Boy is it ever warm here in Topeka for a MN boy...We just ran 1st Rd of Class. Jeff Town had me sucked up early. Should be a good GT/HA final between him and Don O'Malley.

Weather after my run was 89.8F with a DA 3615Ft.

Off to the A/C room in the hotel for a bit.

Larry & patsy,
the BEST meat market we ever found was just down the road from the track. We allways stop on the way out to the track,it's on the left hand side of the road on the way out to the track. Hamburger that right off some cow.
Cann't think of the name ,but it was just a little type store.....Tom & Ruth

What happened to Nick Folk in Semi's of B/SA? Looks like he just let off and let Biondo win.

Why does NHRA always pick the left lane to win the "tie?" (0.0001)

Alex,
I lost to my dad 2 weeks ago in Houston at the division race and I was in the left lane.

Cooter,
I can only imagine the pit scene after that race, defiantly one for the books for your family racing program and one to add to the 'Edmond' file. Tell him to do it again next time! LOL

Years ago I was told that the big bracket guys always wanted to know which side of the track that the wiring ran down as that would split a dead heat, not unlike yours. Lately however, it seems to go to the racer that has the better re-act. Anybody got one lately that has not?

Hey Jeff F., care to comment

[bigshow2966]

Most timers actually go 5 decimal points out but the printers don't.

[Larry Hill]

Well it is another beautiful day here in Topeka. Blue skies with a few clouds. It stayed pretty warm all night. Slept with the AC on last night. It is probably already in the 70's this morning. We run after S/ST who start at 8. Larry stayed mad at himself most of yesterday for his dumb move on the starting line, but I bet he doesn't forget to turn on the 2-step today at least.

We missed out on the ice cream yesterday. By the time we went over, it was all gone. But I heard it was really good! Missed the party last night, too. We were in bed by 9:30. Big partiers! I did have a really good Fuzzy Navel yesterday, tho. That's a good drink when it is hot.

Tom, thanks for the info on the meat market, but we don't usually try to get in anywhere with the motorhome once we get on the road.

Stock runs 2 rounds today, then 3rd round is 9:00 on Sunday morning. I haven't seen a schedule like this in a long time.

Well, hopefully we will still be here tomorrow. But we have to get by Marlene Nelson first this morning. She had a .004 light in class yesterday.

More later.

Patsy, has anything been said about parking in a holding lot or anything on Monday and Tuesday next week in Joliet. I'm planning on going up Tuesday afternoon to get in line, I assume this will be ok but thought I better check. Thanks
