The high of driving a race car beats any drug.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

I gambled on a great light and lost. This Is Vegas Baby!!!!!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

As you can tell by Larry's post, we got beat this morning. He had a .012 red light. Seemed like about half the runs were determined by a red light! So I guess we now get ready to concentrate on the points race next week! More later. Going up to watch super stock!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Nice job Toby!! LMAO

Here comes the NHRA Whizz Quiz... LOL!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

We have just been relaxing and enjoying ourselves since we got beat. Even got up early this morning and watched rounds 4 and 5 of stock and superstock. It's down to 4 stockers and 3 super stockers now. Interesting round 4 in superstock when Biondo broke something and almost crossed the center line after his opponent red-lighted. Sitting in the stands it looked like he was really close to the line. The officials all came out and looked at the track, so I guess they were assured that he did not cross the center line. They had told all classes to come back to staging immediately after they won. After super comp finished up their round 5, there was about a 10-15 minute delay before super stock started their round 5. I would like to hope that NHRA would have done that for any of us and not just a special few. Whoever won that round had a bye into the finals. Peter lost that round, but still had a .012 light after all the thrashing to get the car fixed.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Congratulations to Cody Lane for winning Super Stock and to Peter Biondo for winning Stock. Good job, guys!

Patsy looks like the weather is just awesome!!!! Wish I was there!!!!

I was at Zmax on Friday & oh my it was brrrrrrrrr cold!

Any chance you guys are coming to the National Open in Florida next month?

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Karen, the weather has been fabulous all week long. It is supposed to cool down the next couple of days with lows in the 40s and highs in 60-70s. We are planning on being here all week for the divisional this weekend and then on to Pomona next week. So once we get home we will be in for the winter. Hopefully we will see you in Feb. for the Gainesville points race.

Here are a couple more pics:

I had a good time Sunday morning watching the sportsman racing next to my old time nemesis Lance Line. The Burtons, Scheitlin, Brand, and others were up the stands enjoying the Sunday runs. Fletcher was watching at the fence. It was a chamber of commerce day for racing.

After the last pair went down and the event was in the books it got windy. Today its howling gusting to 40+

Now for a couple of days off to enjoy the distractions of Vegas

I second that very good.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Now I just can't wait to see the official sponsor of that "Medicinal" market Bobby!
It is now legal here for medical treatment, yet still illegal for employment testing.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Well I guess I better get ya'll caught up on Vegas, baby!

We left the track on Monday and went to the Strip and stayed at Harrah's until this morning! We had a great time with the Cottens and Luneacks. Didn't win any money, but didn't lose too much. I have a few pictures that I will get uploaded and post soon.

Then we came back out here to the track today for test and tune. We got our 3 runs for $100. They know how to charge out here! He blew the tires off 1st run, but got 2 good ones after that. There appeared to be quite a few testing today. Then tonight I cooked chili and it was pretty good even if I say so myself. It has turned cooler, so the warm chili was good.

Oh, Sunday night and Monday, it was really windy here! 30 or so mph sustained winds with gusts up to 50-60 mph. Dust everywhere!!

The rest of the week it is supposed to be 70s for highs and 40s for lows and lots of sunshine!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Well it is another boo-tiful morning here in Las Vegas! It is about 50 now, going up to 70. I guess everybody is richening up this morning. They have already called for the Alarm Stockers! 2 runs today, 1 tomorrow, and eliminations at 8 on Saturday!

Happy Halloween!!!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Forgot how much they stretched out this event. In any case I've got UStream pulled up to watch this morning's Stock and Super Stock passes then on with my day. Can't wait for elims on Saturday, going to be an interesting points race. Good luck Larry and Patsy!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Thanks Jim! We need it!

93 cars went down first round in Stock! As Larry said in the other post, unofficially Calvert in #1 at 1.25 under. #2 is Reyes at 1.18 under.

It was great to hear Alan Rhinehart announcing stock. He knows most of the stockers and does a great job! The other guy is ok, too, but last weekend he kept calling the Cuda purple! Everyone knows it is a "manly" pink!

Super stock is running now and then 1 round of everything before we run again.

More later!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

104 cars went down for the 2nd session of stock. Most lost about .05 from this morning. We are done for today! Time to go downtown and see all the crazies for Halloween!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

It should be faster this morning the barometer is up to 28.01. Last hit after super street runs first this morning. I wonder how many people will be playing the ladder game?

Yesterday Pires was all smiles all day after Boston won the series.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Jeff Lee ...1.03 under! And some of the new guys thought he was a big BS-er.
Well,, he still may be .... but good run, after 7 years!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Mark, didn`t he say he was going to set the C/S and D/S record this year? Tom

Would you please post pics of Staci Smith's Daytona, especially under the hood?

Thanks,

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

There's a red Camaro I know of that just might have something to say about that. I think his name is Duzac or something like that lol! ☺

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

Frank, for Staci's pic look back on page 36.

They haven't posted final qualifying yet because they are doing clean-ups.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 

I was also hoping to see the 383 under the hood, but I appreciate your consideration, thanks.
