You got it good down there, it's 18 degrees up here in Michigan.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Don't know about DRC. I will see if I can find a sheet in a bit. Just finished up 2nd qualifier. John Willis blew up his B/S engine so there was quite a clean up. They are not putting up indexes, so I have to find a sheet to see what classes everyone is running.


More later.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Still don't have a sheet up for stock. Lots of mistakes on first one. Round 2 should be up shortly. 39 super stockers first round. Brian Oakes #1@-1.12

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

John, Look on the bright side....it's going all the way up to 27 tomorrow!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

This is after 2 runs and before cleanups.

Wolkwitz's 8.22, if correct, beats his record by a ton.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Wolkwittz is good. SS/AH record 8.22@160. Brian Oakes set the SS/CA record 8.91.

Good morning, 7:30 AM 40*, 88%, and 30.15 pressure. It could be mineshaft conditions today. The wind looks to be a cross tail wind. Only three 396 cars here with two of them stick cars. Five of the top 12 including #1 are stick cars in stock.

Frito posted on Moparts that Gary went 1.12 60 ft in the AH car. One stout stick Hemi car.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Gary Wolkwitz reset the record in SS/AH to 8.22. The air is real good in Orlando.:cool:

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

That Roberts feller sure has a big smile on his face. I would too if I was in Orlando right now. Going down to 5 degrees tonight.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Bruce, I was going to comment on the weather but at this stage there is nothing left to be said for the northeast. Under blizzard warning for this evening into Sunday on eastern Long Island. We would all be smiling to be in Orlando.:(

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Wow only six comp cars and no Rampy. Talk about a class the is dying. DRC only has one round of qualifying up so far, hungry for info. Tom

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Great job guys as usual.
How about a pic of that Nees's Peeses in a rare out of division appearance?

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

What's going on down there?

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Ya gotta love it when the word "clutch" is involved with a record setting fast SS car !!!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Sorry, the new hemi record (SS/AH) has an automatic.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Dyno is correct on the tranny...You Tube of the run over on MOPARTS.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Final qualifying is up on DRC, won't have any eliminations results until tomorrow evening.

Things ran a bit late and the track cooled off, so they postponed first round of Super Gas to Sunday.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Hows the car running Larry ?

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

If I follow the AHFS, SS data will not go in the base as the top half is over .850 under, Stock did not make it there, and I think around .830 under. Am I reading this correctly? What happened to Mack Reeves?

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Thanks Larry. You guys are the best.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Sorry I haven't posted today but we have had company visiting and I have been trying to explain Stock eliminator and super street ( since hey ran before us) to our friends and I realized that is not a very easy thing to do!


But for the important things--we won 1st round!!! Yea!! Ronnie Traupman redlighted against us!!


It has been another beautiful all day here. It started out a little cool, but sunny all day. We ran 2 qualifiers, then 1st round around 4:00. They also ran the first round of super stock this evening. We start out in the morning with 11.0 index at 9:30, then round 2 of stock.


Winners today were Allison, Hill, Adkinson, Tuttle, G. Russell, Brooks, Campolito, Schrimsher, Rover, Bailey, Kincaid, Dobson, Bricker, Tolson, Lamar, Nees, Fitzpatrick, Parker, Lindsey, Longhany, Mace, Pinkston, Pappas, Roberts, and Hamby.


No shows were Reeves, Smith, and Willis. Willis blew his engine yesterday, but I don't know what happened to the others. Mack never made a good pass.

Happy Valentine's Day to Mr. Dave Ley and Mrs. Gloria Ley after almost 35 years of wedded bliss!


And Happy Valentine's Day to all the wives who are at home and not out here racing with their hubby's today! We all had a great day here at the track!

And this is a picture of our visitors here today! On the left is Dan Smith and his wife Delores from Seminole, FL that Larry graduated and played basketball with at Austin Peay. On the right is their daughter Dyionna and her husband Tim that live here in Orlando. I think they all enjoyed their first trip to the racetrack, but I don't know if they understand all the ins and outs of racing in 1 day!!


http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...2015/005_1.jpg
All of us!! As you can see, Larry and Dan see eye to eye~


I will try to get more pics tomorrow!!


Good night!!

Gary's run…

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Great run David! How is your finger? I heard it looked bad!! And not in a good way! Having the record hopefully dulls the pain a little!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
