Thanks Toby! And also thanks for the kind words!

Well we broke out by .003, had a .013 light but Traupman had a .001! Oh well, that was a good race!

We are still here for the rest of the weekend, so I will continue to give updates. Now it is time for some Lime a Ritas, though!

You can also hold your mouse over the stars and it will tell you how many people have voted and what the average rating is.

Yes, that was a very good race. Not much you can do about that. Better luck next time.

Thanks for all the great reports!

Nice Pictures!

George, good to see the convertible racing again as it should.

What trans are you running? Jim

Good morning from Columbus! It is a really overcast morning with just a little peak of blue sky. It is suppose to get up to 93 today, but right now it is about 70. They are running super street round 1 now and super stock has been called up.

More later.

If you by chance see Michelle Furr tell her I said Hi. She's running super street and s/c. Very nice girl. Thanks, Floyd

Yup, Michelle's a good friend. Got to introduce my wife to her and the family yesterday.

Kept checking DRC last night for potential schedule changes. SS was originally scheduled for 9:30. Pulled in the gate at 9, and almost everyone was in the lanes already (although I still got there ahead of several folks again) At 9:30, they posted that SS would be at 9:00. Moral: get there early(er!)

Had a close race with Bobby Rashid this morning, .012 at the stripe. Barometer's up a tenth, humid, but starting to warm up and burn it off. Calm earlier, but the wind is picking up just a little and has shifted direction from the rest of the weekend.

Hey Michael, I talk with her all the time but haven't got to meet her and her family. My son has met them in Florida. Give her a hug for me.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, Larry.

Here are a few shots from close to the finish line of Super Stock round 2 this morning:
