Thanks Doug I'll tell Porter also. We got teched in and I was in the first pair down the track. I was 014 10.888 not to bad of a guess the DA was 1530 then the clouds started rolling in and you can fell the weather changing. I put a new set of plugs in and changed the jet 2 numbers the DA is 1200 and falling. Tomorrow its going to be a Hi of 65 degs. Now it spitting rain and a good 10+mph wind blowing. They say its going to clear up around 4PM we'll see.

Well the rains finally won. They dried the track and called us up (all class's) and wouldn't you know it the sprinkles started up again. The plan now is to go thru the awards ceremony's starting at 10AM and start the T&T at 12PM until 4PM then go in to qualifying. The weather should be good see ya tomorrow.

Good luck Robbie I hope you and Craig both get it done. Dang I wish I was there in the mix , I sure do miss it. If you talk to Steve Furr tell him I said good luck also.

[Robbie Welch]

Thanks Marshall,(that is you right). Today is a new day the AC was running the night before last and the heat was on last night. Its clear and cold in the 40s this morning and the wind is still blowing its going to be fast out there. This morning is the awards ceremony which should be cool then its back to the T&T. More photos to come.

Good Luck Robbie & "Hollywood" Porter. We'll be watching to see how you guys do down there.

If you hear and grumblings about a 2017 schedule let us know, hopefully would like to start working on a .90 schedule in the next few weeks once NHRA releases the Divisional Schedule and IHRA releases what they are planning.

That's me Robbie, it's been awhile since I 've seen you I talked to Craig at Jackson last year. My youngest son is now the driver and is still learning so we have not ventured to far from home don t want to bring a knife to a gun fight but he is coming along nicely. I still keep up with the sport both sides everyday and really enjoy your live coverages and will be watching on motor mania. Good luck to my 2 favorite FORD drivers.

Why did they cancel the sweet 16 race? Heard on mmtv3 they said it was cancelled.

[Robbie Welch]

Rob, will do but we haven't heard anything I'll put Porter on it he likes to talk. Marshall it'll be great to see you again and young Marshall. I talked to your dad a couple years ago at Carolina nice man and a great family. Chris the sweet 16 was canceled because of the rain yesterday. They had our money and a lot of cars never went down the track so everyone got 1 T&T run this morning. The super series is just now getting there qualifying run. Will today started out pretty good they had the awards ceremony and it was pretty cool I got a great trophy and a nice check (Florida here we come) Todays run were a lot different then yesterday to say the least. It was fast I was 011 10.817 came back and was 015 10.94. We get one more qualifying run tomorrow morning then in to eliminations. He are some photos from the awards ceremony.

Craig receiving his award

I'm a lot happier then I look

Robbie we are fine, lots of flooding in our area but none of it affected us except for all the road closures. I did have to skip Silver Dollar race because it was going to take an extra 3 hours to get there because of all the detours. Thanks for thinking of us, I'll be rooting you on this weekend!
