Been a while but its nice to get back on the road. Sitting at the Walmart in Idaho Falls watching some football with our good friend Terry Hembree. Took the summer off racing. Seems like forever since we've been racing. Time to update the equipment. Freshened Charlene's motor and bought another motorhome. Just racing one car this next weekend's doubleheader. Weather is looking great. Looks like Charlene and I are going to split the driving duties. Me drive an automatic? Damn! Driving a car with only 2 pedals! LOL. Should be a lot of fun. Heading to the track tomorrow. Test and tune on Wednesday. Good to get back on the track.

Bob if you have never been there before most of the stock and SS guys pit in the circle track its peacefully until everybody starts to warm up and make laps around it. Usually took me about 10 laps to get mine warm. Welcome back and good luck this week.

A few cars made runs today. Obviously the conditions affected performance as most racers were very slow. At worst today it was 89.2T 25.70BP 7576 DA. We made 2 runs an all was good. Ran 7 tenths under. In these conditions was happy with that. I'll post qualifying sheets and pictures Tommorow.
