"Live" from Houston

Larry Hill · 03-25-2009, 08:05 PM

Well it is 8 pm and still no rain. Looks like we won't make it thru the evening without getting a little wet, though. I've been down talking to Bobby Brannon and Ken Faulk and hearing about Alamo stories. They weren't impressed. Not many stockers here yet. I'm sure everyone is getting in that extra day of work and will be here tomorrow. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow and hopefully I will do better at posting them than I did with the Belle Rose pictures.

Well my team (Kentucky) just got beat in the NIT, so it's all over now for the Wildcats. Anybody know a good basketball coach?

Well, so long until tomorrow.

Well it is overcast and cool, but not raining. We had one little shower around 9 or so last night and I don't think it rained anymore all night. Racers are pulling in this morning and tech is open. It looks like rain, but forecast says none til noon or so. This afternoon and Friday still look a little iffy. I just hope we get to run class tomorrow. We will just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.

More later.

Have you all looked at the schedule that they post at the NHRA trailor to see how many time trials stock will recieve before running class......Will there be a time trial on sat morning or right into eliminations...

Larry Hill · 03-26-2009, 09:56 AM

Chris, We have not found the trailer yet, still looking.

Larry Hill · 03-26-2009, 12:58 PM

The only schedule that is up is for Friday. Super Street starts out at 8, then stock 1 time trial. Then we start right in to class. They're showing 3 rounds of class all on Friday morning. Saturday's schedule is not up, but I bet we go straight into eliminations on Saturday morning. I will check back later in the day and see if they post the schedule.

Lots more stockers have pulled in today. Teuton, Corda, Bratsen, Bob Shaw (by the way, he has to be 120 pounds heavier this weekend), Lusco, Fletcher.

Had a great lunch today. Charlie Ford brought us some local Texas chicken. And boy was it good. Not spicy hot, just good spices. Thanks, Charlie.

More later.

Well the rain is here. It is not raining hard. Just a heavy sprinkle. But everyone has their cars put up and have brought out the beer.

Found out Charlie Ford cooked the chicken. Fried it in a turkey fryer. Really good. And who would have thought he could cook!!

More later.

Hay, If he dose burgers you most definitely want to get in that line too ! They are Outstanding.

Jim Bailey · 03-28-2009, 07:07 PM

Larry, I could save you some weight, (you don't need a Dana),..... give you 8-10 more hp at the rear tires, .....and make you a believer ! Ask,...Jeff Teuton, Mike Beard, Scott Macy, Steve Wann, John Shaul, Chuck Beach, Jim Nichols, John Dinkle, John Lovins, Randy Martin, Gene Mosbeck (Dana), Phil Baldacchio, Jeff Day, ...the list goes on, Call me ! ....JB.

Larry Hill · 03-28-2009, 09:23 PM

Well, our Mopars here have done pretty well. Jerry Newsome and Jeff Teuton are still in. Stock runs 2 rounds in the morning before the opening ceremonies. We will stay as long as Jerry is still in. He has our transmission in his car since he broke his at Belle Rose, so I guess we will see it get home.LOL

We have had a great time around here today. My cousins from Baton Rouge and Port Lavaca have been out here all day for their 1st drag race. I think they have really had a good time. They had no idea what a circus this is.

Larry got the old broken rear end put back in the car so it would at least roll so we could get it back in the trailer. Thanks to Jerry Newsome for helping out and Jeff Teuton for running after some parts for us. So we have everything all loaded back up.

There are a lot of great and knowledgeable fans here in Houston. Had lots of people looking and taking pictures of our car today. I think it was the only pink car here at the track.

Thanks to the Abear Bros. from Houma for all the great food they cooked today. I am sorry about the spelling of their name. I'm sure that I butchered it badly. They cooked jambalaya and fried chicken legs and white beans. Really, really good. Thanks guys. I heard one of the guys in this bunch drank 48 beers yesterday. Now that's a lot of beer!!!

Pat, I talked with both your boys (Scott & Kevin). They are doing fine!

Dean, it was nice meeting you yesterday, too. Hope you had a good trip home.

Well it is bedtime again.

More tomorrow.
