"Live" from Norwalk

THE LEGEND · 06-23-2010, 08:46 PM

X-techy,
The golf cart stories I heard were actually racers whom had consumed too many adult beverages.
Norwalk has really good night time security also. I remember one year my wife nad I got pulled by the security for going to get water for the rv after midnight.

XTECHMAN is dead on with an "0" Lock everything up during your qualifying because these scumbags watch and know your class and when you go to the lanes they will rip you off! Last year a very good friend of mine was running super gas and when he came back his wallet and credit cards and 700.00 in cash were gone from his trailer. They tracked the thieves through the credit card to find them having a field day at Walmart and a gas station. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED,

It is overcast this morning and 2100'. Lots of rain and storms last night. They were out early with the jet driers so hopefully the track is good to go. Oh, there has been a "Droozemobile" sighting by Larry a minute ago as he went out the motorhome door! All sportsmen get 3 runs today starting at 9. We run 2 rounds tomorrow starting at 8:30. They haven't called us up yet, but should soon. It has been sprinkling a little, but the radar looks good. Thanks for the warnings about the campers and others. We are parked in the middle of super gassers, so someone should be around when we are running.

More later.

We just made our 1st run. Air was 2425'. 58 cars went down. Ours stumbled badly off the starting line. Only went a 10.76. But at least it didn't oil down the track. Lynch was shut off at the starting line in the Droozemobile. I will let you know when I hear what happened. I don't know if live timing is working today, but lots of people were out of it at the end. Hopefully DRC will have the times up soon. Lots of new cars going fast.

Larry Hill · 06-24-2010, 11:18 AM

60 went down for 2nd pass. We picked up a tenth but are still slowwww. Fezell went a 9.51 at 143 again. Droozemobile still not fixed.

More later

Bill Bader told me it was NHRA call all the way, he wanted more cars. AS they have the room.

Alan Roehrich · 06-24-2010, 09:36 AM

Supposedly, it isn't all about parking anymore, it's also about the number of cars going down the track in a given event length. I'm betting NHRA has lost some money due to rain outs and events finishing on Monday. Sort of makes you wonder why they added more classes (if you add two classes, you have to reduce the car count in others). And why they moved some events to dates more likely to have rain.
