"Live" from Norwalk Summit Nationals - Page 2

Mike Fuller · 07-03-2012, 07:59 AM

NHRA has posted a detailed run schedule , and it only shows six rounds of stock. At this time there are 65 cars entered,so if everyone shows up there will have to be seven rounds if my math is correct. I suspect they believe that there will be at least one no show.

On another note, we had a pretty strong storm at our place Sunday with half dollar size hail. I discovered last night it broke the two vent covers on my trailer. I will need to fix them before I can head out. If anybody has some advice about this I would appreciate the information.

I plan on being there sometime tomorrow. See you all then.

LOL. Is that what a "drive-by" on Oklahoma is called? Here in Pennsyltucky, a drive-by is when the Amish buggy drives by and the horse takes a dump on the road in front of my house.

Heads up in Linders lot. Storming now here in Fremont, approx. 30 miles west of you, wind gusts heavy rain. Will most likely go directly to you. So if you've got the awnings out I'd pull them in. Joe

Hi Larry, how are things looking in Linders lot with the rain?

Joe, we were out to lunch while it was raining, but it looks like it rained pretty hard. It was so dry here though that it really isn't looking muddy. I don't know how it will be when everyone starts pulling out and parking in the morning, but right now it is not bad.

Ralph Cardamone · 07-03-2012, 04:38 PM

Rumor has it we maybe getting in about 9am for those of you who have left and your rigs here. This way you will not be blind sided .

Jeff Teuton · 07-03-2012, 10:22 PM

Allright Hills, we need some gossip;, inuendo, or whatever you got. You gotta watch the Oaklahoma people, they got lots of secrets. Let us know. July 4, we are really needing something since we aint there. You and Miss Patsy are expected in Denver. Cotten already there. Me and mama are going along with a few dogs and Kevin and John. Yall gotta go just to protect your self. Keep us posted.

Larry Hill · 07-03-2012, 11:28 PM

Sorry Jeff, but we have a divisional race in Columbus, then a nice visit with Al and Bev Provoast, then a divisional in Stanton while you are in Denver. Besides, Larry says he is not going back to Denver! I am sure you and Miss Carolyn and Mike and Paula will have great fun there!

Well we are under a tornado warning here in Norwalk according to Paula's cellphone. But there are stars out~

Larry, Mike and Eric went to Cleveland tonight to watch an Indians game. That is one of the teams that Eric used to play for. All us girls stayed home and played Phase 10 and Mexican dominoes. There were texts from the guys saying they were having fun, but I think they were in a rain delay so they are headed back.

We should be moving over to the track in the morning around 9, so more tomorrow.

Larry Hill · 07-04-2012, 08:45 AM

Well it is 8:45 and everyone is ready to move on over. The people with the credentials and not here handing them out yet. Maybe they are going to do like Chicago and give them to you as you go out the gate. It did not do anything but sprinkle here overnight, so Linders Lot is not muddy now. I don't know how it will be when everyone starts moving. It is already hot here. Supposed to be 90's today.

More later
