He got all that information from the USAC live updates. Seems openwheel.org gets all his live updates from other websites and claims it as his own. Thanks for the info anyway.

People requested results because they were not posted anywhere else, so I provided them. As far as me getting all of my live results from other websites, that is incorrect. For the Florida races, I had someone providing them to me via SMS at the track. The same as I will for the WoO race this week.

His results are alot easier than tracking down on a message board or usac or dirtvision. He has names, car numbers with complete info. The Usac site hardly worked this weekend. No live video and the results were mostly car numbers.
Keep up the good work.

I agree. I used Openwheel.org alot this weekend for results and stuff for my website. I will continue to use OpenWheel.org
There is a lot of work to post these results as you get them. I own a site very similar to Openwheel.org and will not post the name out of respect for openwheel.org. I will post the link to Openwheel.org on my site and im sure he will do the same.
Thanks Hawk for taking care of the people who needed the results. I had a good friend of mine there in a silver crown car and had never been to Manzy. Derek finished 9th and 5th. Great weekend for Hagar and the RE Tech team
I am like a fat girl at prom, just happy to be here...

I use hoseheads live and pushinthecushin. They are the best sites, in my opinion, and I know they are actually at the track. You get pictures and updates on what is going on at the track as well as fast results.

Those guys also do this for a living. Please remember that. I agree they are on top of their game for sure. But new things are coming for sure, just wait and see...Thanks

Hoseheads may do this for a living but I know the two guys that work on pushinthecushin do it as a hobby and spend their own money to bring live updates to us. I met one of them at Volusia and talked to him a bit. They want to do it for a living but need the funding. Kudos to everybody who posts information. All I was saying is give credit to those who travel and work hard to provide it. Keep up the good work folks.

Thanks Scott, I have added a link to you on my site.
A lot of folks don't realize what some of us go through to post results. For the All Star races in Florida, I had to listen to the broadcast and type the results as they came in into a spreadsheet, then post them. For the WoO races, it was a combination of SMS texts recieved from a buddy of mine who was there while also listening to the broadcast and typing them up as it happened. It sure would be easier if Mr Gibson would talk a little slower... 
As the season moves into full swing, I too will be doing live updates of "special" races from the tracks in my area.
Thanks go out to the support I have received so far in this VERY time consuming endeavor.
