Hi gang - sorry I can't be with you at VMP or even doing some "Live " reporting but between some unforseen things happening at work and a nagging health issue it just wasn't in the cards this weekend .........but soon .

Did you notice - 1) Our own S/S standout - Lincoln Morehead is on the pole in Comp
2)Billy Leber decided to show up at a LODRS in both his STK &S/S
3) Bob Letellier brought out his new COPO in SS/CA
4)Bo Kenney on the S/S pole with his '12 Ponycar SS/AAA @-1.075
5)Penny Bender- who is driving at her first LODRS- got a tough draw first round facing the #5 guy in world last year - Joe Lisa

More later .... maybe ! ! !

I was very happy to see Penny win her first round in NHRA, I couldn't be happier for Bob and Penny. Sorry everyone but I have to hit the road. This is my last report from VMP, some family issues came up and I need to get home.

The only thing I can say about first round for stk was that many missed there dial. Weather should have been about 3 slower but it was more like 6. So lots of cars were not ruining there dial in.

I will be at the 4 wide next week, look for some more in car cams along a pit cam.... see everyone next week.

Heads-up city in Stock next round --- C/SA Gary Richard v Bubba Linke
G/SA Billy Pires v Mike Quartarone
B/SA Larry Pappas v Dave Ficacci
B/SA Joel Warren v Raymond Skipper

Go Penny ...........
