"Live" from St. Louis National Open 2013

Larry Hill · 04-13-2013, 12:24 PM

We are here finally. Had planned to come up on Friday and test and then after it was going to be so cold, decided to wait til this morning to come up. Big mistake!! It takes us too long to get everything ready to go to get there the day of the race! But we did get teched and made the first round in the "Record" lane since it was the only one still open! I guess we didn't get the record at 10.48 in A/SA!

Lots of cars here, but they are running everything here plus more! Jrs., super pro, et sportsmen, motorcylces, Super Quick, super comp, super gas, super street, stock/super stock combo and probably something I left out.

Brad Van Lant just brought me over a nice bottle of wine. If you are here, come over this evening and we will try it out!

Only 37 cars made the second pass. I got there late for the 1st run, so I only got about 10 times on the 1st run. I will go up and see if I can find a qualifying sheet. It is up to 62 now. Wasn't but 54 for the 1st run.

We have been done for the day for a while. But we do get 1 more time trial in the morning. There are 38 cars on the qualifying sheet, but we have random pairing 1st round.

There are cars in the barn tearing down for setting records. Wade Owens, Jim Harrison and others. I will try to get some numbers for you in a bit.

Just flew over on approach to St Louis...saw a huge pink car going down the track. I could not make out the make or model.

Looked like a good crowd.

Larry Hill · 04-13-2013, 08:52 PM

Hey Bill ! That had to be us! Haven't seen any other pink cars this weekend! LOL

Here is a copy of the qualifying sheet. Hope you can read it!

This is the fuel guy telling Larry that the track told him not to bring C11 or C12!

This was the note on the fuel trailer when we came back from having the fuel tested that he was selling. It was Renegade and a whole lot cheaper than VP. Oh and he was told to provide VP traction compound instead of VHT. And then they had to cancel test n tune last night because it is only good from 30 to 90 degrees! And they couldn't get it to work!

They have called Combo up. Kinda overcast. Going up to 76 today.
More later.
