Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

Thanks Toby! And also thanks for the kind words!

Well we broke out by .003, had a .013 light but Traupman had a .001! Oh well, that was a good race!

We are still here for the rest of the weekend, so I will continue to give updates. Now it is time for some Lime a Ritas, though!

Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

You can also hold your mouse over the stars and it will tell you how many people have voted and what the average rating is.

Yes, that was a very good race. Not much you can do about that. Better luck next time.

Thanks for all the great reports!

Nice Pictures!

George, good to see the convertible racing again as it should.

What trans are you running? Jim

Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

Good morning from Columbus! It is a really overcast morning with just a little peak of blue sky. It is suppose to get up to 93 today, but right now it is about 70. They are running super street round 1 now and super stock has been called up.

More later.

Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

If you by chance see Michelle Furr tell her I said Hi. She's running super street and s/c. Very nice girl. Thanks, Floyd

Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

Yup, Michelle's a good friend. Got to introduce my wife to her and the family yesterday.

Kept checking DRC last night for potential schedule changes. SS was originally scheduled for 9:30. Pulled in the gate at 9, and almost everyone was in the lanes already (although I still got there ahead of several folks again) At 9:30, they posted that SS would be at 9:00. Moral: get there early(er!)

Had a close race with Bobby Rashid this morning, .012 at the stripe. Barometer's up a tenth, humid, but starting to warm up and burn it off. Calm earlier, but the wind is picking up just a little and has shifted direction from the rest of the weekend.

Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

Hey Michael, I talk with her all the time but haven't got to meet her and her family. My son has met them in Florida. Give her a hug for me.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, Larry.

We have a Liberty LSC5100 5 speed, but we eliminated 5th gear and set it up a 4 speed.

Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

Thanks Tom, George and Michael for posting your pictures! Everyone has a different perspective on things and it is always nice for everybody to show theirs. I think I will give up on taking shots down the track. I am just not very good at it!

So a little about the race in general this weekend. After a slow start for the rain on Friday, things seemed to run very well. The track hooked and the wind did not vary a lot so it did not play into dialing so much as at previous races. The weather was a little warm, but nothing compared to Chicago or Norwalk. In the evenings, it was very pleasant to sit outside and eat dinner and have some good conversations! I discovered a new drink--Lime a Rita--and never even had a glass of wine all weekend! I wish we had done a little better racing, but Mr. Traupman's .001 light got the better of us!

So now we are off to the north to race in Stanton, Michigan next weekend and spend a little time with our friends Al and Bev Provoast on the way. We will see you back here next weekend!

Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

Anyone know why Carl Chiarenza was DQ in SS?

Re: "Live" From The Columbus Points Race

Have a great trip to Michigan and say we miss Al and Bev at the race track(does he still have his Oldsmobile Station wagon).Claude
