"Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
Good Morning!!

We are not there yet, but there is a line waiting to get in. According to the schedule, the gates open at noon. We may get a little rain over the weekend, but it wouldn't be Bowling Green without a little rain! I will post more after we get there and anyone who is there, feel free to jump in!

hope to see you there!!

At 11 30 am this morning Dallas Jones and co. welcomed us into beautiful Beech Bend Raceway Park. Although the hurricane may have its say about the weather forecast, at 3 pm it was 88 degrees, 60 percent humidity and 29.51 barometer, and 118.5 water grains. A correction factor of 1..0709....3210 feet adjusted altitude...As rigs were filing in the skies opened up later in the afternoon. Tomorrow the track is scheduled to hold a T and T, weather permitting of course. I believe through the next few days the 2020 edition of the BG points meet will be anything but NORMAL......

It is already hot and humid this morning. Test and tune is moved up to 11 am. Should be starting soon. Forecast for today is good but looks like remnants of Laura will be coming thru tomorrow .

Not on T&T days.
Warren's original schedule calls for Friday thru Sunday coverage

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
The T and T was completed without any interruptions from MOTHER NATURE. Just a few minutes ago at 5 30 pm my weather station showed 90 degrees, 62 percent humidity, 29.42 baro, correction factor of 1.0771. The adjusted altitude was 3434 feet. ...129 water grains... WOW....just another lovely August day in Bowling Green, Ky. The track remained good for the entire T and T as Brock and crew would rosin and dress the track as needed? There were FOUR V/SA cars participating in the T and T........1 AMC and 3 Chevy s......Unfortunately, tomorrows forecast contains the remnants of hurricane Laura .....time will tell if we see the track or not.....

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
We start out in the morning at 8 with super street, then stock. Maybe everyone will get at least one run before the rain hits!!

Larry Hill 08-28-2020 06:35 AM

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
Dallas and crew did a great job on test and tune. I only spun once, hey it’s test and tune and I was seeing what the track would hold. I found out. Beach Bend has to be one of the better places to race in the country. Today everyone is racing to get two Q runs in before the weather gets here.

Un-like Indy I did not see any lawnmowers being used. The scales were open and repeated run to run.

Larry Hill 08-28-2020 07:48 AM

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
And then the rain came.

The track is about dry just working on shutdown area now. Looks like we have a few hours before the rains really hit! Hopefully we will get our 2 runs in today!!

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
Well it came a gulley washer this afternoon! They were running top dragster so that is what we start out with in the morning. Supposed to start at 9 I think. Everyone to get another run tomorrow then into eliminations. Looks like we can still have rain again so that schedule may not happen.

More later!

If there is anyone here that knows anything about air conditioners on motorhomes, could you come by and see us? Brand new and it stopped cooling! Thanks!!

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
Larry did it freeze up? The humidity has iced up the ac on my truck a few times I turn it off let it thaw and then it works fine.

Larry we had the same problem with a new Renagade at
Columbus. Our problem is with the power protection module.
It would switch back to battery inventor source.The generator
Would still be running. The AC will not run on battery source.
Shut down the generator and start back up.
We would have a power fault on the control center also.
We have new protection module to install but haven't done it
Let.

Hope this will give you a temp fix on your problem

Did the cars in Stock and Super Stock that were " DNQ" get OK'd to compete? or is it as the ladder is , after 1st qualifier?

jmcarter 08-29-2020 12:48 PM

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
Someone post the ladder please? No live timing for D3, bummer....but thanks to Warren and Unk (and of course this weekend’s primary sponsor, the Bo Butner auto group).

Is it still running or stopped all together. Could be the run capacitor for the compressor gone bad.

Thanks for the shout out but it is my "Executive Producer" Jay Hullinger taking care of dragracer.tv this weekend while I'm at home for my daughter's wedding this weekend.

It's been down since the last S/ST pair. I've been waiting for stock to see Larry Hill is going to do this weekend.

Bill Mitchell 08-29-2020 03:53 PM

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
Same here in northern Missouri.

Marty Rinehart Jr 08-29-2020 04:11 PM

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
SST and Stock first rounds completed, raining again, Super Comp sent back to trailers. And by the way.
Internet at Bowling Green knocked out by car hitting pole away from track.
Internet is down.

It is interesting, Dragracer TV is back up, NHRA TV is not. They are drying the track.. so must plan on racing again today.

That did not last long. I assume they didn't bother with live timing since they had TV coverage???

Larry Hill 08-29-2020 06:34 PM

Re: "Live" from Beech Bend 2020 divisional
 
Well we have had a bad day! Started off with new ac not getting cold this morning. Larry finally has it figured out what is wrong, but during that process, invertor got turned off and now have to get it back up and running!! And generator wouldn’t work. The truck had been idling , then it quit and didn’t want to start. Got beat first round and now on our way home to get everything fixed and hopefully make it to Indy on Tues.

First round was crazy. Evidently there were no shows that had pre-entered and they put them all at the bottom of the sheets along with the dqs from yesterday. So there were singles first round. They said all of those got a grade point but were n shows. This is all rumors. But there were singles! Maybe an official wlll get on here with an Explanation
