Sounds like the promoters stuck it to the mopar family one more time before dumping the series.

All I heard is that one of our members was running some personal bests, broke into the 11s after a cam swap earlier this year.


Congrats Dennis! aka: 360904

--how's that new trailer working out for you!?

It rained Friday until 330. Beautiful after that. Bill Jr said there was alot of water in the air still to successfully dry the track. Not sure how that works? A lot of new bests for sure.

You are right about the new bests Rick! I had new bests twice on Saturday, and then again on Sunday in eliminations.

Yep it rained Friday and I didnt understand why they couldnt get the track dry, the pit road where we where parked was dry 30 mins after the sun came out... Then why couldn't they Tech the cars in on Friday instead of waiting till Saturday to do it all. But all in all it was a good weekend and I got to meet some of the other members here. The car ran good, I really didnt want to work on it but ended up anyhow.

I can pretty much tell you why they didn't dry the track and prep it friday afternoon/evening.....money, Charley isn't going to spend one dime more than he has to since it's his last show, he wants to walk away from this with every cent he can squeeze from it.

Yes, my car finally woke up and came to life. New best of 11.88 that's fast enough for me. Bill, Larry Smith wants to chain and lock my hood closed so I will quit messing with it. Tom, a enclosed trailer is nice and parking at your house is a blessing, thank you for that. It was a great weekend....

No problem at all. it really doesn't bother us, it's out of our way, and it's a nice, new, clean looking trailer! Good news is you can keep it there as long as you want, wife got word that her company "may not have realized the benefit to keeping talent in one place for longer" aka "maybe we shouldn't be looking to move you in the next 18-24 months because this is the largest facility in the business and there's no point to move you anywhere else"

so we may be here longer!


You stopping by today? or tonight? Today, I've gotta head over to Morrow county to pick up a load of crap, (seriously...cow crap for the garden!) then tonight we have football practice, and I think I'm going to have to go to the cub scout meeting solo now that we've volunteered to be "den leaders"

IIRC Charlie told a group of us a couple of years ago it cost about $200.00 and hour to rent a track dryer, if the track has one avaliable. That is above the cost of the track rental. Soooooo, maybe thats why!!!
