Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Norwalk; from my observation point every one respected our nation’s flag.
Just a good old National event. Put it on your list I believe you’ll like it. |
Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Congratulations to Joe, when he's on a roll watch out!

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Good racing Larry( and all) just a little short.
You're due Sir. You're correct, there's always next week. Congrats to all winners. Walt |
Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Walt, you are the only person ever to call Larry Hill "Just a little short"
LOL! See you at the races, Wayne Kerr |
Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Mr Baden came on the loud speaker yesterday afternoon and ask us racers if we saw any trash if we would pick it up or sweep it up. And do you know what happened, we racers pitched in and helped.

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
We are still here and plugged in on the pavement for the rest of the week! Comp and Alcohol have designated spots to park over here and Stock, super stock, top dragster and sportsman are filling in all the rest. New arrivals are to park in Linders Lot starting Wednesday at 6 pm. They will then move over on Thursday morning! Test and tune begins at noon on Thursday. There is a chance of rain all week but just like last week I am sure it can be dealt with!
Looking forward to another great race!! |
Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Larry, just called and asked to verify that we could get in Linders field on Wed. after 6 PM. No one there knew if that was true. Only thing they knew is that I could get in Linders field after 8 AM on Thurs.

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Any scouting reports on how wet Linders Lot is?
|
Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Unfortunately, it's wet enough that they've closed it. An announcement is on the D3 facebook page.

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
This my come from under the heading of living the dream. We return from having a good meal at the Freight House in Norwalk, thanks Pete, only to find water in the floor. Did we leave the new vent open during the heavy rain storm, no. We’re plugged in with the A/C on. Now we notice a gurgling sound, not good. Bottom line a cut off valve blew apart and all the water that was in the tank is on the floor and underneath the floors. The silver lining is the water pump works very well and there is water available we just have to pick up and move to it. I find enough parts of the valve to tie wrap together without it leaking. It’s good to be lucky some days. Will get some parts for the repair. Now back to living the dream!
It test and tune day. |

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
To everyone attending the Norwalk divisional, were you able to use the online tech card link on the division website to fill out your tech card?
A couple people at NHRA worked pretty hard to get this new system up and running. This link should pre-populate all of your tech card info once you enter your member number and select your category on the first screen. It will pre-populate all of the tech card fields with the latest submitted tech card (in 2021) for that member number. If you have not entered a race in 2021, you will still have to fill out the full tech card. I believe the only field that does not pre-populate is the email address on the tech card. We are wanting some feedback as I was one of the beta testers for this program. I know everyone complained previously about having to "re-enter" all of the info every time last year and this year. Hopefully, this alleviated some of those growing pains. |
Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
I just used the NEW on line tech card. It was nice and easy to use. Please tell everyone that was involved with making the changes, "Good Job"!!!

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Austin, it worked great! Put in # and all the information was there! Even with signing waivers it was a 10 minute deal!! So much better!!
Well the grass side here is still awfully wet! Super cars are parked in staging and on pavement till around 1 when they are going to try to get them pitted. All other classes are pulling in Budweiser gate and parking. The weather is looking better so hopefully they will still be able to get test and tune in this afternoon! Patsy |

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
Still 65% humidity and big headwind so still not fast. We have made our 2nd run and are done for the day. There’s a clean up run later.

Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
temperature = 57.17 deg f
relative humidity = 87 % uncorrected barometer* = 29.04 inHg corrected barometer* = 29.97 inHg wind speed = 4.45 mph wind direction* = SW (265°) more info: current metric | historical | forecast | help dew point = 53 deg f saturation pressure = 0.471 inHg vapor pressure = 0.410 inHg grains = 62.4 air density (w/o water vapor) = 97% air density (w water vapor) = 96% |
Re: “Live” from Norwalk 2021
And Stock has been called to the lanes for our 3rd and final qualifying run! First round a little later in the day . I will post Q3 and ladders on my Facebook page. It is easier to do there

Ralph, Thanks. Relative humidity is not really good for much. Either Vapor Pressure or Gains of Water is much better. Stan |
