Well, it is another bright sunny day in KC. Sorry I didn't get back and post last night, but wine and cheese got in the way.
We should be starting around 9:30 with a time trial.

After we get everything ready to run, I will post more.

Well they just announced we are getting 2 time trials, and then run the 1st round by noon.

To continue with Top Stock from yesterday.
Round 2:
Stinnett 10.288, 127 beat Larry 10.289, 129
I Think Stinnett running super comp probably helped his pro light.
Koppein just made an easy pass for the bye.
Finals:
It was Koppein, 10.18 over Stinnett's 10.28.
I think those were the right numbers. I didn't write them down.

In the Stock/Superstock Gamblers race it was Town beating Larry Deforrest.
Deforrest bought Irving Johns car that was being driven by Jeremy Duncan.

Well we have met lots of really nice people since we have been here this weekend.
Tom Meyer brought over a really nice bottle of Nebraska wine from the only winery in Nebraska. We devoured it last night and everyone enjoyed it.

We had the South Dakota cheese from Dimock Dairy for everyone to sample last night. We never ate dinner. Just cheese and drinks, but we met lots of nice people. I took some pictures that I will try and post when I get home.

They just called us up for our 2nd time trial. On the 1st the car wanted to go right again, so hopefully this one will be better.
Oh, BTW, Congrats to Mike Koppein for his Top Stock win.

And thanks again to Tom Meyer for the wine.

More later.

More later.

well, we are now on our way home to Kentucky after 3 nice days in Kansas City. Tony Shaffer beat us by .015 in just a good old drag race.
You will never believe who showed up in the pits this afternoon. Bob Unkefer. He lives in KC and brought his wife's Focus there to race in footbrake. It was nice to see him again. He announced the Combo race. Good luck to him in Foot Brake!

Neither Don Duke and Jamie Kilgore raced 1st round. I don't know what happened to Don, but Jamie lost a block.

I think I left my notebook in the trailer, but when I find it, I will tell you 1st round winners.

Everyone be careful going home. The winds are really bad. Right now they are blowing from the North west giving us a tailwind home. We expect to get about 20 mpg going home.LOL

More later.

Re: Live from Kansas City Nat'l Open
 

Thanks to everyone that put this together. Thanks especially to Troy and Matt. This was a blast to do something new and all around one of the funnest times drag racing. Hopefully with more support we can keep this thing going next year. A big thank you has to go to my dad who builds one fast piece that I'm very lucky to push the pedal to the floor and show what he can do.
