Awesome pics. Almost like being there...until I look out the window. We got another 6" of snow yesterday and it was -6° F. this morning in Hartford, Mich. Enjoy the Florida weather.

How about Mr. Dime Rocket himself Billy Nees driving Larry Pappas's B/SA Firebird...

Go Billy!

The very few times you guys get snow and we don't.

I never really thought about the byes. Randi Lyn goes 1.17 under in an old school car and is not even close to getting a bye. Total joke. At least add them to the bottom of the sheet so they don't effect the ladder so much.

Go Billy!

No way that car fits the dime rocket formula and it is probably the first time in who knows how many years since he drove something that fast....

Larry told me Billy was going to drive one of his cars...I did not know which one until now....

Don't let him get comfortable in that car...he knows how to win and in a faster car it is way more likely than in a slow car...

Good Luck Billy....

Re: "Live" from the Gators 2014
 
Thanks Patsy for posting some of my pictures from qualifying today. I will post some later from Class and of course from Eliminator tomorrow. Probably won't get a chance to give you what I take in the morning, but I take a lot of pictures and I don't want to load up your computer with series coming off the line. Unfortunately some of the pros get in the way. Hopefully it will be to cold for them in the morning for S/SS and they will wait for the Force show.
Have a safe trip back home and we'll see you down the road.

It looks to me like he teched into the wrong class.
SS/AA Index = 8.80
SSA/A Index = 9.70

Shouldn't "Doudle A Auto" be SS/AAA?? More confusion....

And thanks to everyone posting pics and the "live" updates!! :)

Re: "Live" from the Gators 2014
 
Thanks everyone! And thanks to you, Robert for putting up pics of our car!

Well folks, it is COLD out there! It is 36 with 90% humidity. The track driers are going. We are supposed to run in 20 minutes and they haven't started calling us up yet. Larry is one of the first 3 pair to go out, so he is ready!

Yesterday was very busy with time trials and class. I looked at my watch and it was 4:00 and I didn't have a clue it was that late! Anyway we had a good day and a great meal last night at Cedar River Seafood with great friends! Al and Bev, Jim and Pam, Jim Roberts and Randy Eakins made the meal just a great time!

Well we are ready to roll!

More later!

I think that this is correct, he is in the incorrect class. Shame on tech guys for not catching it...if he is in the wrong class. He has to dial index and may not run it in elims.

Anybody heard why they aren't showing the index on the boards in comp?

Re: "Live" from the Gators 2014
 
Some of the best runs of the event. GT/J Final great race, side by side the entire track, and then the Stock auto final. R/SA Caprice vs Skillman in his AAAAAAA/SA Mustang. It looks like the caprice drilled the tree and won!, 14.05 index vs 10.00! Great race. But first rd qual of stock was crazy. The lime green charger clipped the sign in front of the tree, crazy wheels up and immediate right turn in the air, all was good. Mickey Whaley looked to almost put his on one tire then went to the center line. Darren Pool(sp?) Did one crazy wheel stand, dragging the bumper to at least 200' pedaled it once and then gone. Randy in her pontiac did the most perfect wheel stands I have seen in a long time and bad fast! Really had a great time yesterday. There was some incidents, a couple engine in the super classes, one of the super charged mustang looked like it ate itself and Brad Ploud appeared to start smoking on the other end very badly but he was back fro the next run so all is good. Wish every one the best of luck today. Also met some great guys and gals, Larry Hill and Mrs Patsy, The Phil Colms and Randal Camball.

Re: "Live" from the Gators 2014
 
Looks like several cars were a close to a tenth off the dial in Super Stock. Was this due to the track conditions/wheel stands/weather/ etc..? Great .009 package by Ronnie Dutton.
