"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

[7423]

DRC is a bit lean on results for the day and I have been out of the loop all week. Did stock run today?
Thanks in advance........

The rest of super stock and all of stock were in the lanes when the rain started. They pulled the plug on today and stock is first out in the morning. Then Super Stock gets their 2nd qualifier. The super stock cars that did not get down this afternoon lost their first run. Stock gets another qualifier in the morning, then we run 1st round late tomorrow, then super stock 1st round is after us. They announced everything but I didn't write it down, so I am not for sure on anything except we are supposed to go down at 8 in the morning. Tomorrow's weather is sunny and 58, but down to 40 tonight. I sure am glad that Mike Cotten saw the propane guy this morning and we all got filled up!

I got a few pics this afternoon, then some from the stands of super stock when they were running. Here goes:

Patsy, I get the feeling you are about ready to get home and see those grand kids.

Good morning all. Patsy and Toby, thanks for all the pictures and reports. The 64 Chevelle SS/MA car is Brett Brown. That car was owned by Jim Gorman from Seattle many years ago. I remember seeing it on a trailer headed for the track and making many passes at local drag strips. A blast from the past for me. Anyway, good luck to all and hopefully better weather for the rest of the weekend.

[Larry Hill]

Greg, you are right! We can't wait to get home to see Aubrey and Reagan! We are really thankful that Chris has kept everything going there at home so we could be out here playing. Also his wife Keisha has been helping out also. Thanks, guys!

Well 108 stockers went down this morning. It is only 49 degrees out there this morning. They have already called us back up for our 2nd and last qualifier. Then we run 1st round almost last tonight. I think super stock is after us.

More later!

Now we get to sit here all day and run in the dark tonight. Still lots of people playing the game to where they are at the bottom of the ladder. We ran pretty consistently. Robbie Irving broke something on the line, sprag maybe. Markkanen had problems at the beginning, too. First run Cannen got way high and hit pretty hard when he came down. Lee Zane is running Mark Faul's car and had some problems on the line, too. Santangelto is running Bertozzi's car. I will try to get some pics later on today. More later.
