Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

Just curious if anyone is planning on reporting on whats happening north of the border out here in Div.6 this weekend. Thanks for any info,, wish I could've made it up there.

I am not sure if anyone is going to report from Mission. James Boyce said his phone doesn't work up there so he is out. Bob and Charlene Gullett's stuff is down south. They are running Division 7 this year. Don't think they will be there without cars. Other than those 2 reporters, I don't know of anyone who might step up. Makes it tough, but we will survive.

Hang in there Ron,,, have faith. Tom P sometimes is there as is Mr. Nolan,, Rory among others,, possibly Maurice,, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Won`t be me Danny, I have to work Friday and Saturday, will go back Sunday though. Went out for a few hours today (Thurs), as Bob Frey used to call it, weather was "Chamber of Comerce" beautiful, supposed to get hotter for the weekend, with no chance of rain.
Between Bremerton last weekend, and Pacific next weekend,(both "double headers") I don`t really mind being a spectator this Sunday.

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

I hear you, Rory. Don't work too hard. Sorry I didn't see you when I drifted through your end of the pits last Sunday. I've got another commitment or I'd be at Mission right now. Take care and I'll catch up with you later in the season.

Stock to the lanes!!

I will try to post as much as I can.....

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

Thanks Derrick for the info. Any info that can be sent will be great. I understand it is hard to race and report. Is DRC there or will the results be posted at the end of the day?? Looks like the weather will be hot, so no super quick runs that Mission is famous for. Is there a really good car count?

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

Danny…I'm busy working all weekend also. Going to try and sneak out to Mission Saturday late in the day. Weather is forecasted as being B.C. Beautiful and HOT, so hopefully they have good fan attendance. I worked out that way on Tuesday and seen a fair amount of trailers heading there. MB.

I was there, quite warm and fairly low turnout. Not the glory days or 10 to 15 years ago with a dozen or more SS Hemis and scads of record seeking Stockers...



Here's a few pix...

I didn't see the Q sheets for third pass but after second i think it was 26 Stock and 25 SS. Just three alky funny cars though, empty acreage in their pit area.

Rick McKinney was listed #1 at 1.85 under in SS/PA... he is running LA so i'd guess they will amend that. I think Jim Isherwood was #2 in SS/DA at 9.21, good to see him back out there.
Pete Kost was #1 in Stock at 1.02 under.

It is on Drag Race Central now

They show only 4 alky diggers, there were six one never even got to the burnout box, one was shut off on the line, one pair both stopped on the track and one smoked hard at the hit. Just one full pass. You expect that with those cars but first session of Super Stock was just like that too.

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

Yes, it's very good to see Jim out there and running very well. Pete Kost was 1.02 at the combo race at Pacific last weekend, also. Not bad for a guy who will turn 82 on his next birthday, September 4th, I believe.


Looks like a low turnout in all classes. Thanks Tom P. for the info and pictures, especially Barcelon's Nova interior shot. There is a very nice article about his Nova in the latest issue of Drag Racer magazine that is out now. (July 2015 issue)

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

Thanks to all of our "Live From" reporters,,, I knew someone would come through. Its all appreciated very much by me and others that can't be there this weekend.

I always ":watch" this one..
shoulda' been there

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

Dave has a beautiful Nova!

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

I am not there today so we need to rely on other eyewitness reports.

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

Really hot for June in Mission!

Final qualifying sheet and ladder are on DRC.

Low car counts in all classes, surprising.....

Re: Anybody "Live from" Mission?
 

You're right, Ed. That car is a work of art,, and pretty fast. Hows your car doing? Last time I saw it was at Columbus at the SS/K shootout, where you had more than your share of problems. I hope things got smoothed out for you and its going better for you.

After major back surgery(I've been out of work for 7 weeks so far) the surgeon said I wont be doing any racing until next season. He said 8-12 months. My Chevy II will be for sale pretty soon. As soon as we get it back together and show what it can do it will be on the market. Ed

Way to go Jody. Guess you haven't lost that ride to Martha - Yet. Good luck the rest of this year.
