"Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Hi Guys! Well we are not there yet! There is an issue with one of the airbags on the motorhome! At least we haven't left home yet! Larry has gone to pick up another so we are way late getting on the road! Our plan was to leave early this morning, so we could get parked today and test tomorrow. But there is always something! So anyway, yall jump in and let us know what is happening there!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Thanks for the info! Looks like we will be sitting in stacking tonight! We won’t be there until about 11:30!

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

After hitting some construction last night, we got in line about midnight! There were maybe 10 rigs ahead of us and they started pulling us in before 7! We were parked by 7:15! All sportsmen are anywhere in the grass. We have a pretty good spot that has rock under the grass! So now for some test and tune! Looks like it is going to be a good turnout!

More later!

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Hey guys, the rigs are still rolling in, but not many cars out. I did find a few photos for you all. Testing started about 30 minutes ago. Its warm, in the mid 80's

I hope to get a in car video of Robin Lawrence in his stick Cobra Jet later today.

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023

Well we made it through the first round of class with a good race against Wes Leopold in Jim Boburka’s car !!

A little comment about the track. They never did touch up starting line through 119 stockers! Some spun badly!

And the speakers barely can be heard in the stands!

And radio works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t!

For this type of race, this shouldn’t happen!

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Patsy, that is precisely why Libby and I are not there.

Wednesday morning super stock qualifying.

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Watching the internet feed and super stockers were spinning. Starting line crew walks out, slaps the mops around, and sends the next pair spinning. Missing Redman!

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Good morning everyone, Super Street is out at 8am with their first round, followed by Stock. I do have more videos to post, but had to work on the car, having a few issues. After first round I will tried to post them, but I will get it done for tonight for sure.

It warmer this morning than yesterday, dials might be a little off... be back later.

Thanks Doug for stepping in... photos look awesome.

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023

A quick look at Robin Lawrence's 2013 N/A Cobra Jet with a 5 speed, got to love the stick cars.

Class final, Super Stock. Robin Lawrence vs Mike Fuller. Auto vs Stick. Robin gets the win, Mike spun hard.

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

A PA fix would be in order but it’s a minor problem. The great part is 120 stockers and 117 SS cars, plus the unusual Super Street Cars and SG cars. A lot of folks have some really kool ideas on how a race car should look. As always just a bunch of really close races. Dumbo is starting to catch on.
If your on he fence about racing here this weekend, don’t be you’ll have a good time at the Sports.

C’ya!

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Will be out there Fri can't wait to see Dumbo in person !

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Good morning all, day 3, but day 1 for the Division 3 race. We get one qualifier and than we go into eliminations. Weather does not look good for tomorrow, so they will try to get it all done today.

Its cloudy this morning, but over all the weather is the same as the last few days. Da has been 3000 to 4000ft everyday.

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Random note....

During Class elims, I fully appreciate when they are able to run all of a class together. It makes the watching really great when you are able to watch an entire class paired back to back.

Wish they would maintain this at all events.

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

Hope they get the scoreboard working before elimination!!

Re: "Live" from Columbus Jegs Speedweek 2023
 

The staging lane crew did a good job only because racers came when called. Everyone was laddered according to qualifying. The crew sent the cars nose to tail in staging with lane choice up to the drivers. Lane 2 was all A/SA lane 2 B/SA and so forth.
We are parked in the grass on a main thoroughfare and it’s fairly busy with cars and other forms of transportation. In the evening time when things slow down is when the kids get to sit in the parents lap and hold the steering wheel. There face can barely hold the smile it’s so big.
