Beautiful day in St. Louis, but boy is it cold. When I ran the air about 11:00 it was 48, with an adjusted altitude of -399'. There were 32 stock/superstock combo cars that went down and only 5 Top Stock cars. Jeremy Duncan was the quickest Top Stock car at 10.43, but Danny Bird went a 10.71 at 103 mph. We were out of gas and had to buy Sunoco here, and went didn't go too well--10.70 at 120. Jerry Newsome had something go wrong off the line, so he didn't get a good run. Fred Suiter went 10.46 at 123.

In Combo, Brad Van Lant about crashed on the starting line as did GTA I think they said Stealy was the name. Stealy crossed the center line. It looked like they were leaving and then got into something. All this was in the right lane as was Newsome.

This is who is here in the order they went down the track as I understood the names. BTW, I don't hear real well. Been around these race cars too long!
Dyer, Summers, Pricen, Stealy, Schaeter, Fred Suiter, Buth, Duckett, Randall, Wizenfel, Greening, Wimmer, Rowe, Morgan, Jamie Greening, Shaw, Kevin Suiter, Hodge, Hanlon, Omalley, Beeler, Sturgell, Schaeter, Harrision, Hollingsfield, Brown, Murphy, Simpson, VanLant, Harrison, Owens, Buth.

Frank, I talked with Lavollo this morning and he said he has his car up for sale and is not going to race it. He said it is listed with Gateway something or other and he has just lowered the price. I will tell him you said hello when I see him again. I've been sitting inside since it is pretty cold and windy outside.

If you are here in St. Louis come by and see us. We are at the end of the row across from the Top Fuel concession stand.

I will see if they have posted a qualifying sheet and let you know how everyone is going.

More later.
