LIVE from Atlanta NHRA Div 2 LODRS - Page 2

Hi Mike. You probably had VP 110 They sell it a lot down here. Cheaper than C 12. It isn't on NHRA's list though.

A few hundredths quicker this morning as many expected. 3-4 more Stockers and one more Super Stocker came in today that I know of (Ronnie Courtney), which will shuffle things a little. Stock has been called for first round. A little higher barometer but the heat is starting to roll in.

Thanks to all those that stopped by to put faces with names last night, and a special thanks to the sidelined KWig for coming out here anyway just to hang out. Had a great time benchracing, got to meet Painter, and enjoyed a great BBQ with the Div 2 crew.

Wilson over Candies in aheads-up match first round, Candies with .40 in the bank in qualifying. Didn't get to see how it played out.

I went from .000 in the last qualifying to stuttering out an .037 first, but luckily my opponent had issue (maybe blocking the tree?) and was much later. It slowed up a BUNCH from this morning, landing closer to yesterday's 90-degree performances.

Mr. Beard, if you can't have fun with KWIG, you can't have fun period, they don't get much better than Kenny, as for side lined...I hear he's just layin low, makin ole Blue even faster!!, he has set the bar pretty high for the rest of us G Bodied KLM cars!! Don't let him bullcrap you.....he IS the MAN!!!
Good luck in the foreign (at least to you) land!!....can't resist..."like a duck out of water."....I kill me....

Good to finally meet you too. I have had a lot of people say a lot of things after meeting me but I don't think " pleasure" has been used often, if ever, as you posted earlier. Good luck and wish we were still there but can't seem to shake the Monkey.

Michael Beard · 06-23-2012, 02:49 PM

Man, it's gotten brutal out. 96 I think. Brain hurts. Rnd 2, car was sliding on the starting line but I held onto and got lucky to keep it green and cover. Got Wilson next, who's been driving very well.

Yeah, Turk, we were talking about you. Nothing good, I assure you. ;-) KWig's a transmission-bustin' machine right now. Come to find out, he had been a Mopar guy, so he does have a redeeming quality. ;-)

Mr. Way, I don't know how them other folks have not be bedazzled by your sparkling personality. Sorry your weekend was shortened. Hope you get that Cuda conquered!
