Time to pick National Champs...

Floyd Staggs · 10-23-2010, 08:41 PM

I'm thinking about it but Brian say's that's a tuff race. Maybe one time trial and then eliminations. I don't have a throttle stop so I'd have to adjust with the pedal. I do think it would be fun though I haven't run sst yet. I've been doing d/gas in the heritage series with my 4000 lb pump gas hay hauler. If I can pit with him I'll go. I want to keep tabs on them.
Yes, they are in Noble. I just hope they don't run out of coors light before the race is done.
Rain can sure screw up a race schedule. My son had the finals in his VW association last weekend and we never got on the track. Monday wasn't an option. Hey, shyt happens!
WalMart is going to be very popular tonight.

Yes it is a tuff race, I know I'm bummed that in 2008 I had a good shot of winning the first round, because I planned on running my last time run from Sat. afternoon as my dial, but during the burnout I popped one of my slicks

, so that ruined that race, and the year before I popped another slick during time trials. However, since I grew up racing in Denver, the altitude and the wind speed changes I was pretty used to, I just had crummy luck.

I do think it would be fun though I haven't run sst yet.

I agree that it's fun to race there ('Vegas), and thanks to the new bridge they built in the Hoover Dam, it's going to be much easier (and quicker), to get there from Phoenix!

Yes, they are in Noble. I just hope they don't run out of coors light before the race is done.

That would be a bummer to run out of Coors, but make sure you bring plenty of brats with you, 'cos that's the perfect way to wind down qualifying day!!!

Rain can sure screw up a race schedule.

I know that for sure from racing there back in May of '96...it had rained @ Noble over night and into the morning, however it went away by 9-9:30, so the rest of the race day was able to be successfully run. Good luck with whatever you decide...

Got 2 weeks to decide. I think the truck is ready to go. Just got to put a little wax on it. Can't go looking dingy.
You have a good one. I gotta wait for the DRC reports tomorrow.

Moorehead out in rd 1. Ryan out in rd2. No improvement but no change in standings.
Ryan is flyin in stock.

"The Chosen One" Slate made a move to #2 with 1 nats and 1 div. to go.

If he could have gotten within that .001 package of Keith Lynch, he would have been in the lead.

Actually it appears that Slate is out of Nationals. Only 1 points race left. Needs to improve on a second round. Had Noble been 7 rounds he would be tied.

Still going with Burton, he can improve on a first round National loss and has one more divisional as well (Vegas should tell the tale).

Yes, Brian you are right. He can only block at the Nats.
