Re: Live from Kansas City Nat'l Open
 

The website says qualifying was changed to 10AM instead of 9. Is this not accurate?

Re: Live from Kansas City Nat'l Open
 

Well it is a bright, beautiful day here at KCIR. And COLD. I will go out and check the weather in a bit and report, but I sure am glad the heat works on our motorhome. This is the 1st opportunity to use it and it works fine!

They have not announced anything yet on the PA and Larry is up teching in. I will let you know when he gets back what time everything starts.

More later.

Re: Live from Kansas City Nat'l Open
 

Hey Pasty,it`s ironic you mentioned Denver and scoreboards. The one`s at KCIR used to be at Bandimere,and made their way out there around `94. Have fun this weekend,that`s one of my favorite tracks! Lane

Re: Live from Kansas City Nat'l Open
 

Well they finally started down the track around 10:45. They ran, sst, sc, then stock/superstock combo. 43 cars made the 1st pass. Larry almost took out the tree. I haven't talked to him yet. He went up to the starting line after he made the run. Hopefully nothing is broken, but he had to get out of it, so we don't have a time. Doesn't look like there is going to be but 5 or 6 in top stock. They were not announcing who anyone was much, so I have a lot of red cars, green cars and black cars with a time . Supposed to get 4 runs today.

More later.

Re: Live from Kansas City Nat'l Open
 

We had 45 cars on our 2nd run. They have not posted any qualifying. After lunch I will try to figure it out and let you know. We got a good run that time. 10.31 and 127 mph.
More later.

I guess the tower is trying to make me feel at home here, like I am at the Kentucky Derby. When they call a new class to the lanes, they play the "Call to the Post" like at a horse race. Pretty cool!

Well I will try to do my Nitro Joe imitation and give you the qualifying after 2 runs:

1. Greening-O/S -1.329
2. Shaffer-GT/MA--1.256
3. Van Lant-D/SA--1.254
4. Goertzen- D/S--1.252

9. Henderson-t/st--1.123
10. Stinnett-b/sa--1.120
11. Shaw-t/sa--1.08
12. Byrd-f/s--1.07
13. G. Greening-i/s--1.066
14. Bogina-ss/da--1.065
15. Voth-gt/e--1.063
16. O'Malley-ss/ja--1.059

3. Stinnett-10.30, 127
4. Van Lant-10.30, 125
5. Hill-10.25, 127
6. Peterson-10.35, 125

Round 1:

Stinnett-10.32, 126 beat Van Lant 10.30
Hill-10.30, 128 beat Henderson (broke)
Koppein-10.19, 128 beat Peterson 10.35, 125

Koppein has the bye next round.
