Hey Guy's,
Would you buy a set of smuged over slicks from (up front Uncle Jack) the yankee carpetbagger from Christmas City PA.?

We're pretty much done for the day as we got our second lick in and most qualified positions stayed the same because it slowed up a few hundreths .Turned out to be a extra nice day here in the Peach state -- couldn't ask for more -- sunshine -nice temps - and a little tailwind .....perfect .

A little while ago I was looking for a snack so I took a walk up to the refreshment area -- what a surprise -- no subs -- no pizza -- not even chili ! ! ! But I did get a pleasant surprise-- the lady at the stand said try these -- I wasn't going to but she "sold" me -- get this -- fried green tomatoes
with ranch dressing -- not bad-not bad at all .

To all my friends at Maple Grove this weekend my advise is just sit tight -- tomorrow will be nice.

For a minute I thought I was at Maple Grove when Bucky's car appeared but it was only the Teuton compound .Then I ran into Mark Beaver and his extra clean 98 Camaro ..........Later .

Hey Jack, welcome to the South. Take it easy on my Southern Pals!:D

Re: Live from Reynolds,GA-NHRA LucasOil Series
 

Thanks Woody --I just hope your pals don't beat-up on me too badly tomorrow morning..........

Almost forgot--thanks to the track operator for the nice Bar-B-Q he put on tonight .Also heard a rumor that a certain S/S racer who shall remain un-named imported a stripper for tonights' entertainment in his trailer-- what next ?

Go Phillies...........

Sunny morning here in Reynolds on race day--temps in the high fifties and climbing with the barometer at 29.56 -humidity at 72% and drying off fast-- 478 DA at the moment so its a little faster this morning.They're drying the dew off the track at this time with the jet dryer so we should get going soon .

Took a few photos this morning--ya gotta like the Reynolds people - guess they like people but not trucks. Also check out the 58 Ford S/ST car -- very different than the rest .This morning I joined the parade here as they let you warm-up on the track.....try that in D1 . Later...........Click on the pics to enlarge .

First round is done and this could be a great race for the D4 boys with Teuton putting Pinkston out --Buchanan outing Schrimscher--Ford beating Dobson -- Doughty going past Reid -- Carey beating Griffis -- Birkett outing Kevin Helms -- and Hall going around Weiss . Other Notables -- Grubbs put Somerton out -Vierheller dumped Gracie (ain't she a cutie)Howell -- Heads-ups-- Johnson over Radley (E/SA) -- Torren over Harris(D/SA)and then there's me who had a light so bad the starter was walking toward me when I left-- ouch ! ! ! ! And to add insult to injury my second round race would have heads-up and seven (7) tenths slower--thats right(.70) -- luck is everything . Later.........got plenty of time now .
