Re: "Live" from Belle Rose, LA
Sorry, been 1st pair out and haven't gotten to see anything. (Not much for lollygagging).
 . Teuton sed he was off his rocker, or had a rocker come off earlier. Repaired, then we ended up running 1st rnd, and he had problems again.  Had a 10.70 on the window FWIW. Pairings were just however we pulled in the lanes, with a random potential bye drawn. If odd, last Stocker would run a SS car.Hooked that time, and again 2nd round of No-Box, where I got by on a .005 double breakout. Sun's going down now, down to 90deg (woohoo!), so the track should be good from here out. And things are probably going to start going really fast. Didn't make the 75 car threshold, so 1 Rnd of buybacks @ $30. Fair enough.

Re: "Live" from Belle Rose, LA
Had a great race with the pup (Hidalgo Jr)... 1 number different on the tree, double breakout .009. Still in No-Box as well after 3 Rnds.
Finally got to see some Super Stockers... Lots of really nice stuff here. Latino, Hebert, Emmons, the Volare and Avenger/Sebring? out of the Caro camp, Larry Stewart, Teuton's Duster and I think two from the Kent camp. Looks like Warren Birkett busted an axle or something... Had it pushed off to the side w/ the left rear off. Teuton said he just spun against me... Duster's been perfect all day, but having bad trouble hooking the Challenger. Hebert ran out by .001 2nd Rnd... Emmons is in.. Country Dog carrying the wait n' see bye to the 3rd rnd.

. No, they were just trying to find something with an index close to H/CM.Got to bed about 2:30am, up at 7:40am. Ran the generator all night to run the fan in the tent... Made it decent. Had a refreshing shower, then planned to make the 30min drive to Gonzales to find a Wally World to stock up on fruit, Powerade, ice, and some other such goodies... Only to find the right rear tire on the truck flat! Always a PITA to change, but when done, made up my mind I was still going to the store, knowing I would miss a time trial or two. Got back in time for the S/SS run. Was going everything in my head, and kept thinking I forgot something. Bump in to Stage.... Ah! Still have my clip-on shades on! Whipped them off and jumped on the converter... Bang, .009.  . Best run of the weekend, 60' .04 faster than yesterday, and an 11.10, compared to yesterday's early-day 11.29. Track's definitely better. Just a little overcast, helping things out.Racer's Appreciation Luncheon!!!! Gotta jet.

Re: "Live" from Belle Rose, LA
Didn't make it to the luncheon, as they called No-Box. Had the bye from last night's win. Good thing, as the sun came out, and we're back to blowing the tires off.
Will see if I can muddle through. Couple new entries today, Jarrod Granier among them.

Re: "Live" from Belle Rose, LA
Mystery solved... Radials are down to cords. They're weren't that old, or so I thought. Runs add up QUICK when you're double-entering 3 races per weekend. My fault. Still in going into 4th rnd of No-Box, though.
Gonna try to get some miles under my belt tonight. Wore out! (Me and the car both!)
