Live from the Sportsman Spectacular

Well yesterdays T&T had a couple bumps in it. A T/ S car (I beleave) crashed pretty hard the driver was OK and there where a couple big oil downs. The track was in great shape and the car count is way up from last year. I've even seen some new cars to a IHRA race. Yesterday DA was running around 2200/2500 ft, temp 87deg. Today theres a chance of rain but hopefully we'll be good. Wade Mahaffey put a in car camera in my car for a couple runs. that was interresting you sure do a lot of stuff in there that you don't think about. I'll try to get some photos today.

Well as you know the rains came. It rained earlier and they dryed the track and started time runs for Top, Mod & JD they also got in half of Top 1st round. Then it rained again about 9PM and that was it. Today is going to be a busy day with alot to get done. We had a cookout thanks to Calvin, Brenda, Heather & Teresa and the food was great as usual. Alot of friends came by and it was good see everyone. The weather for today is a chance of showers and warmer,hope they can get it done. Good luck to all.
