The rest of these are just some shots from the past couple of days:

Sunset at the track with a little sliver of moon in the sky

Standing at the fence towards the end of the track

Staging lanes with palm trees and mountains in the background

Well another race has come and gone. We just went out for a great dinner at Binions Horseshoe Steakhouse down on Fremont Street. Great place for steak with great friends--Jeff Teuton and Kevin Helms.

We have the Gamblers race on Wednesday and Sema show this week, then the Division 7 points race next weekend. Hopefully we will do better racing !!! There are still lots of racers here waiting for the next race, More tomorrow!

Ditto...look forward to seeing Divisional AND Pomona reporting. Since you're already entered in Pomona I really look forward to yours and Toby's reporting. I'm sure Chris has got the business in good hands.

Jeff Teuton here. Starter issues, the Fast system has a starting problem and kicks back and breaks the starter. Jeff Taylor says they have a fix, but no one has b othered to tell us about it. That's not very good. We have now broken a MSD starter, a RobbMc (which is the original) and an ATI and knocked the side off a pro trans in the process. The schedule for the points race really sucks for stock and super stock. Stock's first time trial is about 8 pm friday night, ss is a little earlier. This is because the index classes with the big motors and throttle stops don't like a cold track, so they run two before we run one. We then get one around 2 pm, the race Sat night. Really sucks, but this is Div 7. I know we ran for two years about 800 or 900 cars in Bowling green on the normal sechedule at the points race before Indy. Unless I really have to be here again for points or something, you won't see this fat cajun this direction. As ususal it's always good to see a lot racers we normally don't see or see in Indy. Coming 1700 miles and can't pull to the line with two cars is disheartning to say the least. I understand California is just waiting for all the long rigs, but NHRA is working on it and should be fixed. I think nearly 50 pro rigs are involved as well as numerous sportsman. More later. Going to SEMA tomorrow.
