MJ - I'll be wearing my Blue Oval hat this weekend and working the Cobra Jet Showdown at the NMCA race at Norwalk. So please continue to take the lead reporting from BG.

I will be filing "Live" reports from Norwalk on the Stock/SS Combo and the Holley Supercar Showdown. Good luck! And I'll see you guys at Indy.

MJ got this started so I expect him to keep posting all weekend!! We are here here and parked and it is a beautiful day! Sunny skies and in the 70s! Test and tune should be starting in about 10 minutes and I expect the lanes to be full. Parking is a little different this year in that the only ones parked on pavement are alcohol,comp,top dragster and top sportsmen! So if you are looking for your favorite racer where he usually parks, he probably isn't there!

The grass really needs to have been mowed, but the ground is pretty firm. There are lots of ruts in our pit area, so I predict that either Larry or I one will fall in one of the holes before the weekend is over!

I will defer to you Miss Patsy, your track reporting skills are second to none and the beautiful pictures you take throughout the weekend are nothing short of spectacular. T and T is now open and one of the first cars down the track was a beautiful black Dart driven by Larry Gilley . NICE.....As Miss Patsy so eloquently touched on, the parking situation here is different from say....the last 25 years or so....

A lot of racers were working on their stuff. Jerry and Mike Bennett changed converters, the Welker camp worked way passed sundown, Mr Bill Rink doing normal maintenance, a D7 car was on four jack stands at sundown.

The racer appreciation meal was very good! Menu: pulled pork sandwich that was really loaded up, BBQ beans, mustard potato salad, two different types of sauce, pickles, and shredded coleslaw. After a hard day of test and tune, a meal this good is a welcome sight for the hungry masses. Thanks Lucas Oil and Quick Fuel.

Track prep for T&T was good, the starting line crew really tried to stay on top of it. Tech and T&T had a little confusion but not enough to mention.

A lot of good runs by a lot of class on the way to Indy. A second under the Index at BG is always a little on the sporty side.

All in all just a real good day of racing.

Things start off this morning with super street at 9, followed by stock and the rest of the regular order. We are scheduled for 2 runs today with a clean=up this afternoon.

Right now at 8:15 it is 68 degrees and an adjusted altitude of 1500'. Best weather for Bowling Green in years. Only supposed to be low 80s by the afternoon! Blue skies and a wonderful day in sight!!

Cooter, you have been looking at the wrong sight! MJ had already started "Live from". I am just adding to it!

Patsy
