1st round:
Couris beat Teuton
Russo beat Newsome on a broke bye (Newsome broke a transmission)
Latino beat Duzac
Brannon beat Larry
Pizzalato beat Hidalgo

2nd round:
Couris had the bye
Pizzalato beat Latino
Russo beat Brannon

So there were 3 left. We ran out of time and were going have to finish up tomorrow after class. They decided to split the money, since everyone had to mess with weight in and out. So we had 3 winners.

And I didn't get to have my 1st glass of wine til 8:00 tonight.

Other news, there have been lots of people pulling in all day. Mr. Ortiz is here having a good time. They are just a few trailers down, so I will get a better update from them later.

They were showing around 80 cars in stock. We start out with a time trial at 9:00 in the morning. Then on to class.

After we eat a little supper I will try to get more news. The weather was just wonderful today. Still suppose to be good all week.

Why the PRO ladder?

[Larry Hill]

Daryl, we have always used a pro ladder for Top Stock.

Junior, our guages read Dry-80, wet-65, altimeter -150 feet for a DA of around 1300'.

Larry just cooked some great steaks, so I feel better now. Also went down to Dr. Tommy Fudge's for some chicken with pineapple, and jalepeno sausage somethings. I'm going back tomorrow to get his recipe.

Much thanks to Jeff Teuton for letting Jerry Newsome use his lift in his trailer to change out his transmission. We had a spare that he put in so now he will be ready to run class tomorrow. The original schedule I saw had us getting 2 runs tomorrow, then class. But if I heard correctly, they had changed that to 1 run, then class. I know they did announce that stock runs at 9:00, followed by super stock.

More seen today: Jack McCarthy, Ray and David Buckner, Verne Buchanan, Charlie Downing, Austin and Charlie Ford, Allen Hollingsworth, Paul Hollingsworth (who owns David Latino's car--Al Corda's old Pontiac).

Well, we're pretty pooped out today, so a little basketball on the telly and on to bed.

DRC should be posting times tomorrow, but I will try to keep you up on the gossip.
