You know he and Justin are friends but that will go out the window at these last 3 races. It's going to be fun to watch.

Jerry had his championship, Ryan has his, now it's Brians turn to get one for the family.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Brian has got through 3 rounds so far.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

They called the race for today. More rain so finish tomorrow. Stock out at 8:00. Get a good nights sleep, Brian. You've still got work to do.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Hmm...

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

After +/- 3 rounds for most the rains came again! Restart with stock at 8:00 am. How many times can you do that in one weekend????

We’re done for the season. Good luck to all the rest of the season and safe travels.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Sorry we have not been around today for updates, but we drove over to see our good friend Jim Cimarolli for the first time in a bunch of years. I have pictures but Photobucket is not being nice again, so I will post when I can !! It was really great to see him.

I guess everyone knows by now that Leah Pritchett with Kevin Helms as Crew Chief won the Factory Showdown Championship for 2018. Then she won the Fall Nationals. Congrats to all involved with that cool operation!!

The rains came again so everything is cancelled til 8 in the morning! Rain is on the agenda for tomorrow also, so I hope they get it all in.

The "AARP" 'Cuda and the always smiling Larry Hill.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Bobby Brannon, one of the nicest guys I know, with his new best friend Dominic! The black paint on Miller's Camaro looks flawless.
And don't ask about the genius who parked the car in what turned out to be a suddenly appearing lake...

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Congrats to Brian Mac in Stock.

Where are you, Floyd? Sleepin' ?

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

In the shower. Got a late start this morning.
Couldn't be happier for him. I think that makes him #1 in points.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Well I guess we see how much I know! If my arethemitic is right he passed Lamb by 1 point. Congrats

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

How many points did he get?

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

He was improving on a 2cd round loss(40) and you get 105 for the win so he improved his total by 65.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

He improved on his 40 point showing earlier in the year so he added 65, bringing him to 690 which is indeed one point more than Justin. He can still improve on a 50 point national at either Vegas or Pomona. Don't recall exactly how many points Brad Burton accumulated a few years ago but he's in rarified air; impressive to say the least. Justin would have have to R/U or Win at the Vegas Divisional (assume it will be a 128 car field again) to even improve his total.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Well we stayed at the track today until the finals were over. Congrats to Brian for the win and Cooter for the runner up!! Also Congrats to David Rampy for his runner ups in Super Stock and Comp! I just knew he was going to get that 100th win there! It was probably well that he didn't because there would not have been any fan fare at all. They were not even announcing who was going down the track at the track!!! Hopefully he will get it next week at Charlotte, closer to home!! Also Congrats to Brandon Bakies for his win in Super Stock!

We have arrived at the RV park at Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Ok. We plan to stay here until we can get in at Noble. There are a few rigs in here already!!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Careful don't lose your entry money! 😜

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Just read that Noble has been postponed 2 weeks due to past and future precipitation. :(

"Thunder Valley Raceway Park Noble, Oklahoma

***ATTENTION LODRS RACERS***

The NHRA Division Race at Thunder Valley has been postponed due to the weather. The new dates for the event will be October 26th - 28th.

Unfortunately the weather forecast for this upcoming weekend keeps getting colder and wetter. That, coupled with the rain we have already received, makes trying to make this race happen nearly impossible. In addition to the paramount concern of racer safety, we also want to save everyone the time, money and aggravation of attending a cold, muddy and rainy event that we don’t have confidence in finishing.

We hope everyone will be able to adjust their schedules and be able to attend the event at the end of the month.

For our TVRP bracket racers, please note that the two-day season finale Summit ET Event will be moved to November 10th and 11th.

Thanks for your understanding and please help spread the word. More information will be released next week."

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

So glad they made the decision this early! We were on our way to the laundromat this morning when Jimmy called and told us. Just left laundry in car, went back to campground and checked out and now we are headed home!! 639 miles!!

If you are ever down Thackerville, OK way, the Winstar campground is the nicest we have ever been to! All concrete roads and pads and plenty of room to make turns and get in and out! We highly recommend it! Plus I won a little money again at the casino last night!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

The Fall Classic is at Indy this weekend .

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Looks like it will be a Saturday only race, if the weather forecast comes true.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Weather is looking better.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

I'm just a follower, don't put st much but was just wondering if you made it home.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Got home today at 2:00 pm CST and just under 2000 miles for the round trip. We had a great time, saw a lot of old friends, and made a few new ones.

The pits in Texas were so dusty, I will never complain again if we have to park on the grass. There was so much dust in the air that a MSHA inspector would have shut it down. After the rain mud.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

That place has always been terrible for sportsman racers.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Cimo !!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Larry and Patsy, I always love the photos and comments that are a part of each trip you do. Your "Live From" threads are always fun to read and keep all of us informed.

Since this trip got changed for you, are you going to any other races or are you done for the year???

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Hi Larry and Patsy. Very glad I got to finally meet you in Great Bend. I appreciate all the live updates.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Thanks guys!

Actually, Larry is in Indianapolis this weekend for the D3 Open. I stayed home to do 3 weeks of laundry!!


We are still planning on running the D3 divisional at St. Louis next weekend for our last race of the season. We will be doing more "Live" from there. If Larry gets a chance, I am sure he will do a little updating from Indy!!

Patsy

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

It's cold, it's wet, it's not dusty or muddy, way better than Texass!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Mr Larry solo? How are you eating, are you ok? Who will fix the adult beverages? Someone please look after Mr Larry for us, all of us in D2 are worried about him being solo!!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Cum By Ya !

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

I guess he ought to go by himself more often!! He is in to the 4th round!!

Patsy

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Go Larry!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

They ended up splitting the money with 9 cars left!!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Well we are here in St. Louis for the last leg of our bread basket tour! We are parked and ready to do a little testing tomorrow ! There are quite a few people here already. It is going to be cold here this weekend! The chance of rain is less now. Only 20% chance on Friday and the rest of the time good but just cold! Test and tune from 1-7 tomorrow!

More later!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Have the Irvings made it yet?

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Tomorrow should be fast !!!

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

40*, 30.10, 57%

It's fast, 1.20+ fast. T and T will be fast if the track is ready.

For you racers not familiar with the AHFS please reread, it explanes mineshaft conditions, averages, and application of power for over 1.20 under runs!

St Louis is the last grade point avable at a quality track east of the Mississippi.

Re: “Live” from our Bread basket tour!!
 

Have not seen Irving yet, but Defrank is here!
