How about #7 qualifier, Jeff Interlichia, p/sa -1.09.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well we didn't beat DeFrank, but he treed him and the car left like a bear!! I hope someone got a picture. You could sure read the "Showtime" on the front valance.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well, it has been a long day here at the track. We started at 8 this morning and class finished up about an hour ago at 8:30 or so. Noteable in the class finals: in C/SA Chris Mattingly almost hit the wall, then recovered to win. In B/SA Leonard Mattingly lost on a hole shot to Jimmy DeFrank. In A/SA Joey Teuton's car would not start and Keith Lynch won. Congrats to Drew Skillman for beating Bo Butner in the battle of the Mustangs. They should be out of stock on Monday.

Here are a few shots from today:

Well that's all for today. We are out bright and early in the morning at 7:30. More tomorrow.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Surprised by all the lights on both side of green by several accomplished racers....must have been a tough morning with sun on the tree or ? Teuton a no-show?

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Jeff Teuton had a problem with his starter this morning. On our car, Larry had a problem with a wire falling off the 2 step switch. I will try to get pics later today. Had to drown our sorrows in a bloody mary first!

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Sorry to hear about the two-step.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Jim ,I noticed the same thing.
In that case, I always look to see what Peter did...
No problem there...

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well I took a lot of pics this afternoon, but then we started drinking and having a great time with good friends ( which this is all about ) and so I haven't got them uploaded. I will post them tomorrow ( since we aren't racing). And I will try and get more!

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Good news! I was afraid you were loaded and heading home, more pics and news please...need a little more "fix" more getting the snow shovels out! Thanks for your reports, it is appreciated.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

It was a pleasure meeting you both I hope you have a great trip and say hi to Mike and Paula for me. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Larry - I was shooting from DeFrank's side but I got a series of both cars way up. Should be on our web site by mid-week.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Toby got it on video! Jim

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Jeff Tuton had starter problems at Reynolds points meet also..

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Where would I find the video?

Thanks,

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Jeff told me the starters are the "weak link" on the new motors. Jim

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Chris, see Toby's video thread, this should be the one, 7 minutes into it and then it's "showtime".

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well it is another beautiful day here in Vegas! We have been up watching Round 2 and 3 of Stock and Super Stock. DeFrank's stocker has been smoking all week and looked like it finally blew up. Jackie Alley beat Mike Cotten in round 3 and think she needs 1 more round to pass Biondo in SS.

Ya'll should have been here last night. Mike and Paula, Eric Jones and Stephanie, Mike and Chad Loge, Country Dog and Puppy, Jeff Teuton, Jim Bailey and Don (for a little while) all enjoyed a great evening of stories and adult beverages. Someone realized we hadn't eaten anything so Mike went to In n Out Burger and bought burgers and fries and you would have thought we had been smoking dope the way we devoured them. But a good time was had by all!

Here are a few shots from yesterday:

Thought she already passed Biondo and is now the champ...

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

[QUOTE=jmcarter;290408]
Looks like the worst race is a 62 pointer.I think a few more rounds are needed yet.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Sure is great the weather turned out good for you guys.Stay safe!

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

[QUOTE=442OLDS;290409]She needs to win the fifth round or improve at the next 2 races.

Well we have had a relaxing day watching round 2 and 3 and a little of the pros. We start back out at 9 in the morning with stock. More tomorrow.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well it is another beautiful day here in Vegas! I guess that sounds boring by now, but it is really nice. We went up and watched the 4th round of all the sportsmen this morning. I think Jackie Alley passed Peter Biondo in Super Stock points whenever she won her round. Yea!!!

Well we are just enjoying the day. I think Larry is going to clean up the car today and we will watch a little racing. We are looking forward to running the Gamblers Race on Wednesday. $350 to run for $10,000. There are still lots of racers here since the points race is here next weekend. Well, more later.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Mrs. Patsy,

Jackie has to win 5th round to pass Peter. She can also improve on a 3rd round next weekend at the division race.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Peter is still in also but he may not be claiming this race.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Peter has no races left to claim
