Live from Earlville D5 LODRS

Just pulled in the gate at Tri-State Dragway for the final D5 race. Stay tuned for more news after I get parked.

I'm parked and thru Tech. A good number of cars have shown up today and the track is starting to fill up.

Racing starts tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock with Super Street out first followed by Stock. The weather forecast shows a risk of rain starting tomorrow morning throughout the early afternoon.

It may be difficult to report from the track since the signal there is extremely weak.

Here are some photos from the pits this afternoon.

Some Photos of the facility and some of the interesting support equipment.

I've never seen so much corn in my life it's everywhere you turn.

Hi all,

I love this track it's smooth as glass, uphill shutdown, downhill return road and downhill staging lanes.............

The only other thing that I would want was it be closer to my home.....

Happy racing to all,
Bob

PS:
I almost forgot the best thing which is the chocolate chip cookies at the time slip booth

Good morning. The weather for today is looking much better - no more rain. I'll be back later with a report - signal permitting. Photos will have to wait till tonite when I can get on WiFi.

Hi,

I have a question.................

I just went to the Lucas Live Timing site to check on Super Stock qualifying and they only had 20 cars listed......

Is it a very bad turn out or a problem live timing?????????????????

Thanx,
Bob

Unique burn out box at Earlville.Screen first to clean your tires.Then a wet metal surface to get them moist.Then the burn out surface itself. Works well.

my last trip out there i went to Dyersville and filled the lounge up with model kits from the AMT store. went to fields of dream, had to show my drivers license cause nobody would believe i had the same name as "shoe less" lol
Tri State is a great place to go to, if you have not been there, its got to be on your "bucket list".
