"Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
Well we are not quite in bowling green yet. We should be there by around eight or so this evening. More after we get there! Can't wait for all the excitement that comes with Bowling Green and getting ready for Indy!

I definitely miss running at Bowling Green. The trip is just right length and track is history. Grandstands are good part of park...

I've been working on mine like a wild man and spending money like I'm drunk. Hoping to get a little faster. And I got derailed by my Pharmacy. They decided to give me a anticoagulant instead of one of my blood pressure medicines. Looks like I'll miss this one. Hopefully I'm cleared to get back at it soon. I was looking forward to it.

Div 3 has decided to open tech a few hours earlier on Thursday. Tech will be in the staging lanes starting at 10 AM.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
We pulled in and parked about 8 tonight. It gets darker earlier now, already dark when we got here. I don't know if they are going to be open all night tonight, but there are lots here already. Looked like the pavement by the river is all full, as is the pavement right across from staging. We are parked in our usual spot next to the Louisiana bunch at the finish line. There is lots of parking in the grass on back here on the right as you come in. The ground seems to be pretty firm, too.
Well, more tomorrow when I can get out and see who all is here!! |
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
It is a beautiful morning here at Beech Bend!! Temp is about 60 going up to 83 later this afternoon. Tech begins in about 35 minutes, then test and tune at noon. With the track only charging $50 to test, I expect to see lots of people getting ready for Indy today.
Off to see who is here! |

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
Big thanks to Marvin Benoit and the entire QuickFuel team for the wonderful Racer Appreciation BBQ tonight, complete with great baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, and beverages!

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
J Allen and his power is the man to beat at Indy. That vette is bad fast!
|
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
We are wondering if the "Bayou Boyz" will get the Voodoo hand book out to protect the LS1 Vett combination.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
Thursday was a good day. Nothing with any new holes in the motor or driveline, cold beer, nice weather, good track, maybe a little weaker down track for some of the TS & TD cars. Great food by Quick Fuel last night. Cool, tables under the trees, nice. J. Allen king of the test n tune. He was looking for 70, don't know if he found it. Lots of cars here, and of course the Famous RED MAN is in the house. I got to get one of them T shirts. I think we can get all 5 in for Indy, now we gotta play slowem down and run rounds. Really lots of good folks here. Gonna be fun.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
Another beautiful day here!! I saw the people here yesterday from Division 3 live tv, so you may try going to Division 3 website and see if you can get it up. We begin with super street at 9, then stock.
More later. And yes, thanks to Quick-Fuel and Beech Bend Park for the great dinner last night! |
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
D3TV is not covering event today! Anyone know of any other coverage for Today? Update Live Timing is up and running now.
|
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
Not till tomorrow,right?

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
D3TV coverage is Tomorrow.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
105 stockers went down the track. A very nice turnout with better than average conditions for Beech Bend. M.J.
|
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
104 stockers made the first run with at least 2 more here than did not go down. Lots of indexes were up wrong, so it may take a while to get a sheet up. Most have slowed down from testing yesterday to have runs to race with. more later.
|
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
Anyone has a qualified list of stock ?
|
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
I won't get my Stocker there until late this afternoon.
Gotta work today. :( |
Re: "Live" from Bowling Green 2015 LODRS Division 3
It's a gang, a gaggle, a bunch. One I think O/sa truck got the award @120.6 under. Middle car is .76 under. No mineshaft yet, but about 6 DQ and the usual 25% in the lower ladder shut off. One more hit today, a clean up, one hit tomorrow and race. SS sheet not out yet. I thought I saw Drew Skillman go 1.22 under in FSS/something or other 10.05 index ran 8.82. SC up now, 2nd sst and then second stock. Fred Henson had a nice FS/B ride. Covered at least 1500 ft. Still went 9.13 I think.
