Not so LIVE from Charlotte.....

thomas sheehan · 09-16-2010, 09:41 PM

Hi everyone.

First off (Not so LIVE... means i'm posting from the hotel tonite... no live connection from the track).

Now... we had a Beautiful day here in Charlotte (90 degrees, 33% hum, 29.49 baro, huge tailwind, and a sweet downhill track).
I managed to get a few pics even though we had a engine disaster after the 2nd qualifying pass.
We managed to borrow a cherry picker from Kenny Horne, imstalled our spare 318, and hope to dial it in with our one tt tomorrow before rd 1.

Also found my cheap little Nikon Coolpix sux at zoom pics from the upper deck. (but I'll post them anyway).

Here goes........

Starting with our engine change

great pics Tom. Sorry to hear about the engine. Good luck tomorrow.
I'll be at Pittsburgh Raceway Park this Sat for the PID Reunion and Tri-State Stock-Super Stock race. I think Withers is going there with his SS/C AMX too.

Good morning from Charlotte.

Weather is supposed to be th same as yesterday, (however) with a 20% chance of an isolated thunderstorm.

We get one tt this morning and then right into rd 1.

BEWARE....If you are at the track and did not hear about it, please lock up your valuables. Several trailers were raided (in broad daylight) yesterday morning while we were in the lanes. One story we heard was wallets were stolen. Police said stolen credit cards were used a mile from the track, but nobody arrests were made yet. HOPE THEY ARE CAUGHT!
