"Live" from the Western Swing

Larry Hill · 07-02-2010, 01:16 PM

Put this under the heading of strange things seen on the road: In northern MO--2 people on bicycles towing a canoe on a dolly.

Awful things seen and smelled: In Iowa--corn drowned in the fields from the flooding of the Missouri River. The price of corn whiskey's gonna be up this winter!

If you thought you smelled something bad, just wait until you roll through Sioux City, IA! Referred to as the town of 7 smells. And not one of them is good.

Anyway, if you need to stop near Sioux City, let me know. Enjoy Thunder Valley in Marion, SD. I grew up there as a kid watching my dad race. A lot of good memories there. I know alot of racers planning on racing there this weekend. It should be a blast.

Good Luck and maybe we'll see you in Earlville again.

Thanks,

Going to drive up sat and watch no car yet, will have c12 c11 at the track with Bick and Monty Jones. If I have time I will bring a bottle of wine for miss Hill for her pit reports. Hope to see everyone tomorrow. Tom

Patsy, Glad to here you stopped at the QT and had a good experience. I retired from QT yesterday after 35 years. This is my retirement trip, same deal I preferred a racing trip to a cruise. I too look forward to sharing CA wine with you. We are leaving next week to be there early, I will start tasting the CA wines to make sure everything is OK! Keep us posted and safe travels. Paula

AT&T may have more bars in more places, but not in Marion, SD!

Mom and Dad made it there Friday afternoon around 4pm, but they have not had cell or internet service since leaving the interstate. They will post when they have coverage again.

Thanks for the laugh Chris! Guessing OnStar doesn't use AT&T...

Well it is another beautiful day here in Seattle. Stock just made our 1st run of 2 for the day. It is 80 degrees, DA 1860'. We spun a little, only a 1.40 60'. We ran a 10.39. They had Kelly Thomas as #1 at .88 under, DeFrank #2 at .85 under. But they had Cour in the wrong class. He went 10.14, but I couldn't see which class. Yesterday he had AA/SA on the window, but I don't know what he teched as.

More later.
