Yes, Ed F. promised he'd get James P. and Chris Wertman in the picture w/them all as well....although it makes interesting (not always good) reading when things are quiet here, I'd like to see Chris & James sit down and enjoy a couple of cold brewskys together at Norwalk, and bury the hatchet that's been sometimes flying thru the air on the site.....Wishing everyone there this wknd a trip to the final round....along with excellent racing weather.

Patsy --Too bad you guys are getting poured on ............and I'm not even in the vicinity --can you imagine that ! ! ! Better get inside and pour some drinks ..................

Just got back from a wonderful dinner with Mike and Janice Fuller at an italian place in Sandusky called Danny Boys. It is at 6207 Milan Rd. I had the best fetticine alfredo ever. It is probably 10 miles from the track and well worth the drive.

We met the famous Fast Eddie this afternoon, but Drooze wasn't here yet. Keith Lynch is going to be driving his car. I am sure with Keith driving, he will run it all out. They let people in tonight past 6 and was also teching past 6.

The water all soaked in pretty well and I haven't seen anyone getting stuck even after all the rain.

One thing I have noticed here is they let the spectators camp here inside with the racers. I haven't seen any problems with it yet, but it doesn't seem like too good an idea--except for the track to make more money. I guess that is why there are only 60 stock and superstockers here, so they can have more room for the spectators to camp.

We have not seen a schedule for tomorrow posted anywhere. We are assuming that we start with stock in the morning at 9, but nobody knows for sure.

Well we have had a long day and a short night last night, so I think it is beddy-bye for us for tonight.

I will get out with my camera tomorrow and get you some pictures. I haven't seen James Perrone yet, but Fast Eddie said he didn't want his picture taken with him!

More later.

Patsy,
Go hang out with the campers. Lots of fun to be had there. They love the racers and for the most part are looking for a good time.
Good Luck with the weather too. Looks like bad storms up there.
I can honestly say I never went to Norwalk that it did'nt rain.

Make sure you keep your motor home, and trailer closed up and locked at night and when Larry is running. Do not leave ANYTHING outside. Put your golf cart away in the trailer. Not all of those campers are honest and mean well. You will hear lots of stories of stolen golf carts taken on joy rides by the drunks in the middle of the night. .

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,

Anybody know how many Grading Points it took for Stock at Norwalk and when was entry cut off date??
Thanks

Larry Hill · 06-24-2010, 07:33 AM

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.
