LIVE from IHRA World Finals at Memphis
3 Attachment(s)
Well, after a long but relatively easy drive of about 11 hrs with all the stops for food and fuel. Ran into a 10 mile stretch of construction not far from Columbus which took awhile to crawl through, but after that it was pretty clear sailing even through Cincy, Louisville, and Nashville.
I got a call from Terry Knott, who owns the Dart Sport I qualified for the Tournament of Champions with. It's developed a miss, and they haven't been able to diagnose it yet. He's working on it, but there's that possibility that he won't be able to make it this weekend. In the event of that worst case scenario, if someone is running Stock this weekend in the Sportsman Spectacular that's not in the TOC, and you'd like a shot at making some money, I may be available. Fingers crossed that he can get the Dart fixed, but can't hurt to have a backup plan. Rolled into the track a little after 9 Eastern. Got back an hour with the time change of course! They had a few sprinkles today which cancelled the test and tune and ledt a few puddles here and there, but the ground seems solid in those few areas that aren't paved. Myron reported some preliminary weather readings better than 400' DA. Humid tonight, making the temps in the 50's feel warmer than it is. Didn't even have to don my jacket while unloading. Weather should be interesting over the course of the weekend, with projected shifts in wind direction and a Saturday spike in temps up to the mid 80's before falling back into the low 70's for Sunday. I'll report in as I can, although it may be a very busy weekend shoeing (hopefully!) two cars. |

The "Live Timing" is awesome.
Congrats to IHRA for doing this. They care about the sportsman guys and those of us not there. Whats the matter with "the other guys" ? Too cheap to do it??? FJ |
