Imagine that, a full field at an LODRS event with a bump! Who said class racing is dead?

Still hot and humid today, but a little tailwind has made it more to the liking of both man and machine. 86.1 F, 58%, 29.69 baro, 2751' DA, .729 VP at 10:30 am.

Well we have a great start for Race 1 of our Autumn Leaf Tour! Larry, Paula and Mike all made it thru 1st round. It has been a busy day, then this afternoon we have been relaxing a bit. Chris is still here and our granddaughters are here today, too. I took a few pics that I will post later.

I know there has been, Indy and Bowling Green used to be all the time, but I don't remember one in the last few years.

According to my unofficial research, the last time there was a full field at a points race was at ATCO in 2008.

It is another beautiful here in Bowling Green! Lots of dew again! Super Street is out first again at 8 followed by Stock. The Alarm Stockers are out and about warming up. It is supposed to be in the high 80s again today.

Some notes from yesterday: A few no-shows 1st round. Brett McFarland could have gotten in as an alternate, but he is still having trouble getting his Copo down the track and told Redman that he was not going to run. Bomar was a no-show as well as Bill Skillman. Bill's hood flew off during time trials and messed it up as well as broke the windshield. He will be ready for Indy though. When you own a Ford dealership, it is not as hard to get parts quickly! LOL Hairrington's car wouldn't start, so Keith Lynch got a single. Jeff Teuton finally got his car down the track and won the first round on a double breakout. We had a pretty good tail wind and there were a lot of break-outs including us. In SS, Jimmy Bridges blew up and oiled down the track pretty good.

More later
