Live from the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals

[Dave Casey]

Cup cars were testing yesterday(tues) and heard they are testing 10 - 3 today, free to sit in the stands. The holding area is next to the oval track. This is a very busy area that all appears to be related to the racing facilities. Had a chance to tour roush yates engine shop yesterday, what an expiriance, then went to MBE cyl heads and what a great shop. Also went to Lenny's shop Ultimate converter concepts. Thanks to lenny and Dawn for loaning us a van for the day. They moved their shop here from connecticut last year and they are busy. good to see good people doing well, they are an extremely nice and hard working couple.

Had a nice cookout last night Al Mark, Kenny Richard made it here around 8. Others were,Harper and crew,Labreque,Markow,Lenny and dawn, Rich Simone and his wife and a freind, Ed Bednaz, my self , daughterr kelly and Tim, sorry for those I forgot.

Sun is out and it is great 945 weds am

Well here we go everyone, first report. I got some pictures, but first a little info about the track and Thursday and Friday's schedule.

I took picture of the schedules and lanes we will be running in, I hate typing.

The track is first rate, I don't think there is a bad place park. If you got here early you were on the asphalt, but everyone's road is asphalt.

The weather is warm, and is supposed to be nice for the next few days.

Tech was crowed, but it went quick. As usual I lost my license and membership card, I seem to being doing this with a greater frequency lately. I will just blame it on getting old.

I will post right after this with more stock and super stock cars.

Sorry guys if I don't respond to everyone's post, I'm trying to get Live from done and work on the car ...... I'm just skimming over the thread and posting quick.

Still lots of cars coming in, here are some shots of the tech line and in the pits. I would have to say judging by the faces, this is one happy group of racers. I know I always look at the positive side, and it probably gets a little old for some, but this is what racing is all about. We have class in stk and ss, we have all the sportsman cars here, the weather is great and the track is awesome.

More pics, I will be back later with some pictures of the track.
