Re: "Live" from Topeka!!
 

Well, it is a beautiful day here in Topeka. Sunny with a nice breeze. It is supposed to get to 82 today. There has been a steady flow of rigs moving in this morning, but still plenty of spots. I will try to get some pics later today. Talked with Don Duke and Mrs. Duke last night and they are taking good care of your car Jamie!

Hope to see some video and/or pictures of Nicholson and Bichlmeier Chevy II.

Looks like a real nice track. Not much chance of crashing into a TREE! I always enjoy your travelogue so keep the photos and race results coming. Good luck this weekend.

They were even kind enough to remove the cover for you!!

Re: "Live" from Topeka!!
 

Well it was a gorgeous day here at Heartland Park all day. Head wind was blowing all day 7-15 mph. Should make racing interesting. Stock starts out in the morning at 8. We and super stock both get 2 runs, then we both run Class. Oh, BTW, they were doing the pee test here today for lots of folks. Paula Cotten was tested. She said she had peed at nearly every race track she has raced at!!!

Well more tomorrow!

Re: "Live" from Topeka!!
 

Thanks! That looks awesome. Love the sticker too! If you see Gene again tell him I said thanks for removing the trans tunnel.
