Live from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
We are finally at the racetrack after 9 months of no racing. As Larry said this afternoon on the drive here, "We could of had a baby since we have been racing". What an awful thought for 2 people 61 years old! There are quite a few here taking advantage of test n tune today. We have a good parking space down by the river next to the McFarlands. We just made an easy pass down the track and it seems to be real rich, so Larry is working on it now. I will update more later after I make the rounds to see who all is here!

Well we made it down the track. Ran 10.57 in B/SA. People seen: Caleb and Brett McFarland, Jimmy Bridges, Thomas Arnett, Amy Faulk, George Cox, Gerald Nivans, Wade Owens, Danny Byrd, Mark Poole, Paul Adams. Met a new guy from Washington, IN in A/SA Challenger. Seemed like a nice guy. More later.

Re: Live from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Well we went 10.57 @ 124 this morning. Air was 2119'. Got towed back. Broke something, but I think he is getting it fixed. We had 76 cars in stock. Took a few pics. Will post later. Dave Walther is # 1 qualifier, I think @ 1.14 under.

Re: Live from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Got it fixed. Just ran 10.62, but the air was worse. I was wrong about #1. It was Bo Butner at 1.09 under. Walther's run something was wrong with the clocks. There are 44 superstockers. It should be fun tonight running in the Nitro Plate Combo race for $5000. It seems to be a real good turnout here today, including bracket cars and Jegs Super Quick, and Jr. Dragsters. More later.

Re: Live from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Sorry guys about being so long about posting. It's been a long day. There were 98 cars in the Combo race tonight. We got thru the first round, but got beat the 2nd. It is still going on now.
Fed 427 (Richard Lyon) gave me some pics to post, but it may be tomorrow, before I get to them. The weather has been really nice all day. Air was 2300-2500 most of the day. Jamie- Summers ran 12.16 107 1st round, but something happened on the 2nd. I had it marked just as a bad run, I don't remember just what happened. |

Re: Live from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Well it is a beautiful day here in BG. Hot though! It is already 85 degrees. We just ran 1st round and got beat, so we will be headed home shortly. The air was about 2300', but there is a 14 mph headwind off and on. Dialing was a little tricky. But we just got beat. Mark Poole got us on the tree and at the other end, too. I will post more of the pictures later.

Re: Live from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open

Great pics !
Thanks for posting. |
Re: Live from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Larry, I enjoyed meeting Patsy and thanks for the pictures! We came down Friday night to look you up and meet you but your trailer was closed up and everyone gone. I spent most of my time this weekend trying to solve all of the new car bugs but at least nothing broke, lol. My wife taped your Cuda during qualifying, I'll try to email the clip to you this week. If you are going to Joliet I'll see you there. Take care.

Re: Live from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Dan, it was nice meeting you and your wife this weekend. I think we were over at Kenny Faulk's listening to stories when ya'll came down. Hopefully we can get together at Joliet in a couple of weeks.
Hey, does anyone know who won Stock and Superstock? Drag Race Central has the Nitro Plate Combo results listed as well as the qualifying sheets. I know they are a lot easier to read than my photos of the sheets! |
