Live from the Bakersfield LODRS

Toby Lang · 05-19-2011, 02:53 PM

I forgot that the data service for Sprint is almost nonexistent here. So, I don't know how often I'll be able to post. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post any video either. I will try, but I'm not sure how fast it will be. Sometimes it takes an hour to get connected, sometimes it connects right away. And if you don't use it, it will disconnect and you have to try to connect again. I will still take video, but I might not be able to post it until I get home. I'll just have to see how it goes.

Today is test 'n' tune day. It starts at 12 and ends at 7:30.

Looks like it's going to be a great weekend for racing with a high of 77 today, 84 tomorrow, 83 on Saturday and 79 on Sunday with a zero percent chance of rain for all four days.

If there's anybody here who has internet access, please feel free to post updates, pictures, video or whatever. More later ... I hope.

Saturday's schedule isn't up yet. I will post it when it's up and I can connect.

Here's the test 'n' tune from yesterday. Highlights: A Julie Jordan sighting at 3:33 and Jimmy D gets a little bit more air than usual at 4:14:

This will probably be the only video I'll be posting until I get home.

Here's Steve Wann's wheel stand from yesterday morning's run. I tried to isolate Steve by cropping out some of the background. Watch his right rear wheel just before John passes him. It's in 720p also.

Bakersfield was my home track '96,'97 and '98. Your reports sure bring back some fond memories. Great place to race, but it can sure get hot. Although, Ididn't sweat until I returned to Louisiana in July. Keep up the good work, guys!

The first round of stock is over and this will produce a heads up in the 2nd round between Toby Lang and Ron Bradley. Toby appears to be slower but is well known for pulling rabbits out of a hat. Here are more pictures from yesterdays time trials.
