The dealership was Paul Harvey Ford..... It's right on 38th st.... It's been boarded up for a few years now!

We just got back in to the nice cool air conditioning. We went over and had barbq ribs and chickens at the Skillmans tonight. Very nice! Thanks to Bill and Stacey and Ray and Drew. I took some pictures that I will post tomorrow. Right now I just want to get cool!

We also went to the presentation for the A/S and A/SA Challenge winners. Congratulations to Caleb McFarland and David Barton for jobs well done! I have pics of that, too, that I will post tomorrow!

The ladder still was not up when we came home, but I was able to find out on DRC that after Corda and Downing were tossed, we ended up with Bo Butner first round. All I can hope is 3rd time is charm as he has beaten us twice already this year, the most recent being last weekend at Bowling Green in the third round.

Well we have an early morning tomorrow, so it is bedtime for me!

Thanks for the info, I guess that begs one more question: does the barn fill up first, or do selected cars go there, those maybe getting more scrutiny? Does thE barn indicate a more extensive teardown, i.e., cherry picker available etc

Do they still pull some pans?

I had to run to town and when I was gone my wife thinks she heard that a car went over the wall. Anybody know?

Maybe this?

CLERMONT, Ind. -- Darin Bay's jet dragster lost control and went over the guard rail on the top end of the race track during an exhibition run to conclude the day's action from the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil. Bay, from Vancouver, WA., was alert and conscious after being extracted from the vehicle and was transported to Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in downtown Indianapolis for further observation.

Rob, a jet car crashed. They were working on getting the driver out is the last thing I read.

Rob Petrie E395 · 09-02-2011, 10:50 PM

Drag Race Central said Bert Morgan was a "no-show" for first round of the auto class combo. Does anyone know what happened to Bert?
