"Live" from Houston

[Larry Hill]

They just announced we are still probably 30 minutes away from racing. Trying to dry the top end of the track. It hasn't rained since last night, but the moisture is still in the air bad. The sun is trying to peek thru a bit but not enough to help yet. I just drove back thru the pits and everyone has their cars out. The last ones to come in after it rained are just parked on the roads. There have been a lot of changes in Class. Now in AA/SA are Corda, Fletcher, both Mick----,. Still in A/SA, us, Latino, Brannon.

I'm afraid it is looking more like a 1 shot deal for class. But maybe not--we will just have to wait and see.

I have already been out mud bogging this morning. Got stuck with my golf cart next to Teuton's motorhome. Larry, Jeff, and Jerry Newsome had to push me out. So now I have to park the golf cart in the trailer when I am not riding it.

More later.

Finally made our 1st run. We were off by .13 from Belle Rose, but most everybody else was, too. Sam Pouciau is #1 at 1.06 under. It is really slow. 69 cars. Lots of red lights in qualifying. A couple of Emmons had trouble as well as Unkefer. They should be putting up times shortly. They still have us on the schedule to run class today--1st round after pros, then finish up after the 2nd session of pros. Bad news is though, that it is looking like a little rain later on this afternoon.

More later.

Well we are on hold again for a few sprinkles. In the 1st run, something happened to Williams and Bratsen on the starting line. Newsome's was a scale issue.

More later.

Hey Patsy enjoying your posts, I know we were supposed to be there. Charlie Ford had us a spot right there with you and the Teuton's. We had to take Mom in for emergency gallbladder surgery this morning, so unfortunately were gonna miss out! Mom will be OK she is going in to surgery here in a few minutes. Some times, rarely, there are more important things, LOL. I hope we can get our entry back, Glendora told me to talk to Craig Hutchison, so hopefully we can work it out. Wish we were there, but gotta take care of momma! Good luck! Tomorrow is gonna be fast!

Hey, Dave, Tell Gwen "Get Well, Quick" from us. Charlie and Austin had you a real good spot here by us. You would have made it 4 Mopars in a row.

Too bad Class wasn't able to be completed. It was actually sprinkling pretty good on the last 2 cars that went down. We got to run but got beat. We have slowed down since last weekend, but the air wasn't nearly as good. It rained pretty hard again, and they were not able to get the track dry enough to run.

Congratulations to Jerry Newsome and all the rest of the Class Winners.

We run 1st round in the morning probably around 8:30. It is supposed to be about 40 degrees . What do you think we ought to dial????

Later.
