"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

Larry Hill · 10-09-2011, 11:33 AM

Well the track dryers are going and it isn't raining! It hasn't rained all morning, but it is only in the 60s and it's taking a while to get good enough to go down. The local weather that I was watching this morning has rain getting to us pretty soon, but another good window from 2-7. If that happens we should be able to get it in today, but we are going to have to begin pretty soon!

Well they had the track about dry, then sprinkles continued and they are scraping the track. But we just saw the ambulance leave the track. There has been no announcements, but unless they were just going out to get something to eat--this doesn't look good.

Still planning on Phoenix???

Yeah, Daryl, we are on our way to Phoenix now! We moved up to #9 in the Division, but after being down to 9 cars, we thought we had a chance at gaining a little more. Oh well, that's racing. It is really bad for Jackie Alley who is #2 in Super Stock and from Idaho. Or the Super Street guy, Chris Butcher who is from Massachuetts.

Well they don't have to worry about us ever coming to Noble, OK again. Twice in 9 years is 2 times too many.

We got loaded up in the rain pretty quickly (for us). Of course, Larry looked like a drowned rat when he got back in. We didn't have any trouble being stuck since we were in rock just beside the pavement. Larry said one of the Emmons cars was stuck, though.

thanks, Ed. I can barely remember Gary but I do remember he had a Chevy ramp truck that he hauled a 72 Firebird on that was much like the car I had and then Pontiac guys had a close bond. Just tell him I said hi after 40 yrs. Bob Michael.
