronicle...never really followed anyone in drag before.

Hey, it's off-season, I need some entertainment.

Went over to Boo Williams today--MEAC on one side, NBDL on the other side. Good to see some guys I know trying to get into the DL. bbtaylor60 and eroe, who used to frequent this board, were observers for the DL camp.

JB Caldwell, who used work in the SEC, gave up supervising his small school conferences in Florida and is now working for the NBA officiating department.

You Could Have Knocked Me Over With A Stick ...
 

I have, and was I surprised, and embarrassed. Wait? I'm being told ...? What? Racing? Never mind.

Or, Maybe You Want To Hear Some Of My Backyard Chicken Stories ???
 

If any of you guys want to see some of my sunspot photos, just let me know.

We have our limits, even in the off season.

Billy,

I'm sure most of us dont want to hear about your little corner of Conn., your CYO
5th grade games nor your belt dilemmas..... Do.you really think we want to hear about your off season as well ????;);););)

Sugar, Sugar (The Archies, 1969) ...
 

How can you resist not asking me to post some photos of Betty, and Veronica, by backyard chickens? I'm sure that those photos would be just as exciting as drag racing videos.

(jeremy341a: Keep posting your cool videos. I hope that moderators continue give you a break throughout the offseason.)

Yeah that is typical. What we do is called bracket racing. You pick your time you think you can run and are giving a head start accordingly. Example if I pick 7 sec and you pick 8 sec I would give you a 1 sec head start. However to keep people from getting an unfair head start if you go quicker than your predicted time then you automatically lose. Therefore you will not only look at your opponent but lift off the gas in order to slowdown but still beat them by a small margin in order to reduce your chances of "breaking out" or going to quick and losing.

As far as shifting my cars have electric shifters that shift at pre set rpms

Are there any applicable parallels you can draw between drag racing and officiating?

I would say ability to focus on the job at hand. Don't let any outside distractions draw your attention away from what you need to do.
