"Live" from Norwalk

[Larry Hill]

Well sorry I have been MIA, but we have been crying in our beer over our heads up race Hwith the mustang in the morning.
But you never know--we will be there 1st round with bells on. We are not one of the ones who don't show up when they have a heads up--You just never know. Wolfe did red-light all 3 of his runs today. I

I took some pics today, but the connection is so slow, I still don't have them uploaded.

We have been having a great time for our last night here. Fuller cooked some great steaks and then we went down for Larry to meet Drooze, but couldn't find him. So Janice Fuller and I joined Pam Marshall and Tonya Lynch over at Gary Parker's for a fun night. Then Mike came in and mooned us (with a little help from Janice). Mike may have a big hangover in the morning!! Hey Edmond, I won't tell your wife what you were doing! Of course, you had some chaperones there!

Well, I guess we are going to try to get a good nights sleep, so Larry can be the "Sacrificial Lamb" in the morning.

More later.

Superfan1 I think Jeggie has some things to correct before he brings his piece out again.

This reminds me of the first time I met Lee Zane. It was at the 2001 Memphis national event. Lee was just starting out in Stock and of course his Apollo wasn't the quickest car in the class and he was trying to avoid the other J/SA cars during qualifying. He thought he might have a heads-up race with George Widuch first round and was at the credential trailer waiting for them to post the ladder. Well, he found out that he did have a heads-up race with George. Then I guess somebody told him to have a nice trip home. Guess who this person was? It was none other than Larry Hill.

Well, Larry, I just have one thing to say to you:

Have a nice trip home!

Toby,

Yes I said that and I think George won that round.

This is Class Racing: heads up runs are the attraction. I will have a nice trip home.

[Larry Hill]

Well it is a beautiful morning here in Norwalk. They have already called us up. More later

[Larry Hill]

Well when you come to a gunfight with a butter knife, the results are usually obvious. And so it was. But Larry did what he could --picked up another tenth and had a .003 light, but it wasn't enough. drc has probably already posted, but we lost 10.41 to a 10.21. Oh well, we are packing up now, so more later when we get on the road.

I'm sure Larry was just clowning around, a lot of people take Larry far too seriously. And one thing is for sure, Larry can take it just as well as he can dish it out.

[Joe DeMarzo]

Larry. No one can win them all but I applaud you for the effort. As I tell anyone who will listen "do the best you can with what you have today".. You did that, safe trip home and keep your head high.

[Michael Beard]

You did good, Larry.

Most fun I've ever had losing was in my first-ever heads-up run, with Rusty Canfield. He had me covered by about .80 in qualifying, and only beat me by .20. Darn near felt like a win!
