"Live" from St. Louis national 2020

Larry Hill · 10-01-2020, 06:28 PM

Well the round track is filling up with sportsmen racers. It has been a pretty day, but cool and windy. Stock is supposed to start out in the morning at 8:30 with it 42 degrees! That is really chilly!!!

We drove around the pro pits and were surprised how sparsely populated it was. I guess they don't run until Sat so maybe they are mostly arriving tomorrow!! We all get 2 runs tomorrow, then round 1

No news much that isn't already on here, so more later.

Looks like it will be a mineshaft there this morning.

Baby, it’s cold outside !!! DA this morning is -946’ by our gauges !! 46 degrees! At least it didn’t get as cold as predicted ! The sun is shining now but lots of clouds, too. We are supposed to start out with stock in about an hour. Mineshaft does look like a possibility!!

More later!

Any live coverage from St Louis today so the working stiff's can watch ?

TOM KASCH · 10-02-2020, 09:27 AM

Look for a new[ redid] 1970 B/sa Camero..
his brother Wayne bought it & it was Cal's old car. Chris is only going to drive it for this race.

Larry Hill · 10-02-2020, 10:22 AM

45 stockers went down! Lots of red lights and spinning!! Also lots of running to the 1000’. No mineshaft!!

The blue Camaro that Chris Stephenson was driving looks like Cal and Mary Ann Method’s old car!

Air was-730’

The only live I guess is NHRA Tv

Tricky conditions with a big direct headwind

Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Pro Mod, Factory Stock, Sportsman action halted
Due to a unique combination of cold temperatures an d wind direction, NHRA officials have postponed the conclusion of racing in the Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Pro Stock, and Factory Stock classes, as well as the balance of Lucas Oil Sportsman racing, at the Mopar Express Lane NHRA Midwest Nationals presented by Pennzoil. But not before sending a Top Dragster down. Care to guess how that went? Yup, one of them wrecked hard into the wall and folded up. Anyone ready to cancel 2020 yet and start fresh??
