Agreed, and The Arizona State Fair people are who to thank for it. They initially wanted to have the fair during our October dates, and then they waited until either late July (or early August to change their mind). Thus making it too close to this date to change anything.😠

Highly-modified? My car? That's ROLOL funny! The belt is still on, just a smaller one since my compressor was removed (along with the other power robbers the rules allowed me to remove). However, it's great to know I ran a 15.184 in the morning session today with a DA of 《4k ft., and an air temperature of 88 degrees!

[QUOTE=GTS340;647642]Jerry Stein, William North and Greg Luneack were no shows first round of stock. Did they break, go home or get heat exhaustion? Also two no shows in Superstock and John Irving broke in first round of Superstock. Not easy on drivers and cars.

Did not really break my car exactly

When there was an Oil Down right before our pair = I backed out of the water box
and Jon ran out and opened both doors and the hood. It felt like I was about to pass
out and my cage and equipment do not want to let me get out real easily and I did not
realize the length of time the clean up would take. When it was time to run - Jon did not
get the hood closed correctly and when I left the line it popped up onto the safety latch and I
had to lift.

In Stock not much better = I left holding 7 or 8 Hundreds on my opponent. So much Sweat
pouring out of my Helmet into my eyes that I literally could not see the finish line AND took
over a car length plus at the finish and broke out by a few thousands.
I thought it was raining inside the Demon = I was that darn wet!!

110 Degrees and the heat shimmering off the Asphalt are not for 70 + Racers!!

Were they checking face masks in the pits?

From what has been beaten over my head is that heat propagates the Chinese Virus.

Doesn't sound that fun John. Glad you didn't break something. Better safe than sorry to skip the second race. Drive safe on the way home.

No apparent Mask Enforcement

Nope.......That I observed at the race
although signs were present warning you.

RobbieRacer · 09-11-2021, 03:43 PM

So it gets even weirder. They ran 1st round of stock. Now we take a 5.5 hour break

GTX JOHN · 09-11-2021, 06:21 PM

Well I got my Second Wind when I found out
the second race was reduced to a one day deal
and reentered the race again

However, apparently I made the mistake of passing
that Wind in the first round of Stock Eliminator in High Gear.
Which must of caused me to break out by -015 to Chris' .-007. =
If I just could have just made it another 100 Feet!.

It is tough being Old and Fat in this Heat!

John did you really just admit to passing wind at the finish line in Round 1? With the windows up? You're a bigger man than I!!!!!!

Bob Mulry · 09-11-2021, 07:03 PM

I remember the GOOD old days when the D7 race at Phoenix was the weekend before the WinterNationals…

It was a great way to start the season and it even made sense
