"Live" from Topeka!

Bernie Cunningham · 05-29-2009, 09:40 PM

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

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

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

Drew,they usually park cars over at the Nascar track.One road north of the drag strip.You can call the track on Monday ,and they will tell you.

Well, since Marlene put us on the trailer, we are on our way home. She had a better light and ran closer to the dial, so just like it is supposed to be, she won! We stayed and watched round 2, then packed on up. Just stopped for lunch at a rest area. Fred Suiter is here, too. Barb didn't come with him this weekend as she is having health problems. Barb, we wish you well. Hurry up and come back racing!

Just a note about track prep this weekend. It wasn't great. Worse 60's we have had all year. Then we lost another .03 in 60 this morning. Ronnie West spun badlly in class yesterday. But I noticed they stopped and cleaned up in front of him this morning. Another note on Round 1 this morning. Chris Knudsen won the 1st round, but they had to clean up after him at about the finish line on. He didn't show for 2nd round. Don't know what he lost.

Well we are heading on back down the road. We plan on going to the 2 day Combo race at Bowling Green next weekend, then Joliet for the points race.

See ya'll there.

Getting closer to running 1st Rd in S/G, S/C and SS. Currently, my Computech RaceAir Pro is reading a HOT 92.6F, 22% Humidity, 28.67 Baro., with a DA 3869Ft.

Track Temp was over 125F about 30min ago when I went up there to watch Comp. Lots of spinning....
