"Live" from Houston

Well, I guess as soon as we get back home the Dana will go back in the Cuda. We broke a rear end last week at Belle Rose, then again this morning in the first round. It broke right on the starting line. And Larry wasted a .007 light! I knew as soon as I saw it what had happened. This time it had to come back to the pits on a rollback. It is totally locked up. He is out there putting another one in so we can at least get it loaded in the trailer.

Talk about a change in the weather. Our guages were showing -374' this morning as opposed to 2200' on our last run yesterday. It is cold and windy but bright blue skies. It was 49 degrees when we went down the track with about 15 mph crosswinds. It was really cold sitting in the stands watching because the wind was blowing right in your face. We were showing that it was about .15 faster this morning. As you could tell on DRC there were lots of breakouts. Cars were hooking and get way up. Jeff Teuton's car got up higher than I have ever seen it get. I asked him if he had to change pants when he got back to the trailer. LOL Jerry Newsome is running a great race. His car really looked good this morning.

We will be here the rest of the day, so I will try to give you some updates later in the day. Looks like we don't run again til after 2 rounds of pros today. Oh, it looks like Unkefer did blow his up yesterday. He was a no show this morning.

More later.
