Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals

Floyd Staggs · 02-26-2010, 09:19 AM

I have run there and haven't had a problem with the dip in my 10.70 truck. But if you get out of the very tite groove you will spin the tires and get out of shape. When it happened to me I just lifted. I'm a chicken but I want to drive it on the trailer.

Jack,

That is just a dusting of snow you got there, I'll be down with my snowmobiles and we can hit the PA trails.

Just spoke with Michael Iacono who tells me that not one car has gone down the track since this morning ...........but they are working on it .Wonder when the new rain date will be ? ? Guess I should be glad I'm plowing today.............

I hate it . I absolutely hate it when my wife is right .Even she knew that when the NHRA tries to have more than one race in a single weekend it rarely works out .And then I heard about the bagfull of money I was going to spend on returning to the Phoenix "Double" --- not to mention the weather looked iffy for Saturday -- its a good thing she doesn't read this stuff -- she'll never know just how right she was -- if she did I'd never hear the end of it .I'll just call it a lucky guess on her part and leave it alone .Good thing the Nor'Easter came in and spoiled my plans .....if not I'd be eaten stuff for a long time ! ! See --- there really is a racing God -- and he saved my sorry butte again......I wonder if I'm still in ....and where ? ? ?

It looks like they have postponed the completion of National event again because of "continuing issues with the racing surface", but they still expect to complete the divisional this weekend.
