NHRA Div. 3 Columbus race...

MR DERBY CITY · 07-22-2016, 11:41 AM

Not a good start here at Columbus, Super Stock out first and let's just say that the track wasn't up to snuff so with ominous black clouds approaching they sent a major portion of the cars back to the pits and began to scrape the track. As MR. Nssracer posted earlier ...then the rains came and we are still experiencing a small rain shower.....Man, I sure miss Mike Delahanty reporting.......

Why wasn't the track already scraped? Someone should have told them they were having a big event this week.

A small rain shower turned into a pretty large one for a while. Just stopped raining maybe 15 mins ago. They announced they're going to start from the beginning with SS, no runs made earlier will count if I understood correctly.

Not sure if this is a shame or a sham.

Is that a common problem @ Columbus ?

5:00 and Stock Q1 has just finished. A few cars spun but most appeared to have no issues. The Top 16 courtesy of D3TV.

Super Stock Q2 starts off Saturday with 30 minutes of downtime to clean up an exploded rear axle on the starting line. It requires a full 5 alarm clean up with track personnel, track cleaning Zamboni machine, roll back, jet dryer and power brush tractor.

MJ, yea I miss being there to visit with all my friends as well as the reporting. There was a time a couple of weeks ago where it looked like I would have the engine back in the car and make it, but the wrong Pistons showed up. They came back again earlier this week and ....... Wrong again. But with the heat and other drama you guys are starting the race weekend with I'm not feeling so bad right now. Pistons Are due back on Monday and everything else is just about ready to go back together. Looks like you along with Andrew are handling the reporting just fine. Stay cool. I hope to see you guys soon.
