"Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnationals Open

Larry Hill · 05-25-2012, 12:01 PM

We are on our way! We have our granddaughters Aubrey and Reagan with us and their Mom and Dad are coming up tonight after work. Hopefully we will be able to get a spot in the shade. 90's forecast for all 3 days! I will post more when we get there.

Looks like it is going to be a great weekend for racing. Lots of people here, but still lots of parking left. We have a great spot with a tree. Larry trimmed on the tree for about an hour, but now it looks really nice and doesn't have a lot of little limbs sticking out from the bottom. We start time trials at 10 in the morning. I will try to get some pics tomorrow.

Patsy,
Good luck and say hey to Wes Leopold for me.

68 stockers went down this morning. It is hot!! I took some pics that I will post after while.

Well we should be running the Nitroplate combo race for $5000 in an hour or so. It is 96 degrees in the shade! When we got here yesterday, we parked by a tree since it was going to be so hot. Then all afternoon we kept smelling this awful smell, like someone had dumped their gray water or gas or something. We finally determined that the smell was coming from the tree. Then Jeremy Duncan came by this morning and said "Oh, you are parked by the Kaboom tree". I didn't know what he was talking about until he explained that there is a gas line leak in the tree. And sure enough, there is. So if you come by our pits, Please don't smoke! You many blow us up! Oh it is a good thing that they are not calling for any lightning this weekend. I can't imagine lightning hitting the tree! So anyway, here are a few pics from today. Notice all the ez-ups! Everyone is trying to stay cool.

Last year DRC posted round by round results within a day or two of the event..

Well Jerry has bragging rights at Sonny's in the morning for breakfast! In the semis it is Jerry and Mark Poole and Chuck Belanger with the bye. Sorry, but I don't know who is left in superstock. It was too hot to even go back up and watch.
