"Live" from Division 3 RT. 66 LODRS

Mike Delahanty · 06-04-2015, 03:59 PM

Just pulled in from Detroit area at 3:00 local time to a long line of haulers that weaves along the side of the circle track. The line is moving but it's gonna be a while till I get in. Stay tuned for reports from inside. Looks like a good WiFI signal - so far.

Good luck y'all! I'm heading south to Tennessee where Edmond Richardson and the Boyz are putting on a big money bottom-bulb race.

The line of rigs parked at the circle track cleared after 5:00. The asphalt pits filled quickly with lots of space reserved for yet to arrive Comp and Alcohol cars. The grass pits are filling steadily. The latest forecasts look better for Friday with no rain. Sunday looks like it could be a problem with 100% chance. The signal is strong at the track so updates should be easy.

Bill Dyer was thrashing on something under the car.

Bill Dyer- We were just Making his Moostang shift easier!

Good morning. We have a beautiful day here in Chicago Land with great weather today. Cool temps this morning and what looks like good air. But there is a strong cross/head wind that may wipe that out. Super Street started off and about 10 pair went down and we stopped. Some issues with the timing system. A couple of photos in the meantime.

My close friend and former Stocker racer Sam Hamod with MJ Quinn.

Looks like a good field of stockers

Nathan Botten is one of the faithful Ford racers.

It wouldn't be a race if James didn't have a Jerico apart somewhere lol.......

The track is changing out the timing system in hopes of of solving the gremlins.

With the threat of severe weather on Sunday we have been notified that the race may be finished tomorrow.

Porta-Tree has its text service here. I signed up.

11:23 and we are still down.

This gives you an idea how long we have been waiting. Patrick Downing has dropped the tailgate.

And more waiting.

Noon. Still quiet.
