Live from Bowling Green, KY Lucas Oil race!

Well, we are finally on our way. Should be there by 4 or so. Hopefully in time to get a couple of runs in the test n tune. I talked to Jerry Bennett a little while ago and he said there are lots of people there already. So I will give you an update when we get there and parked.

More later! Oh, it is a beautiful day, sunny and 80's. Supposed to be in the 50's tonight and a wonderful weekend ahead!

Well we got here and got parked by about 4:30, but decided we didn't have time for much test n tune. There are tons of cars here. We saw lots of division 2 and 4 cars as well as division 1 and 3. Some notables seen earlier tonight. John Calvert in his A/S car getting ready for the A/S Challenge at Indy. John Armstrong is here from Canada with his SS/AA Corvette. All the Teutons are here from LA. Jimmy and Sandra Parker from Div. 2. Talked with Jerry Emmons, (his shirt didn't have his name, so I had to ask which one he was). Their compound is very impressive along with the Lucas Oil cars of the Forbes, too.

Many thanks to Quik Fuel for putting on the Bar-b-que dinner tonight. It was very good, along with the beer, too. At one time, I had a beer in one hand and a glass of wine in the other! A great night!

Well, they are going to be parking all night here tonight. There is still plenty of space all the way down at the end of the track where we are. We have a pretty good spot. Go down to where the road forks and we are just off the pavement if you take the right fork.

Well more tomorrow. We had a long night last night and a long day today. We start at 9 tomorrow and we are out 2nd, just after super street.

Good night.

Definitely wish I was there this weekend, have fun everybody.

Hammer, I will try to keep you up to date this weekend.

Andrew, I bet you having more fun up there at Notre Dame ! Study hard and make us all proud!

Well it is 65 degrees here this morning, heading to 88 later in the day. Sunny and pleasant! Rigs were pulling in all night readying for a 9:00 start this morning.

More after I get out and about.

Do they have a Formula SAE at Nortre Dame? That would be fun.

[Larry Hill]

We had 96 cars go down first pass. Robbie Shaw gets the wheelie award for that run and probably the weekend. He rode way, way out. We are in B/SA this weekend and went a 10.50. The air is good, but not great. Lots of out of division cars here. Didn't see any blistering fast runs. Lots are not running all out. More later.

Oh, Gene Monahan said to tell his wife, Kathy that "He loves her and misses her". I think that was really nice!

!

Folks must be pretty confident their combo can go .9-1.0 under at Indy, which it will probably take....any DRC sightings??

[Larry Hill]

The DA was 1725' that run. #1-Greg Hill 1.03 under, #2-Irvin Johns-1.02 under (@110 mph).

I wish, but they don't.

Also I don't know about school being more fun than racing. I wish Bowling Green was closer so I could do both.
