Just made run # 2. Picked up a little with the tailwind. 66 cars went down that time. Plourd's transmission line came off during the 1st run and he didn't know it. His 2nd run was fine. Fitzsimmons made it down that time in Larry Griffith's car.

What kind of line did he have, a rubber hose with some clamps? AN fittings or steel line wouldn't just come off.

We got our 3rd run in. It is hot and windy! There were a lot of people picking up that round, trying to get where they wanted for tomorrow's racing. A few people spun that round like Britt Cummings and Dave Ficcaci. We are done for the day! Wine time after I finish with the Gatorade!

We went with Mike and Paula Cotten tonight to a great Chicago Pizza place called Beggars and had a great time. We were winning the trivia contest (we were the oldest people in there) until the final bonus question where you could wager how much of your points you wanted to. We were winning by 5 points and Paula and I wanted to wager 10 points, but Larry and Mike wanted to bet the whole 145 points with the category Native Americans! Well we bet it all and then found out it was a 5 part question and you had to get at least 4 right to get any points. And we only got 2 out of 5 right. Next time maybe they will listen to the women!!!

Well we run 1st and 2nd rounds starting at 9 in the morning. And we have to run our neighbor from 2 miles down the road after driving 360 miles to get here. Oh well, that's racing!

My first experience towing the race car started out pretty good this morning, but then got progressively worse! But at least we didn't get real mad at each other like some husband and wives did today! Hopefully this is the last race that we will have to do this!!

More tomorrow!

Patsy, could you send me a pm with your email address? I have a couple of shots from the 4 wide in Charlotte of the McCormicks and couldn't find a way to send them to them. Or if you have an email address for them, I can send them directly to them.

Thanks,
Butch
