Live from Bowling Green, Division 3 points race!

Larry Hill · 08-27-2009, 07:26 PM

We are finally here. We arrived about 6:30, so we did not get to test n tune. My husband moves in slow motion when it gets time to leave. But here we are finally. We are parked at the end of the race track just about as far as you can get. But we are parked to where the truck can be pulled out if it rains too much. There are lots and lots of cars here.

I don't know how many tested today, but George Widuch who races with Jerry Bennett, said that it was only about a 10 min. wait to run each time.

I did see Kallas's trailer as we came back to our motorhome.

Thanks to Quick Fuel for providing a bar b q dinner tonight for everyone. We got there late and only got corn and baked beans, but they were very good. They said they thought they had fed somewhere around 375 people.

I will give you updates tomorrow after I see who all is here.

It's been a long day, so nite-nite.

i just talked to my dad, and he also said Irvin Johns went 10.13 at 131 in B/SA. That's ridiculous, especially at 3500'.

If it's like any other race with test and tunes, they'll be at least a tenth slower (or more) tomorrow.

bill dedman · 08-27-2009, 11:23 PM

Why is that???

Ed Carpenter · 08-28-2009, 07:34 AM

With all those cars hope someone is going to post pictures. I no particular order I would like to see Bill Zaskowski's, Robin Brown's, and Danny Coffman's Chevy II's. I know Bill is going hope the others are. Any others would be great. Bob Rice will be looking also. Ed

Everybody's cars are still in their trailers, since it is still raining. I will try to get some pictures when the cars get out and about.

Lots of cars still coming in. The great thing about Bowling Green is there is plenty of parking. The rain is very light so nothing is muddy yet.
