Stock rd 2 has been scratched for this evening, still running the oilers now then alcohol then super stock.

Re: Live from Charlotte 4wide Nationals
 

Well after about 4 pairs of Super Stock went down with everyone in the right lane about to crash Bryan Worner had a single in the left lane and had severe traction problems. Worner stopped on the track at the 330 to have a discussion woth an official and NHRA decided it was to dangerous to continue. Good job Bryan!
I took a few pictures that I will try to post later and we are to start off where we left off tomorrow at 10:30am.

I don't remember it ever being this cold at a national event. Make sure and drain your radiators or add some anti freeze tonight

I saw 2 commercials for the 4-wides on local Charlotte TV Friday night, and over half the commercial they were showing sportsman cars in the background instead of the pro cars - interesting and I thought effective. Lot of people down there Saturday, you could hardly walk thru the pits.

Re: Live from Charlotte 4wide Nationals
 

You are right about the pits today they were packed today on our side. I was pleasantly surprised that alot of people were taking pictures and asking questions about our cars.

Mrs Rowe called tonight to let us know that I was doing good on reports but it occurred to her that Ms Patsy always tells everyone about their eating arrangements for the evening.
Well we've been eating just what you would expect out of 40 something guys, Thursday night was hamburgers on the grill with adult beverages in aluminum stemware, followed by 2 nights of steaks on the grill and yes more aluminum stemware.
Not quite as glamorous as the Down South tour, where's the Hidalgo's with there low country broil when you need them?

Thanks Ken!

Re: Live from Charlotte 4wide Nationals
 

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! This is what we all dream about being in on Sunday, in case you're just joining us that will be 1st round for most of the drivers here this weekend.
Let me tell you if you didn't come to Charlotte packing some heat you would've been in trouble. Me I woke with a frozen fresh water pump on my coach this morning.
Last night they said they would lead off today with continuation of Super Stock now it's supposed be round 2 of Stock. I get Mr Bongiovanni whom I met for the first time yesterday, very nice man. The interesting race coming up that everyone is talking about will be the heads up between Jeff Adkinson and Joel Warren in Mr Bobby's car. That should be the one to watch. My "teammate" Greg Rowe will have our ol buddy Mickey Whaley, those two can't seem to get away from each other.

Re: Live from Charlotte 4wide Nationals
 

Oh yeah, what started out as just a little freelance work to fill in for Ms Patsy has turned into a full-time position. Ken must've really liked my work so I can't wait to see that Christmas bonus that Jack is always talking about.
