I just went down and talked to Jim Hale who is parked next to the Buckners. This wasn't a towing accident. They were in a car or truck. Jim said that he had heard that nothing is life threatening, but they are all banged up pretty good. When I hear more, or Charlie, if you hear from Austin let us know how they are doing. I talked to him this afternoon and he was telling me the story about Dallas. He was still fired up about that.

On to a different subject--It cost $150 to enter plus $50 to test today. Other divisions have a 3 day points race for the same amount of money. Then a crew ticket was $50. In reading in the dragster, a 2-day spectator ticket was $30, then spectator today $10. So if you got a crew ticket it cost $10 more. That is really treating the racer well, isn't it. So anyway, I am a spectator this weekend. Oh you have to get to the 5th round to get back your entry fee. I know we don't do this to make any money, but this is really sad. 3rd round gets $100, 4th is $125, and 5th is $150.

On another note--Last weekend Al and Bev Provoast came by to visit for a while. They look great as usual. Al worked hard all day Saturday and Sunday helping Larry get the Dana put in the Cuda. At 77 years old, he had Larry wore out trying to keep up with him! They went on to Indy this weekend to see all their old division 3 friends. It was really grreat to see them.

Well, we finally got to make a pass. At least the Dana didn't slow us down!

More later.
