As Paul said, we have gone from being ahead by a couple of hours to behind by a couple of hours. They are still cleaning up a Top Sportsmen crash now. I don't think we will get to Round 2 tonight either.

Hey Beth, we miss you guys out here. Hope Alex is feeling better and we will see you at the Nationals here in a couple of weeks.

They finally cancelled out Stock around 7:30 this evening. There were lots of oil downs and crashes in TD and TS. On one of the spills, we heard they used 28 bags of oil dry to clean up 44 quarts of diesel oil. The clean-up crew did a great job of cleaning up all the major messes all day. They are still running now, but we are ready for bed. We haven't heard the schedule for tomorrow yet, but probably start at 8 with super street, then stock.

More tomorrow

What would hold 44 quarts of diesel oil ??
That bogles the mind........!

Re: "Live" from Joliet Div. 3 points race!
 

It was a Top Dragster with a cummins diesel engine. It had 2 sets of twin turbos. The oil pan was bowed out about 4 inches and scraping the ground, when he came off the track. The oil pan also had a couple of holes.

No diaper?

I think the EPA may have to be called in on this one.


two sets of twin turbos? crazy.

Re: "Live" from Joliet Div. 3 points race!
 

Shouldn't allow diesels. They do hold too much oil.

Re: "Live" from Joliet Div. 3 points race!
 

The dragster that lost the motor had a DT-466 engine if I'm not mistaken. The Scheid Diesel dragster has the 5.9 Cummins and did not oil the track. It definately laid down a lot of oil!

Well it is another gorgeous day here at the track. They have been preparing the track for a while now. There have been no announcements yet, but I think Super Street starts out in about half an hour at 8, then stock according to the original schedule. Larry and I were commenting this morning about the fact that we had not watched TV this weekend at all. Then we realized it has not rained! It has been just really comfortable to sit outside as long as you were in the shade. Up in the stands is pretty brutal, but in the shade it is nice.

Well on to Round 2 ( and hopefully more)!

We don't start til 9. Ugh! I could have gotten another hour of sleep!
