Patsy,

I miss your food! I was going to come down last night but I talked to Paul and he told me it was a better idea to stay home. Glad I did. I will........ see you at Indy if you are coming up, rain or shine.

STILL raining.

Pete Beau · 09-27-2009, 05:53 AM

Better call-up a few local farmers and bring in the tractors. Good luck!

Well after raining, thunder and lightning til about 4 this morning, it finally stopped. Then started again about 7. That was when we decided to pack up and head home. Larry, Chris and I all have to work tomorrow and it is a 10 hour drive home. So we are now on the road almost back to Columbus. It had stopped raining at the track and the sun looked like it was trying to come out, but then it started raining again after we were on I-70. We saw Dave Edwards leaving too and someone said Terry Nagle had left also. We were supposed to run Brent Darroch this morning and he had not gotten a time trial, so I guess he will get one today

.
Sorry I didn't get any more pictures than I did, but nobody got their cars out of their trailers all day Sat. Maybe I can get some for you next week in Memphis.

Well I guess that is all for now, but I will be back on about Thurs. next week.

Hope everyone has a safe trip home and don't have to get pulled out. We were parked on the rock road so we didn't have any problem, but the ground is really saturated and lots of mud puddles.

Patsy I think I read some place that they were allowing people to withdraw, that way the entry fee isn't all lost.

442OLDS · 09-27-2009, 09:59 AM

I just asked at the main gate and they had no knowledge of this.I see no way that this race will finish today right now.

Looks like weepers again.

I think this is only for folks who came in after qualifying Friday night and Saturday.

Man, am I glad we decided to come on home. We already have the motorhome unloaded and they haven't even run the 2nd round yet!

and am I glad I decided to stay home!!!

Nothing posted on DRC past third round. Did they finish? Are they racing today?

Or did they decide to have a .400 pro tree practice tree tournament with no roll out adjustment so that the person who simply has the fastest reflexes wins to decide champions like they did at the IHRA Bracket Finals in Pittsburgh?
