Live From Phoenix
 

We're in the stacking line at last. Arrived at 6.45 am this morning after spending a relaxing week at an RV park south of the track to find probably 50 or more rigs there ahead of us. Looks like when all is said and done we're about 75th in line as they are not handing out numbers. We're supposed to start pitting tomorrow about 9 or 10 AM. Time to spend a relaxing day visiting with all our racer friends.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Good luck to all this weekend, especially those from up here. I hope the weather is great and the racing is close with lots of Division 6 guys in the finals of many catagories.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

In and pitted. Took a while but Redman did his usual good job of making sure everyone got the pit spots they wanted. Teching tomorrow and racing on Friday. After sitting in an RV park for a week it will be good to get back racing. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Speaking for only myself here, Bob...while everyone else is debating the finer points of NHRA vs Street Inlaws, I'm wishing I was in sunny AZ lounging in the pits instead of thrashing on my car in 11.3*F Nebraska! Have fun!

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Made it thru tech today. And other than normal maintenance not much happening. Almost 80 here now. This morning was a pretty good barometer for here. 29.01. If it stays like this it should make for some fast runs tommorow morning. Relax tonite with friends doing a barbeque and a few wobbly pops.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Have a great time, and good luck!


Sitting in my garage working on the Wagon, and I really appreciate your updates!

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Round one in stock and super stock in the books. Above average conditions about a tenth behind Pomona. On my run T59.9 28.72BP 51.2%H 1222 DA. Second qualifying in stock next up after super gas.

It's a shame that things like that happen. I guess that the world is NOT what it used to be. A few spoil the fun of many. Anyway, good luck to all from up here in the Northwest.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Another day in the books. Long day. I'm lucky enough to be racing tomorrow. I guess my second under run was worth it getting a second round bye. Changed the shocks on Charlene's car today. Sliced the crap out of a finger doing it. Lucky not on my shifting hand! LOL. Time for a cold beer.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Or two....... and thanks for the update.

Re: Live From Phoenix

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Ron, if you leave now, you can make the Divisional. :D

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

First qualifying run for stock is done at the divisional race. It looks to be about 3 hundredths slower than the national. The BP is 29.53, 54.4T, 41%H 1550DA. We get 2 rounds of qualifying today and are scheduled for one tomorrow morning but that could change due to rain in the forecast.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Have they announced any plans to go into 1st round @8am Saturday morning and run the entire race Saturday?? trying to beat the rain or are they going to wait until it rains to make a decision??

I'm planning on showing up in the AM and want to know if I might be racing with no time runs?

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Just got word there will be no qualifying pass in the morning. 1st round out of the gates in the morning. Should be 65 cars if me and Mark are the only 2 showing up Saturday morning

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

It's confirmed. First round tommorow morning. All late comers wil be put on the ladder and super street is up first.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Wann vs Defrank in stock.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Did Andy Durham win SS? Anybody out there?

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Andy Durham over Mike Graham in SS and Jimmy Defrank over Steve Wann in stock.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Stevie must have been late.....that 413 repeats like a swiss watch.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Jimmy had four hundredths on the tree. took the stripe by two.

All the rounds are now posted on DRC.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Jimmy is very very tough to beat on your best day!!

My understanding is Steve unfortunately got pretty
sick before the final was run.

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

That race could've been run on Sunday, as the rain those so-called weather forecasters predicted didn't hit Phoenix until Monday. I wish I got paid what those folks make for the frequent mis-calculations they make in their weather predictions. They would be better off giving us the news on current and nearly actual conditions instead of far reaching predictions. My .02 worth

Re: Live From Phoenix
 

Every race should be run on the Saturday.
