Hey Randy,
where are you? Saw all your co-horts: Painter and Woodro. Woodro has been to the dentist all afternoon, so he wasn't feeling too well.

BBQ was great. Thanks Midstate RV!

Just came back for a bathroom break and a refill.

Weather is looking great for the rest of the weekend. So if you aren't here already, come on down. You haven't missed anything yet. Talked with Edmond earlier. He needs to win to take over the lead. Still haven't seen Fletcher or Biondo, but I would bet they are here.

Only 1 thing bad about here. You would think we were in Hillbilly Hollywood (Nashville) with the choice of music. How about some good old rock and roll?

More later.

Well it is a beautiful day here in Reynolds. 54 degrees now, supposed to be 82 later. Super street has been called up and stock is next. They just announced they are trying to get in 2 time trials for everyone today and NO first rounds today. So I guess I better thaw out those ribs to cook tonight. I'm sure DRC will be posting qualifying so I will post more later.

Biondo HAS to be there, he needs this divisional to have a shot at the world.

Fletcher showed up over night @ the Rock for the IHRA finals, One shot qualifier in Stk & SS before 1st rd, later today. His one shot in stock pairs him up with Hillary Sloan for rd 1 and I'm standing here looking @ SS in the lanes right now (as we're cleaning up a S/R oil down).

Weather should be good for both events for the rest of the weekend. DRC will keep us all posted on what's happening as the weekend rolls on. Be interesting @ BOTH events.

Unk

Larry Hill · 10-20-2007, 10:40 AM

60 stockers here for the 1st run. Biondo, Wilkes, someone that I did not understand the name, but they said he was from Washington. It wasn't Mark Faul's car, but I don't know who else would be here from Washington. Mattingly is here from Division 3 trying to knock off Greg Hill from the top. Al Provoast's old car is here driven by Dickenson. Kevin Haguuard from Div. 5 is here. No Emmons. That was a surprise. Austin Ford is a long way from home, too. I'm sure DRC will have everything up soon. Gotta cook breakfast now.

Patsy,
That driver from Washington is probably Brad Plourd. He was in Noble last week and dependent upon how he did was or wasn't going to Reynolds,,,,,, guess he did.

Unk

Larry Hill · 10-20-2007, 11:45 AM

Bob, you are right, it is Brad Plourd. Qualifying sheet is up. Duzac #1 at -1.16 under. 4 are DQ, probably all fuel. Charlie Ford said their fuel was the same as they ran last week in Noble and it did not pass. They are running SC now and then we run again. So we will be done for the day and ready to drink and cook some ribs.
Air was 1200' on the first run. 68 degrees. It has warmed up quite a bit.
More later.

Larry Hill · 10-20-2007, 12:58 PM

I see 1st round is up. We just ran the 2nd session. 62 cars went down that time. We picked up a little. Air was1600'. They should have final qualifying and the ladder up soon. But we are not running 1st round until tomorrow.

More later.

Patsy the Emmons Bros. wanted me to ask you a question...If your motor home was broke down (or Tv,computer ect.ect.) Would you be..."Fixing to Fix it" ????? LOL

Larry Hill · 10-20-2007, 08:48 PM

Sure I woud be "fixing to fix it"! You wouldn't be making fun of my Kentucky up-bringing, would you? LOL

Well we have been waiting around all day for them to put up a ladder and now it is up. They said only 62 cars went down, but they had 65 tech cards turned in. Just saw the ladder and 2 cars have been put on the bottom of the qualifying sheet that never went down the track. Larry just went up to find out what happened. With this being the last points race, a 62 car field is only 6 rounds with the winner only getting 95 and the runner up 84 points. With those 2 added at the end, it makes it a 7 round race with 105 and 94 points.

I thought you had to go down the track to get on the sheet. Those last 2 could get a grade point and 10 points for passing tech, but I thought you had to go down the track to get on the qualifying sheet. Anybody know for sure? I will let you know what Larry was told when he gets back.

By the way, I have met some really nice folks this weekend. Jimmy and Sandra Parker with Craig Couris's new corvette that will run AA/SA next year. Also saw Mr. Bigg this afternoon. Harold Culpepper and his grandson Wesley came over and ate ribs with us tonight. Talked to Cliff and Jana Riegle this afternoon.

Well more later.

Larry Hill · 10-20-2007, 09:27 PM

Well, Larry just came back with the skinny! The reason Ingram and Cobb got put on the bottom of the sheet is because qualifying on Friday was rained out. In that case it is at the Division Directors discretion to put them at the bottom of the sheet.

BTW, does anyone know Ron Cobb from Dearborn, MI? We just looked him up in the National points and he is showing 40 points: 10 points each from 4 divisional races. And now he is going to get 30 more and has never been down the racetrack?????

More later.
