Hey Robbie,

If you are still at the track try and go by the white Mustang II of Bob Elliot and tell him an old retired Navy submarine hunter wishes him luck and thank him for his service (I saw his ball cap).

Same to all of you veterans out there racing or not on this anniversary of one of our darkest days here in America (9/11).

Spoke with a good source last night ( #1 Comp) as of last night. Track was North of 150 and they went right down Main Street! Heard they dumped 5k gal water to cool track for late q rounds. Great job !

So thankful I changed my mind about attending this race! I just can't function in that kinda heat! Hopefully it cools down for October.

Hey Ray, when I see him I'll show him your post. More than happy to do it. Thank you for your service!

Robbie, thanks for all the pictures.

Everyone, please stay hydrated and safe. I don't like HOT.

Is the Mustang that Bob Elliott driving B.J. Graham's old car?? R.I.P. B.J.

RobbieRacer · 09-10-2021, 12:15 PM

Yes it is.

Don't just hydrate with water. You need something else like gator ade or some electrolytes. Just water will cause cramps.

A few years back we were at Bakersfield for a Heritage race. I was running d/g and one of our group was running a/g It was brutally hot and he was pouring water down his throat like there was no tomorrow. I told him get some gator ade or at least some salt tablets. He kept saying he would be okay. Got to the track the next morning and he came and apologized. Said he should have listened to me. He had cramps so bad in the middle of the night he had to call 911. Nothing but water will wash all the nutrients out of your system.
Be careful.

When the locals stay home, you know you messed up. I would give everybody 2 grade points for showing up, cancel and refund entry for second race and maybe have a tow vehicle/ street car gambler or dash for cash on Saturday night so you could race with the AC on. Gary probably just needs to put the belt back on his highly-modified Z-24 for the AC to work again. Also, spectators should be allowed in the VIP suites, should be room in there for all 5 of 'em!

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.
