Here are a couple of pics from this morning.

Watching 1st run of stock

Larry Hill · 09-02-2009, 02:08 PM

Stock just made our 2nd run. Most slowed down 3-6. Big Daddy did get a run in, but only about .85 or so under.

Scariest run was Bill Hawk. Got way up and wheelie bars collasped. Hit down hard. Broke oil pan. So he is trying to get it fixed.

More later.

Looks like a lot of people picked up in Stock. #128 is now -0.960 under. WOW!!!

Chris Hill · 09-02-2009, 05:00 PM

Is Barton in A/SA or AA/SA?

keith ohanesian · 09-02-2009, 07:00 PM

This is all WOW!!!

Larry Hill · 09-02-2009, 07:19 PM

Barton is flying in A/SA.

Just got back from the Ford Barbq and town meeting. Can you believe they invited a Mopar racer? We were definitely outnumbered. Larry introduced himself as the sacrificial lamb! It was a nice thing they did for the Ford people. They really seem to be interested in racing. Sorry but I forgot to bring the camera.

Notes from today--

Hawk is broken and out for the weekend.
Ronnie West spun the tires both runs.
Fletcher is entered in stock, but I have not seen him at all.
Bertozzi is parked across from us but has not gone down the racetrack yet.
Bo Kenny made just the 1 run this morning.

It should be a little cooler and better air 1st run at 8 in the morning.

More pictures of the packed stands for 1st run this morning.

Do you recognize anyone?

Kevin Walsh's car being towed away.

Mrs. Van Lant, Did you see Brad sitting in the stands? He really is here!

Sorry I didn't get any more pictures taken today. I will try to get more tomorrow after class. We probably won't have anything to do after 1st round but watch!

Bob Unkefer,
You won't have any trouble finding the Emmons'. They are right up front. Really nice rig!

More tomorrow.

Larry and Patsy,

Great shots and reporting as always..

My wife and I are here for the first time since '91. Lots of changes! Will come over and say hello....

Show in Stock and Super Stock was awesome!

Couple of highlights I noticed from Top Eliminator stands;

New factory cars Dodges and Fords are in a class all of their own. Surprise, surprise!
Stancil's 8.23 run was an "out of the park homerun!"
Westcott Jr's 8.49 was equally impressive and have returned to a "stick" in the car!
283 SBC cars are turning some awesome rpms in burnout and starting line ie. Brown SS/K, Bichlemeir (sp) GT/I etc.
Boertman broke on second run.
Rashid turned off early just after starting line on SS second run in left lane.
Rink broke a differential jsut after he left the strating line and came to a stop just past the '60 ft. marker.
Jim Daniels SS/AH smoked the entire run in right lane in second session and everyone feared the worst. Apparently, that was not the case!

Biggest surprise; where is the Fletch?

More later...

Mike
