Patsy & Larry,

I'm sorry to hear about the starting line problems.

Thank you for the great posts and look forward to more in the future.

Great report Patsy.
As I told you at the track,I thought I was the only one that nearly took out the Christmas Tree Saturday morning, and then I read your report on my cell phone,and realized that it just wasn't me.I just got back from Byron today,and the car was working well,so I definately think it was track prep and not the car.
The track was in good shape for the first run on Friday.My mom ran 11.14 in one of the first few pairs of cars out.She then weighed,and went to fuel check,but nobody was there,so she went back to the pits.Sure enough,they didn't count the run.DQ!!!!
I ran my first qualifying run,and then went to fuel check.On the second run,I went a little faster,so I went to fuel check and they said that It wasn't necessary because it was okay last time.So if my mom's fuel was fine on the second pass,you would think that they would have counted the first pass????
One thing that I never saw before was that the first three pair to run were listed on the ladder,which was an interesting idea.Do any other divisions do this?I thought it seemed to work well.If you were picked to be one of the first three pair out,there was no hanging out at the rear of the lanes.
I'm sure the track was probably much better today.They seemed to be in way too much of a rush.At least I didn't drive as far as you,because that has to be pretty disappointing.

442olds. if you are talking about stock on friday, I was first down track in the right lane and bob blackwell was giving out cups for fuel checks, if i recall, I`m old, on the track my 60` foots were 1.584, 1.567, 1.559,1.560 I know my car is slow, Tom

Larry wanted me to come back on here and say he didn't blame the starting line for his loss. His bad light was the reason he lost ( and Sam's good driving and run).

Larry and Patsy, I drove by your trailer with my golf cart and didn't put 2+2 together to figure out it was you folks. I read all your track updates, its almost like being there. I love your car color, you can't go past it without looking. Will have to stop by and jabber next year.
