"Live" from Belle Rose

Chris Hill · 03-20-2009, 09:53 AM

They've run first qualifying in stock.

Around 10 to 12 A/SA cars, same with C/SA. Mom will post more when she gets a chance, but that may not be untill after they are done running today.

Stock has had 2 runs and superstock is running now. Super Gas runs, then stock class. Don't believe any of the numbers on the runs this morning. You would not believe the sandbagging that is being done. Air was 300' on the first run and 600' on the second. We have 13 A/SA cars if they had all the indexes correct. It is really fast. The wind was blowing a cross wind and cool.

More later after class.

Excellent first round light and great run Larry .... good luck the rest of the day and weekend ...

Thanks Bill and Chuck. The old pink AARP Cuda and its driver are doing ok today!

Pat came by a little while ago and said that this is the best turn-out for the Sportsnationals yet. 561 entries and still coming in. He said he had put 143 miles on his scooter so far. With the economy and all he said they figured on maybe 400 racers, so he is very pleased. He is expecting 5000 spectators out here tomorrow.

You could not ask for better weather. A little breeze and 70's and sunny!

We probably won't run Round 2 until at least 4-4:30.

Just sitting around resting after the marathon yesterday.

Can't wait for the crawfish boil tonight.

More later.

Well our 3 west KY boys did pretty well qualifying, but then they all red-lighted in class. Anyway it was a great day racing. I'm ready for wine and crawfish now. Looks like still another 1-2 hours of racing before the feast.

Maybe I will hear some stories tonight.

More later.

Stock looked like nitro cars, running to a 1000 ft. I don't think all the fastest cars won class since they were trying not to get hp on Monday. Smart moves.
