A suggestion overheard in tech , a sign that reads "All weight must be added or removed before entering scales".

Larry, watch out for that guy in the orange 69 Camaro. And get a picture of him at the scales and fuel check after that first pass!

I stand corrected.

Re: "Live" from Topeka!
 

It is a gorgeous day here in Topeka. Blue skies and temp in 60's. I haven't figured DA yet. I will get it for you later. Super street starts out at 7:45, then stock, super gas, superstock, sc, then 1st round of class. It would have been nice to get a run in each lane before class, but that's the way it goes. We are supposed to run all 3 rounds of class by 12:30.

Nothing much happening right now except for warm-ups.

More later.

So where is Terry Edwards pitted???

Well we just made our 1st run. There were 91 stockers, I believe. There were 7 A/SA. Most everybody was out of it. West went 10.41 at 105. Duell only went 117. The DA was 2232'. We seem to be about a tenth slower than Norwalk a couple of weeks ago at the same DA. We only went 10.38. We should pick up a little the next run. They are running super stock now.

Well wish us luck. We're gonna need it.

Later.

Oh, Banks in a new Mustang in A/S went 10.98 sputtering all the way down the track and still ran 130 mph.

Super Stock just ran...DA after the run was 2930ft, with a Temp of 78.9 and rising quickly! It's gonna be a hot one today.

They just called Stock Class to the lanes.

Re: "Live" from Topeka!
 

Well let me begin by it wasn't a good day for Mopars! If you forget to turn on the 2 step, things usually don't go so well. Sure enough, the big red light comes on! Ronnie West and Gene Mosbek also red-lighted. I haven't actually added up, but I would say more than half the races 1st round of class were decided by a red-light. I guess we will see when DRC posts the results. A few winners 1st round: Duell, Henderson, Fletcher--beat Hagberg who had a 330 light, Findell, Williams, Cotten,Suiter, Scheitlin, Folk, Biondo, Pendarvis, Fuqua, Waldo, Grier,Gaynor, Knudsen, Picht.

More later.

Re: "Live" from Topeka!
 

I just checked my guage, and I currently have 3382Ft and rising for DA. Yet to run Rd1 of Class in SS, but getting closer.

Terry Edwards is pitted on the very outside row of the pits...furthest from the track.

Just heard a rumor that Jami Jones' pit area will be surving HOMEMADE Ice Cream later today as well!!!

Re: "Live" from Topeka! K/SA
 

K/SA Chris .001 and Mr Line .009, wow. How often are class runs that close on the launch?
