And maybe more than a single light bulb for the win light.

We plan on driving to the west side of St. Louis and finding a Wal-mart for the night and then driving the rest of the way hopefully not in the rain in the morning.

Talked to the cheese guy, Mr. Terry Grohz (sp?) and he is sending cheese by Steve Koppein, so come on by and try it out with us!

Larry & Patsy.....your 'cheese' is on the way, just got off the phone with Steve Koppien, he says he is about 1/2 way there....he thought you should have had some cheese on that boloney sandwich

I love fried baloney sandwiches. White bread...mayo...onion..pickle...tomatoe....cold beer. Life is good.

Fried baloney and eggs is also good.

Well test n tune got cancelled after it rained again and was pretty cold. Mid 40's.

So we are in watching Passtime on the Speed Channel.

Stock and superstockers who have pulled in this afternoon:
Dave and Bev Picht, Larry and Jason Deforrest, Don Duke and Jamie Kilgore and families, Troy Henderson, Danny Byrd.

Haven't seen the Koppein's yet, but I had to have some Wisconsin cheese with my wine since my South Dakota cheese isn't here yet.

We get started about 9 tomorrow. It is supposed to be about 40 in the morning, but then sunny and 62.

More later.

Hey Pasty,it`s ironic you mentioned Denver and scoreboards. The one`s at KCIR used to be at Bandimere,and made their way out there around `94. Have fun this weekend,that`s one of my favorite tracks! Lane

Well they finally started down the track around 10:45. They ran, sst, sc, then stock/superstock combo. 43 cars made the 1st pass. Larry almost took out the tree. I haven't talked to him yet. He went up to the starting line after he made the run. Hopefully nothing is broken, but he had to get out of it, so we don't have a time. Doesn't look like there is going to be but 5 or 6 in top stock. They were not announcing who anyone was much, so I have a lot of red cars, green cars and black cars with a time . Supposed to get 4 runs today.

More later.

We had 45 cars on our 2nd run. They have not posted any qualifying. After lunch I will try to figure it out and let you know. We got a good run that time. 10.31 and 127 mph.
More later.

I guess the tower is trying to make me feel at home here, like I am at the Kentucky Derby. When they call a new class to the lanes, they play the "Call to the Post" like at a horse race. Pretty cool!

Well I will try to do my Nitro Joe imitation and give you the qualifying after 2 runs:

1. Greening-O/S -1.329
2. Shaffer-GT/MA--1.256
3. Van Lant-D/SA--1.254

Hey Patsy,
A fried boloney sandwich is a southern well done steak sandwich.
