LIVE from MIR Pro-Am

Michael Beard · 04-09-2011, 08:27 AM

8:25am 46.4deg 79%, 30.01, -717' DA.

Still damp in spots, announced a 10am start.

Got up at 1:45am to get here. Getting situated... Report after Q1...

Michael Beard · 04-09-2011, 11:28 AM

Got started a little later, as after drying they still ran the jet for awhile to try to get some heat in the track. 51.6deg, 73%, 30.02, -346' DA. Tiny headwind if anything.

Didn't do a very good burnout, and lost a little on the cold track, but even so, the ET wasn't near as good as the you'd think for the conditions. Heard quite a few 11.0-runs out of Hot Rod, so we're the only ones mother nature is fooling.

Bubba said he put weight in the car, and about flipped it over. Still managed a 10.634 @ 123.93 mph. I ran the same as Fayetteville last week with 1000' worse air and a headwind. Go figure.

Already into 8.90 cars...

Q2, did a burnout my momma be proud of, and the car responded nicely.
52.8 F, 72%, 30.00, -232'DA, no wind.

Terry Knott replaced a fuel pump this morning, and I saw they had Bertozzi's SS car up in the air working on something earlier.

Michael Beard · 04-09-2011, 03:49 PM

Rnd 1, 55.3deg, 69%, 29.98, -33'DA

Bubba continued his steamroller, and the Turismo is a little flatter now.

. He gave me a little on the tree, but I gave him even more. Both parked, I got there .008, but broke out .005. Good race.

Bogan over Knott, Lisa Bolton over Brian Rowe in a dbl breakout, Paula Cambria over Mike Longhaney, and even DJ Raiser won in the wgon he bought from Mike Hayek. Man, I didn't even know DJ was eligible for parole yet!

Super Stock to the lanes....

Stk Rnd 2
Myers over Bowman
Bubba over Raiser
Waters Sr vs Jordan.... Jordan's red, Waters way fast
Stopping to check something on the tree.....?
Lisa Bolton vs Paul Cambria... Lisa for the W
Paula Cambria and Chris Kilraine... Both good on the tree, Kilraine parks for the W
Kenney vs Bart Kilraine, who breaks out.
Two champs, Bogan and Bertozzi... Bertozzi lifts before the 60'.... Somebody was .000, Bogan gets the freebie, patting the gas at the stripe

Congrats to Super Stockers Sterling Simmons (W) and Mark Alvey (RU) and Stockers Monty Bogan (W) and Lisa Bolton (RU).

Terry and Barb and I cut out and hit a great restaurant, Rustic River.

More action tomorrow!

Sunday, Sunday, Sundaaaaaaaaaay! Saw a couple new cars roll in today, including Don Dimeler and Craig Couris. Air is similar to yesterday, but seems like many picked up a tick.

55.7 F, 74%, 29.97, 40' DA
