Racing starts tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock with Super Street out first followed by Stock. The weather forecast shows a risk of rain starting tomorrow morning throughout the early afternoon.

It may be difficult to report from the track since the signal there is extremely weak.

Hi all,

I love this track it's smooth as glass, uphill shutdown, downhill return road and downhill staging lanes.............

The only other thing that I would want was it be closer to my home.....

Happy racing to all,
Bob

PS:
I almost forgot the best thing which is the chocolate chip cookies at the time slip booth

Hi,

I have a question.................

I just went to the Lucas Live Timing site to check on Super Stock qualifying and they only had 20 cars listed......

Is it a very bad turn out or a problem live timing?????????????????

Thanx,
Bob

Unique burn out box at Earlville.Screen first to clean your tires.Then a wet metal surface to get them moist.Then the burn out surface itself. Works well.

my last trip out there i went to Dyersville and filled the lounge up with model kits from the AMT store. went to fields of dream, had to show my drivers license cause nobody would believe i had the same name as "shoe less" lol
Tri State is a great place to go to, if you have not been there, its got to be on your "bucket list".
