Live From The Spokane LODRS

Toby Lang · 07-30-2010, 11:22 AM

We're here at the Northwest Thunderfest at Spokane County Raceway in Spokane, WA. I had a nice trip over here. A little warm, but no tire issues.

It rained here a little bit this morning. Not very hard, but just enough to get the ground wet. The ground is dry and it's barely sprinkling on and off now.

They have a pretty lazy schedule here this weekend. Tech opens at 10AM today and qualifying starts at noon and ends at 6PM. That's when they bring out the alcohol cars, nostalgia funny cars and jet cars. Qualifying starts at noon tomorrow also. Eliminations start at 10AM on Sunday.

We are pitted along the road course and will be parking the cars on the road, so I don't foresee any goat head problems in this area.

I'll go and get some pictures of the track.

The sun is trying to peek out, but hasn't quite made an appearance yet. There should be a few cars here we normally don't see on the coast. I'll try to get pictures of them all.

Here's some shots looking towards the track from our pits:

That layout, of the track looks like South Georgia Motorsport Park. I like it. Good job and keep the pictures coming.

Hey now. We got three qualifying runs today. Hold on ... as I type this they just announced there will be a fourth qualifying run. Other than that there's not much to report. I didn't get many pictures. There are not that many cars here so when I get to the lanes I barely have time to get ready for the run let alone take any pictures. The last time run I thought I would get up there early so I could get some shots. I was third in line, but about 2 minutes after I got there they started running Stock.

Most of the cars you have seen multiple times. I tried to get pictures of the cars I haven't posted before. I'll try to get more pictures tomorrow. If you have any requests let me know.
