“Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Well of course we are not there yet, but leaving shortly! We have been having motor home issues so I hope we make it there! We had to withdraw from the national last week but the part got here so I hope that was all it was!

Looks like they are expecting lots of racers this week! It could very well be a qualified field of 128!

Anybody who is there feel free to join in and let us know what is happening!

More later!

We got here and parked going on 8:00 PM. We have a really nice spot in the oval track in the grass but the cars will be on the pavement. Life is good. Jimmy, “The County Dog”, fed us last night with crawfish stew and it was great.
On a good note Dumbo stayed put and did not wonder around inside the trailer. Thanks again Glenn for the turnbuckle suggestion. Test and tune day for us, I have so much to learn about the new cars. One step at a time.

It should be a great race week for the double points race!

So if you’re sitting on the fence about racing this weekend come on out. It should be fast and the weather will chamber of commerce weather.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Yea Pasty thats the problem ,you said FAST and loose cannons running around, can hurt peoples indexes , before the DUMB rule kicks next year, they just hurt Stock and SS racing. Good luck. Brian

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Rigs just keep rolling on in!! I think they are parking until 11 tonight. We made a couple of runs today and are in line to get a final run. Weather has been beautiful all day and as the sun is going down it is cooling off a bit. I have seen cars here from every division except 6 and 7 and I think they have a race out there this weekend too!

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

We have never seen St Louis with this many racers, it could be a qualified field in Stock. I hope it’s a full field and no DNQ’s. It could be a repeat of the last weeks finals with Chris and Cooter present. Test and tune for me was good. We found a few areas of improvement and got rid of a few gremlins. The track for Dumbo was good but we found out that elephants are big and strong but it’s a challenge to get them to 60 ft.

Super Street out first at 8:00 AM with the regular order to follow

Sometimes your competition chooses another place to spent time and money and they sell the car that is Bullet Fast and is in the class that I like to race. Such is the case with this gorgeous ‘70 402 Nova from the Kerr team. So we are happy that it’s gone to a new owner. Long story short the gentleman racer that parked next to us yesterday lowers his tailgate and there’s that darn Nova. I’m sure glad we fixed Dumbo.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Alan announced this morning that there are 710 cars entered with 160 of those being Stockers! Super Street is running now! It is a cool morNot my but 82 this afternoon! Well they have called us!

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

No sound coming from NHRA-TV - guess I'll have to work until it comes back on ....

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Geez,Louise……160 stockers. There are going to be some DISAPPOINTED racers that spent $$ on fuel, lodging ,and entry fees, AND won’t get to race. This will also AFFECT the D3 stock championship points battle. WOW…. Is all that I can say…

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Amazing turnout, time to guess what it will take, I’ll throw .77 under out there.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Is anyone watching NHRA.TV ? on My monitor there is a picture with in a picture how do I get rid of that I have tried to click it off but that does not work ok I know I wish I was there but too busy Turned off watching NHRA.TV

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

I'll guess .803. I don't see it going mineshaft.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

With the low National Event quotas this may become the new normal to gather grade points?

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Stock sheet is on. Y Facebook

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Didnt see anything on DRC

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Go to Midwest Class Racers on face book, the have the stock sheet up. 151 cars wow.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Well, there were not 160 stockers on the sheet. After Q 2, 3 of the TopTen stock racers in D3 are NOT QUALIFIED. I would bet that was the FARTHEST thought from their mind when they pulled through the gates. Keep in mind that alternates that get into the field DO NOT earn Lucas points………just one MORE reason why stock eliminator racing is not ( ) racing …..

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

We did not get in for race one. Have not DNQ since Memphis with a 383 in the Cuda running G/SA. And guess what it still stings.
Congratulations to all that made the show.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

What's the bump how far Under. ???

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Marlene Nelson, one - half of the Amazing Minnesota Twins is on the bump at -.632 under. …. there is a cleanup scheduled for this evening …

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

My first national event at the Summernationals at Englishtown we failed to qualify and I can't remember by how much. I will never forget the kindness of Alan Peters to come over to our trailer to console me because he knew I was bummed out.
My icons when I was racing were Jerry Stein, David LeBrun, Alan Peters, Bill Ceralli and most of all Jimmy Lovallo.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Any idea on how many stockers will be in clean up run?

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

My only DNQ was at the 94 Keysones, 155 Stockers for class entered, 151 on the sheet, I was 131. I waited as an alternate and they took 129 and 130 but I sat there, yeah, I remember it well, ha.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

147 cars for Q1. …..156 for Q2 ….that would be nine cars PLUS any late arrivals …..…. At position number 121, I believe Anne is safe …….I will be watching Steven Dziorny. He is number two in D3 BUT currently not qualified …..

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

May be mute point. Just had a SG crash.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

The only ones getting clean up runs are if you have had 0 runs!

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

If that ends up being true,it should be a good lesson for a few of those guys that shut it off trying to play the ladder.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

I just heard two cars will run the cleanup in Stock.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

How about a picture of Q 2 Stock, for the people with out Face Book. Thanks

NHRA Divisional Live Timing
Top of C/R home page...NHRA Competition icon,...Top of the page that opens..Hopefully you can navigate from there ;-)

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Just saw a few head up for clean up run that made Q2.

Update…just heard if anyone has not made 2 runs they can run again in clean up.
Weather has changed and it’s almost midnight! Not same conditions=not fair!

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

First round will be fun to watch. Only two heads up runs A/SA and J/S. After throwing in the points chase folks we should some edge of the seat spectating.

Today I will be trying to find why Dumbo wants to hiccup at the worst possible time.

All in all it will be a great day of racing! Good luck to all.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Years and years of racing can damage your ears. Upon returning to Minnesota , I recommend getting your hearing checked out. LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Ladder

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Amazing turnout! Hopefully other Division Directors are paying attention. Here in Division 2 we are light with only six in division and we lost Atlanta. Double LODRS are obviously very popular, especially late in the year. If memory serves me due to a rain out Virginia had a double last year that was packed.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Round 1 is still going on! Long clean up for Ron Feist bolden up engine. Hannah Line hit wall at big end but they said she is ok.

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

I happened to be talking to a Stock racer who was awaiting the ladder, and he told me that they were waiting for two cars to run the cleanup before they could post it.

Someone asked here how many, so I thought I’d be helpful and relay what I was told. Lesson learned!

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Don't forget Indy 2008....

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

So here's my take on 156 stockers tune them up. you wonder why my brother and I make our cars run real fast. never have to worry about qualifying. this is an amazing showing for sportsman racers. good luck to all those who made it and hopefully those that did not can pick up some tomorrow

Re: “Live “ from St Louis D3 double divisional
 

Just yanking your chain Lenny,…..I really appreciate all the input you bring to Class Racer ….
