"Live" from Shreveport D4 LODRS

countrypuppy4865 · 09-13-2014, 08:42 AM

Well, I'm getting a late start this weekend. We arrived at around 11:30 yesterday, and, shortly after, we were greeted with a teardown request on my super stocker. So, we tore down (while making one qualifying run of stock in the middle). After the qualifying run, we put everything back together.

Now, the weather should be great this weekend. Yesterday, it was in the mid 70s when we arrived and overcast. The sun came out and it warmed up into the lower 80s. The temps are currently around 60 degrees. The high today is 78 low 59 and tomorrow high 84 low 64. Super stock is out first at 10am so it should be some big wheelies and fast times! More later.

What was the reason for the tear down Cooter.

The did the same last year near the end of the year for division leaders and maybe even 2nd and 3rd.

Well things ran pretty smoothly until the last session of top dragster comp and top sportsman. They had several delays. I am not sure what they were. Air was pretty stable all day with the cloud cover keeping the temperature down. The wind was head and cross head from 6 - 15mph varying during the day. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warmer. Stock is up first at 9am.

Oil downs and a TS went off the end of the track.
