It has stopped raining at the big end of the track. They have been vaccumming for a while. It looks like we might have a little window to get in just a little of racing and then it looks like there could be lots again this afternoon. There have not been any announcements on the radio of any changes yet.

We had a very nice dinner last night hosted by Wendy Tysinger and her Co. Tysinger Productions ( I think). This is Joe and Alice's daughter. Here are a few pics from last night:

That is Wendy in the middle and Mom Alice. Also Abbey, Bob and Kathy Bagley and another friend of Wendy's.

Jim Marshall, Theresa Cook, Pam Marshall and Tom from Honda

Larry and Rusty Cook. Rusty is the Division 2 rep in Super Gas for the Jegs race in Chicago. Congrats, Rusty!

Roy Hill and gang! Mike and Heather and a couple of other guys that I am sorry I can't remember their names!!

Jeffery, Christian, and Joe Tysinger

Michael Volkman in the middle and others

Two on the right are Renee and Gary Bingham - Renee will be on the clocks this weekend and the two of them are the heart of Godspeed Ministries - the IHRA and PDRA RFC equivalent. Good people. Gary was IHRA Top Sportsman champion a few times, runs Top Dragster now whenever he can fit it into his schedule, also does tech and pit steward and race director stuff for PDRA.

Thanks, Larry for identifying Renee and Gary!

Well we have an announcement that Stock is out in about 20 minutes!! The sun is starting to peek thru!!

Larry Hill · 04-22-2016, 12:49 PM

We just ran probably our only qualifying run for today! We were the fastest A/SA car, so we should get the trophy. 55 cars went down. Super stock running now.

Before anyone makes a comment about this being the Stk/SS, please understand this a part of history and I think it worthy for all racers and fans to see. I talked to a few Super Comp drivers about the 4 wide experience. Many were concerned and still are, but some did say with a little smile, it was kind of cool. Personally I thought it was very cool to watch and for the most part it went well.

Super Stock is just finishing up, I don't know what the plan is for the rest of the day. Its cloudy and it could rain anytime.

How about running Class 4 wide maybe that will get some horsepower inline faster. I don't think you could get 4 people to agree to the 1000ft race.

HR9121 · 04-22-2016, 02:54 PM

I timed in to the all access to watch stock and watched the Super Comp time trial and thought it was pretty cool. I was also really impressed with the reaction times these guys throwed down, I thought it may be a little confusing to some of them but to their credit it didn't seem to affect hardly none of them.

Larry Hill · 04-22-2016, 03:59 PM

Well after going up and about 6 cars running for the 2nd qualifier and then being sent back because of rain, ;then going back up to finish up, we are still the fastest A/SA. And we made our fastest run ever. 9.97 @ 131.

They are running Top Sportsmen now and may get in the rest of the show today!

More later!
