"Live" from Earlville, IA 2017
 

The divisional is not until next weekend, but this weekend there is a Combo race for $4000. So after we got beat at Indy yesterday, we loaded up and headed to Iowa a couple of days early!

They finished up yesterday's race this morning after some delays for rain ran into darkness last night about the time we arrived here! Randy Mans beat Mike Lund to win the $4000 for yesterday 's race with $2000 for the runner up.

We have had our qualifying run and will be into round 1 shortly

More later!

Dennis Lund over Randy Shepard in today's final.

Re: "Live" from Earlville, IA 2017
 

Earlville is, as usual, one of the friendliest places you will ever race! We moved over to the campground yesterday to stay until Wed, then back to the track. Actually the track and campground are connected and you can go back and forth!

Today we are going to a local picnic at New Vienna which I understand is close to here. Suppose to have awesome food and y'all know how we are about good food! Lol

Patsy,
Do you know how many Indy refugees traveled to Earlville?

Re: "Live" from Earlville, IA 2017
 

If you are baseball fans Dyersville is real close. That's where they filmed the move "Field of Dreams". We visited it earlier this summer when we raced at Earlville.

It has been a slow, lazy day here today. It started out a little chilly at 42 degrees this morning! But then it warmed up to the 60s and has been really nice. We moved out of the campground and are all set up in about the middle of the pits. People have slowly been moving in today. Dick Lux is the latest that we have seen.

Here are a few pics:
