Live from Memphis!

It's another beautiful day here in Memphis. Sunny and even windier than yesterday. We beat Bill Harris on his breakout this morning. Lots of people broke out by just a little. Amy Faulk broke out a bunch though. Looks like she finally got the transmission fixed. J-rod red-lighted against Jerry Bennett in a heads up. Jerry has another heads up next round with the Country Dog. Patterson was a no-show against Steve Hunt, who we will race next. They are running SC now, then S/St, then TD, and Comp. They skipped over us for 2nd round, so I guess we will just wait and see when we run again.

More later.

Got lucky that round. Our 60' went from 1.330 this morning to 1.408. Thanks to Steve Hunt for breaking out by .003. At least Larry is driving well. Had an .017 light that time. Jerry Bennett finally has to dial his car this round. Well more later.

Our neighbor Jerry Bennett is in the final against Wade Owens. Go Jerry!

And the winner is Jerry Bennett in the "Car 54, Where Are you" car! Larry was at the scales with a beer for him!

Good job!

RE: "Car 54, where are you?"

IN THE WINNERS' CIRCLE!!!

Patsy, that show was last aired on network TV 46 years ago.... well before most of the people on this board were BORN! LOL

From Wikipedia: "The TV show's police cars used on location shots were actually bright red but on black and white film would appear dark, similar to that of real NYPD RMP units of that era (black and green with a white roof and trunk). Hence filmmakers achieved a realistic appearance without alarming bystanders during production."

So, Jerry even got the COLOR right!!!

Congratulations to their team for a great day of racing!
