Anybody Live in the Rock?

Just curious about the weather. Sorry I couldn't justify coming, but will see ya''ll next month somewhere.

I'll be there shortly. Won't have wheels to mount the new slicks on until Tuesday, but have a bunch of customer work to deliver.

Curious if ya'll think the weather is going to hold off? Hope it does for all who have made the tow.

Got up to TS and TD in the lanes when the first sprinkles hit, around 11am. Car count is down due to the forecast. Track was feast or famine... Some cars launching sky high, some of them hardly moving.

Most impressive run I saw (and Myron isn't going to want to hear this) was Terry Taylor... 6.73 @ 100 mph. Think he's in I/CM. (Good thing they gave them Chevys some HP back!). He asked me if I could make him some K's for the window.

Took a few pics, will post when I get home. Off to wander some more.

It would be interesting to know if he is running at "I" weight or "J" weight!

DRC says race is postponed until Aug 20-21. Looks like I made the right call this time by not going.

Michael Beard · 03-26-2011, 12:36 PM

Rain's picked up, race called and rescheduled for Aug 20-21.

Jr. Bryant debuted his new H/CM Duster, runnin' fast and looking sharp. While a lot of bracket cars have gone flat black in recent years, I think the hot rod satin black looks pretty cool.

Sorry I didn't get Super Stock pics. Got caught up in the pits talking to people about the Combo in the Hills event. Here, the Summit All Stars Champ Clay Bullard had his SS/Production Camaro loaded up when it started sprinkling. The door will be sporting some lettering in the future.

A.J. Currie hangs the hoops in his K/SA Camaro.

Phil Hilling's C/CM Camaro always looks good. I think his brother Lindell does his detailing! (The one with the black '55)

Charles Myers was looking to set the record, but Mother Nature cut out plans for a backup run.

"Scooter" Pearsall is enjoying his return to footbrake racing.

Is it going to be closed entry or will anyone still be able to enter in August?

herbjr · 03-26-2011, 02:59 PM

New entries accepted.

Dennis Pope and his E/FIA Camaro squares off with Missy Phillips' A/CM Nova

Lil' Kevin Riner makes a warmup run

Div. 9 R/U Hillarey Sloan is wheelin' a -=kaf!kaf!=- Chevy this year... at least while they work on some new toys for her Duster. Danny Waters, Sr. gets his back to cooperate long enough to make a lap in the Moser Engineering Quad-Cab Deuce.

Jamie Southards puts 'em up in the air alongside the sleeper G/FIA Caprice wagon of Corbitt Marshburn

Terry Taylor goes to the top of the qualifying sheet right out of the box with his new I/CM combination in the trusty Top Notch Corvette, running with Marvin Strickland's B/CM Camaro

Lee Truell paves the way for another competitive season in his C/CM Camaro
