"Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
We are on our way! We have our granddaughters Aubrey and Reagan with us and their Mom and Dad are coming up tonight after work. Hopefully we will be able to get a spot in the shade. 90's forecast for all 3 days! I will post more when we get there.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Looks like it is going to be a great weekend for racing. Lots of people here, but still lots of parking left. We have a great spot with a tree. Larry trimmed on the tree for about an hour, but now it looks really nice and doesn't have a lot of little limbs sticking out from the bottom. We start time trials at 10 in the morning. I will try to get some pics tomorrow.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Well we should be running the Nitroplate combo race for $5000 in an hour or so. It is 96 degrees in the shade! When we got here yesterday, we parked by a tree since it was going to be so hot. Then all afternoon we kept smelling this awful smell, like someone had dumped their gray water or gas or something. We finally determined that the smell was coming from the tree. Then Jeremy Duncan came by this morning and said "Oh, you are parked by the Kaboom tree". I didn't know what he was talking about until he explained that there is a gas line leak in the tree. And sure enough, there is. So if you come by our pits, Please don't smoke! You many blow us up! Oh it is a good thing that they are not calling for any lightning this weekend. I can't imagine lightning hitting the tree! So anyway, here are a few pics from today. Notice all the ez-ups! Everyone is trying to stay cool.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Post a picture of the qualifing sheets.
thanks conway |
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Conway, sorry, but they haven't posted any qualifying sheets. There were 90 something in the combo race. I stopped taking times after Mike McDonald beat Larry in a double breakout race. Lots of breakouts in the combo race. It was still 95, but the sun was going down a little so I guess the track was a little cooler. One casualty during the combo race was Tommy Mattingly. By the looks of the smoke, it looked like he blew up an engine.

We are down to 9 cars. We had a bye in the 3rd round and now have to run our neighbor Jerry Bennett in the 4th round. At least there will be a representative from Hickory, KY in the 5th round! It is still hot and humid!

Well Jerry has bragging rights at Sonny's in the morning for breakfast! In the semis it is Jerry and Mark Poole and Chuck Belanger with the bye. Sorry, but I don't know who is left in superstock. It was too hot to even go back up and watch.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
as always great thread, thanks for the time you spend on this stuff ... we think larry won the wife lottery !!!
captain jack p.s. i redlighted to mark poole, not sure who gave one to wade !! |
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
That red light against Wade O would be my responsibility...I wasnt going to claim it Jack but since you disclaimed it I figured I might as well take ownership.
Thanks Larry and Patsy for the live feeds, they really are great to help me follow whether I am at the track or on the couch at home. I was even checking it this weekend and I was there... |
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open
Sorry about the mistakes on the red-lights! Please correct me anytime I screw up!! Glad ya'll enjoy the posts and pics! We will see you all in a couple of weeks at the Joliet divisional! And hopefully it won't be as hot as it was in Bowling Green or as cold as it was at Indy! I would love to be able to just sit outside the motorhome and enjoy our friends and a few adult beverages in the evening!
See ya'll soon! Patsy |
