Scoring for BHR-Virginia


I have a new part-time job. I have been scoring some of the truck races this summer.

Shortly after the season started Amanda called me asking if I would be interested in scoring some of the truck races for BHR this summer.....since they would pay my travel expenses and pay me for the actual scoring of the race I said YES! This way I could see Amanda and still make some money. Ha! It's only 9 races total but it's been fun. I have to admit it is a little intimidating. They are very strict (nascar). I don't know....for some reason they want this scoring thing to be....shall I say.....correct. So that means no talking, cell phones must be off, and you can't go to the bathroom unless you FLAG someone down that can take over for you. Well I just as soon HOLD IT until it's all over. I am responsible for counting every lap for the #18 Tahoe Dodge (Dennis Setzer) and I have to record his time as he goes across the start/finish line.

Sounds easy....right? Well trust me it can get confusing....especially when he pits and you can't find the driver because you think he is still on the track. Oh well.
