"Live" from the Gators 2014 - Page 8

Thanks everyone! And thanks to you, Robert for putting up pics of our car!

Well folks, it is COLD out there! It is 36 with 90% humidity. The track driers are going. We are supposed to run in 20 minutes and they haven't started calling us up yet. Larry is one of the first 3 pair to go out, so he is ready!

Yesterday was very busy with time trials and class. I looked at my watch and it was 4:00 and I didn't have a clue it was that late! Anyway we had a good day and a great meal last night at Cedar River Seafood with great friends! Al and Bev, Jim and Pam, Jim Roberts and Randy Eakins made the meal just a great time!

Well we are ready to roll!

More later!

Shouldn't "Doudle A Auto" be SS/AAA?? More confusion....

I`m with ya on the Confusion, Mr. Oakes ran the Watson CJ In Class on the 8.80 SS/AA Index

I think that this is correct, he is in the incorrect class. Shame on tech guys for not catching it...if he is in the wrong class. He has to dial index and may not run it in elims.

Anybody heard why they aren't showing the index on the boards in comp?

Some of the best runs of the event. GT/J Final great race, side by side the entire track, and then the Stock auto final. R/SA Caprice vs Skillman in his AAAAAAA/SA Mustang. It looks like the caprice drilled the tree and won!, 14.05 index vs 10.00! Great race. But first rd qual of stock was crazy. The lime green charger clipped the sign in front of the tree, crazy wheels up and immediate right turn in the air, all was good. Mickey Whaley looked to almost put his on one tire then went to the center line. Darren Pool(sp?) Did one crazy wheel stand, dragging the bumper to at least 200' pedaled it once and then gone. Randy in her pontiac did the most perfect wheel stands I have seen in a long time and bad fast! Really had a great time yesterday. There was some incidents, a couple engine in the super classes, one of the super charged mustang looked like it ate itself and Brad Ploud appeared to start smoking on the other end very badly but he was back fro the next run so all is good. Wish every one the best of luck today. Also met some great guys and gals, Larry Hill and Mrs Patsy, The Phil Colms and Randal Camball.

Looks like several cars were a close to a tenth off the dial in Super Stock. Was this due to the track conditions/wheel stands/weather/ etc..? Great .009 package by Ronnie Dutton.
