"Live" from Houston - Page 2

Chris, We have not found the trailer yet, still looking.

Larry Hill · 03-26-2009, 12:58 PM

The only schedule that is up is for Friday. Super Street starts out at 8, then stock 1 time trial. Then we start right in to class. They're showing 3 rounds of class all on Friday morning. Saturday's schedule is not up, but I bet we go straight into eliminations on Saturday morning. I will check back later in the day and see if they post the schedule.

Lots more stockers have pulled in today. Teuton, Corda, Bratsen, Bob Shaw (by the way, he has to be 120 pounds heavier this weekend), Lusco, Fletcher.

Had a great lunch today. Charlie Ford brought us some local Texas chicken. And boy was it good. Not spicy hot, just good spices. Thanks, Charlie.

More later.

Well the rain is here. It is not raining hard. Just a heavy sprinkle. But everyone has their cars put up and have brought out the beer.

Found out Charlie Ford cooked the chicken. Fried it in a turkey fryer. Really good. And who would have thought he could cook!!

More later.

Hay, If he dose burgers you most definitely want to get in that line too ! They are Outstanding.

Charlie Ford · 03-26-2009, 06:20 PM

Patsy, we got back to the house about 6. We drove thru some heavy stuff on the way back here to Spring. Susie said it was really bad here. Lots of rain. My radar showed "possibly" some heavy stuff by the track. How's the pits??

Larry Hill · 03-26-2009, 07:40 PM

The pits are the "pits". The ditch between our motorhomes and the pro pits have lots of standing water now. We were sitting in Jeff Teuton's trailer talking with him and his wife Carolyn when all the heavy rain came thru. Couldn't even get out to get more beer and wine. It rained really hard for an hour or so. Hopefully it will be dried out by the time we leave here on Sunday. I'm just glad we are parked where we are and not back where Hidalgo and lots of stockers are. We have lots of sand here so maybe it will dry out a little quicker. They are still calling for more rain tonight. But it has cleared off a little for the time being. Well we are probably in for the evening since it is so messy out.

So more tomorrow.

Hi Guys. I just looked at the radar and it looks as though your in the clear at least for a while. The weather channel is only calling it a 30% chance for rain tomorrow, so the odds are in your favor. Looks like Saturday and Sunday will be pretty fast. Wish you guy's well in class and the eliminator.We won't see you until Joliet I guess.Stay well and say hello to everyone for us.Were going to miss you at Indy in April.

I think the rain is gone for the next 24 hrs(Slight chance). After that it's gonna' be beautiful. "Our" pits should drain quickly. It's been so dry here that all of the grounds should be good by tomorrow, not like 2 yrs ago!! See you guy's AM!!

Larry Hill · 03-27-2009, 09:07 AM

AA/SA should be fun to watch, Corda, Pendarvis, West and maybe more.

West changed his GTX to a Road Runner so the car would fit AA. The change was grill, badges,and "The Chicken" all nicely done.

We are on hold for wet track, more later.

Larry Hill · 03-27-2009, 10:00 AM

They just announced we are still probably 30 minutes away from racing. Trying to dry the top end of the track. It hasn't rained since last night, but the moisture is still in the air bad. The sun is trying to peek thru a bit but not enough to help yet. I just drove back thru the pits and everyone has their cars out. The last ones to come in after it rained are just parked on the roads. There have been a lot of changes in Class. Now in AA/SA are Corda, Fletcher, both Mick----,. Still in A/SA, us, Latino, Brannon.

I'm afraid it is looking more like a 1 shot deal for class. But maybe not--we will just have to wait and see.

I have already been out mud bogging this morning. Got stuck with my golf cart next to Teuton's motorhome. Larry, Jeff, and Jerry Newsome had to push me out. So now I have to park the golf cart in the trailer when I am not riding it.

More later.
