went to the finals in eatonton's 5.30 today and lifted 4.02 sec in the run and broke out with a 5.26 .. react was a .04 1.21 60 and ran 120 mph . so it makes me wonder how i did not get the win light.. but again we were racing @ the putt putt bush track too .. G's Racing

you know Im surrprised you are the first to say enything but their timeing system has been out of wack for years I dont have afast car or truck but I have been down the track and to the races enough to know when the junk is right or not when you have 5.30 cars runing side by side and one runs a brake out of 5.25 and the others are well into the five thirtys say 5.34your not going to be side by side neck and neck . and ive seen it down their alot and not just on the end of the track its at the stating line to you watch the cars leave on a regular tree not pro and some of the cars are at the sixty foot line on the third yellow light and still get a green light you tell me thats right !

who won today .

john hobbs got the win light .. we have looked at it from several different angles .. and talked to several other guys even talked to a track official from carolina .. he said it is impossiable .. guess i just got violated by the putt putt bush track .. and i would like to thank my good friend / crew chief jason mote for putting the ole pulpwood truck in yet another final ..

well its like this i talked to the man that won the bracket race and i asked what happend was there anything wrong with the tree he said no he went 639.6  in the left lane 639.8 right what can i say most of yall are dailed in for 5.0 class and he had a 420something light he cant run but in the high 520s hes driven the other in i talked with the others guys of the track on what happend like they said also they dont give a rats ass who wins and cant fix no lights and headhunters is the only track that lets u run for free pay to get in the gate and thats all u have to do. and as for ass u cg i bet u won more free 530 money at headhunters then you won anywhere else you go run 5.0 class for 3500 total ride 600 miles stay two or three days spend 1000 dollars split it 12 ways were you at you come race with us you win 1000 or 600 dollars and you been there a lot of times gas money to go to the big show. cg dont cut the hand off that feeds  u and the only reason iam saying something is my money and time is tide up in it other wise i wood not give a dam so but thursdaynight i will check everythang out and u can come see if your wright i come back and tell it. quick vandiver  head hunters dragway

not cutting anyone .. but i have been driving the finish line for many many years.. and the truck was set up for a .29 pass all the way out .. when you lift @ 3.92 and the nitrous cuts off .. and @4.02 secs you lift completely .. i don't see how you can break out with a 5.26@ 120 mph when in qualifing i broke out with a 5.28 @ 133 mph .. and quickyou know i've supported that track before you even came around .. i was 16 years old down there running tim wilson on the old track they were the first 2 trucks down that track ..

plus i saw his win light come on before i went through the traps ..i thought i had red lit because of the way i saw his light come on so quick .. here i'm kicking my self on the way back for red lighting ..and they said nope you broke out ..i said there is no freakin way .. but i'm no computer wiz either .. but when jason pulled it up on the computer the story was told ..and i have talked to some of the guys at the track .. they thought something was wrong and said they would make it right .. no hard feelings with the track ..i'll be back there but i will have some one in the tower from now on .. 2 many people have spoke on this before ..i like the old putt putt bush , i have invited many 5.30 & 5.0 drivers to come and visit .. great place and a short ride 4 me .

i don't know what is really going on with all of this confusion.. i have raced at more tracks then most of the racers in this whole forum if not equal to and i all of my times have very near if not dead on with the timing systems of eatonton.. the only tracks that have been different were bristol tennessee and rockingham, nc and we all know why that is.. everyone flies in rockingham and everyone slows down at bristol... i am not defending this track because of family only stating the facts... plus everyone knows weather, vehicle reaction, tire spin, and track surface all plays a big factor in comparison of track tickets and computer downloading.... this warning is stated in the instructions of any onboard computer systems.
