Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Congrats BUT it would have been neat to see Drew and Merc Heads up and who would have lifted first and to see if the raced to the 1320 or 1000 ft! We won't know today.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

I don't think either would have lifted!!


You may have to squint to read this, but round 1 winners are circled:

round 2 check marks are winners
lost with a -.004 red

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

You were just 0.007 from a perfect run, but the red part pretty much negates the 0.003 over the dial at the other end.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Winners in super stock- Stephenson Frech Rampy Cooter Adkinson Schindler Cacaro Hoover Gallagher Teuton Shaw Worner Nowicki

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Anyone have the ladder for round 2 of super stock. Please post.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

DRC results will be a little late today - round 2 of Super Gas was ugly, with a crash (nobody hurt) and then a big oildown in the very next pair. With Daylight Savings Time and good weather, they should still finish this evening, but it will be later than expected. They just finished round 2 for everything except Comp, Top Sportsman and Top Dragster, which are ready for semifinals.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Thanks for the update Larry.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

how can you have an oil down if you have a diaper????????

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Transmission? Engine (catastrophic),or both?

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Round 3 stock winners-
Strickland & Hairrington
Fletcher Truman

D Skillman Shipp
Longhany Cassels

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

That Longhany is quite the racer, tough competitor!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

It was Jeff Hairrington over Jeff Longhany in Stock.


Mark Nowicki won Super Stock. Not sure who ran it up. We left to go to dinner before it was all over.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Thanks for the report. I'm sure everyone appreciates your great efforts.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Thanks guys! Mr. Larry we need you in a SS so we can get the full report! I will talk to Big Boy about this! Lol

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Everything's posted. Whew! The Super Stock final was a whisker-thin battle between two heavyweights with Nowicki coming out on top over Byron Worner by about 14 inches.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

I'm thinking Jeff might take up residence in Florida.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Jeff is on a good roll, a 90+ points adv. for three races. That's the stuff most of us dream about, and the car is Fast.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Hi Patsy, would you show this to Larry?

Thanks,Billy See you Wednesday!

Down south we would call that a pirogue sha!!

Billy, I almost fell out of my chair, so funny!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Hey Billy, thanks I will show them to Larry and probably order some when we get home! People think that was all a joke, but Billy had on some Converse tennis shoes here the other day and he and Larry were talking about Larry liking them but couldn't find them to fit. So thanks, now I know where to find them.


Well today has been a general maintenance day here at the track. It has been 80s and beautiful all day. Joe Tysinger and Alice fixed breakfast this morning and it was wonderful (even the grits)! Then I cleaned up the motorhome and Larry changed oil in the generator. Then this evening we tried out the restaurant that Grant Lewis recommended--The Blue Water Bay Restaurant in Melrose, FL. It was good, but for seafood, I still like Cedar River the best.


I talked to Paula Cotten this afternoon and she was in great spirits. She sounded great, but sounds like she still has a long way to full recovery. The great thing is that she can still get back to 100%, but it is just going to take time. Hopefully we will see them by Indy time.


I have a few pics from yesterday:

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

It looks the counts for the Gators have fallen to 71 stockers and 58 super stockers. I guess the ones that aren't already here have been frightened off by the forecast. Or they still can't get out from up North. The forecast on rain keeps going back and forth. Right now it is calling for 80% chance of rain on Thurs., but only 20% each of the days the rest of the week. It is calling for 88 tomorrow and 80s the rest of the week.


They start parking the rest of the rigs tomorrow although there did not appear to be very many rigs lined up right now. Then we have tech on Wed.


More later.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Cheers to our pit hostess and "live from" roving reporter, the charismatic Patsy Hill!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Mr. Larry, and Ms. Patsy,

We appreciate all you do.
Terri and I found another Great Seafood place while we were at the 1st Division race at Gainesville, and meant to make sure we stopped and told you both. It is Wahoo Seafood out at I-75 & CR222 at Ext #390. We ate there during both Division races as well as Cedar River. You need to go there while you are still in town.
We will not be running the Gators this year. Just to much going on, building a new shop, then starting on a new home.

Good Luck
Keith

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

If you like pizza and pasta another well kept secret of a bunch of us "local" S/SS racers is Leonardo's Pizza right across from the downtown Holiday Inn at University Blvd. The pizza is the best and the local color is just a good. If you go you will keep going back every time you come back to G-ville. Jim

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

I was in the water box when that all happend. He apparently has some serious crank case pressure problems because it blew his oil filler cap off and blew oil out of the valve cover so badly that it took 30 to 45 min to clean. I also heard that that is the 2nd time that has happened. Looks like he needs to fix his mechanical problem and get a screw in filler cap

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

HAY Jim what about "Hogan's Heros" on 13st, good as I remember always went there.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Does anyone know if they are running class at the Gators on Thurs or Fri?

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

http://www.nhra.net/2015/images/NHRA...duleGF2015.pdf

Thursday - two hits, then class.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Stock was full up till 5 minutes before noon. I would have gladly taken a spot but I done headed my truck north.
You would think the ones bailed at last second would be more considerate. It's not like the weather changed Monday morning.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Thank you very much. I'm there on Thurs!
