More dried up River
I guess when it rains here they will all be excited!

This morning the weather forecast was not looking too good. Maybe even up to 5 inches of rain in spotty areas. Hopefully this won't be one of the spots.

Patsy, watch out for that red mud!! It's really sticky stuff.

Good luck,

Well it is an overcast morning here in OK. It is not calling for rain today, so hopefully we will get our 2 runs in. There has been a steady stream of rigs coming in all morning. Super Street is first out and they should be calling them up shortly.

Chuck, hopefully we won't be getting into any of that red mud! (But I brought an extra pair of shoes, just in case!)

Gary, come over and introduce yourself when we get to Phoenix!

More later.

I see Thunder Valley is listed on the live timing site but is showing off line. If someone is near the tower, tell them to turn it on as us arm chair drag racers are intrested in watching it. Thanks for the great reporting and we'll see you in Vegas.

So by the time Larry changed the tire and then we stopped in Springfield, MO and bought 2 more (just in case), we lost a couple of hours today.

Hopefully tomorrow will go better and I will get some shots at the racetrack for you.

Oh, we passed a little convenience store that it looks like Bo Kenney might own. It was called the "Kum and Go"!

Bernie,
The plan is to run as MANY rounds of eliminations today as possible. There are always some cars that come in Friday night/Saturday morning and todays ONE session will give them a hit at the track, only 1 and then we get after it.

Well it is a beautiful morning here in Noble. The rain is still west of us and hopefully will stay away until tonight. A few cars have come in overnight, so they will get their 1st run today along with everyone else. The temp is 71 now and the air is about 300' better than yesterday. Super Street and Stock have already been called up and we are starting earlier than scheduled. We run 1st round very quickly this morning since the car count is so low.

More later!
