You really need to see this car up close. There are flames that are barely visible. Really nice!

It turned out to be a great day here at the track! It was windy all day, but only about 83. We start out in the morning with Super Street at 9 with time trials, then stock. As Bob said, everyone gets a time trial, then they are going to try to run 1st round of everything tomorrow. Rain is not looking on getting here til 5 or so on Sat. afternoon, then it doesn't look too good for early on Sun. But hopefully we will get the race in.

It was a pleasure seeing Bob Unkefer again and enjoying an adult beverage with him this afternoon. He always has great stories. Also enjoyed talking with Ray Buckner and Jerry Davis. Jerry made some spaghetti sauce that they were having for supper tonight. I'll have to find out tomorrow how it turned out!

More tomorrow!

Question:

With almost certain rain on Sunday, why not just run eliminations all day Saturday !!! *$^&^**&*$^#&&^$&%*^(

I guess Fl/burger was right, use up the available good weather to wear ya stuff out instead???!!!!

So by the time Larry changed the tire and then we stopped in Springfield, MO and bought 2 more (just in case), we lost a couple of hours today.

Hopefully tomorrow will go better and I will get some shots at the racetrack for you.

Oh, we passed a little convenience store that it looks like Bo Kenney might own. It was called the "Kum and Go"!

Bernie,
The plan is to run as MANY rounds of eliminations today as possible. There are always some cars that come in Friday night/Saturday morning and todays ONE session will give them a hit at the track, only 1 and then we get after it.

Well it is a beautiful morning here in Noble. The rain is still west of us and hopefully will stay away until tonight. A few cars have come in overnight, so they will get their 1st run today along with everyone else. The temp is 71 now and the air is about 300' better than yesterday. Super Street and Stock have already been called up and we are starting earlier than scheduled. We run 1st round very quickly this morning since the car count is so low.

More later!
