Not so LIVE from Charlotte.....

thomas sheehan · 09-16-2010, 09:41 PM

Hi everyone.

First off (Not so LIVE... means i'm posting from the hotel tonite... no live connection from the track).

Now... we had a Beautiful day here in Charlotte (90 degrees, 33% hum, 29.49 baro, huge tailwind, and a sweet downhill track).
I managed to get a few pics even though we had a engine disaster after the 2nd qualifying pass.
We managed to borrow a cherry picker from Kenny Horne, imstalled our spare 318, and hope to dial it in with our one tt tomorrow before rd 1.

Also found my cheap little Nikon Coolpix sux at zoom pics from the upper deck. (but I'll post them anyway).

Here goes........

Starting with our engine change

I got inside it today (forgot my camera)..... but it is first class!

Under the bleachers... only the first day.... but super clean!

great pics Tom. Sorry to hear about the engine. Good luck tomorrow.
I'll be at Pittsburgh Raceway Park this Sat for the PID Reunion and Tri-State Stock-Super Stock race. I think Withers is going there with his SS/C AMX too.

Thanks for posting pic of my car. I did not recognize you on the scooter, so I did not say Hi, sorry. Sorry you had motor trouble. I had career best numbers both days until elims, then the thing slowed. Lower ball joint came apart when loading the car on the trailer, and the front wheels collapsed on the ramps.Glad it didn't happen on the track.
