Well we got teched and put the car back in the trailer before the storm hit. It poured rain for about 15 minutes and now we are in between showers. We are under a severe storm watch til 8 tonight. Then it looks like we will be good til Sunday.

Patsy;

Dave's right; Brian's nickname is Quack, but he's been called a lot worse than Duck! LOL

Thanks for all the "Live From...." reports!

The second round of storms are hitting now and the rain has a little bit of ice in it, let just hope the ice stays little. Damage from the first storm was limited to some sponsors awnings being damaged on the midway. Tech and credentials went smoothly for most. A lot of people were questioning the sudden increase in penalties and fines by NHRA. There was some discussion on why the new cars have a choice of four classes to run at the U. S. Nationals and the remainder of the category only has a choice of three, you know the natural class and up or down one class.

The topic that had everyone surprised was the passing of Scott Helms yesterday. Everyone that heard the news that knew Scott was shocked and saddened.

but you probably already know that,lol

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2013
 

Sorry Brian (aka Quack)! I guess someday I need to get the story behind the nickname!

It has turned into a nice night. We have been out riding around and seeing where we should have parked! There are only 3 rigs in stacking right now. Jerry Bennett is the first one in line for tomorrow, then Monty Bogan, then Ray Skillman! Parking up on the hill is a lot nicer than down here in the swamp, so the late arrivers (is that a word?) should be fine on parking.

Looks like we should have a great day tomorrow for class!
