Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
i'm tempted to send my students this tread so they can get a better idea of why they should work hard and give their best effort to everything they attempt.

Thanks to all for the kind words after our win!!!
The NASCAR trip was great, the history, the cars, the racing, and an example of a real NASCAR Hemi. |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Congrats on the win! Thanks for the live reports, much appreciated.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Well it is a hot sunny day here in Charlotte in the stacking field! Not very many rigs here yet. 10 or 11 only.
We went to the Hendricks Motorsports Museum and facilities today. Very impressive! http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...20leaf/117.jpg Larry with Dale, Jr. and Jimmie Johnson's cars http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...20leaf/119.jpg I loved all the great looking trophies! http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...20leaf/121.jpg You could see thru the glass to the actual garage where they were working on the cars! http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...20leaf/122.jpg http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...20leaf/120.jpg Now I have got to find some of this Jeff Gordon wine!!! |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
A ride up to Childress Vineyards is worth it!
|
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Believe you could eat off of the floors in the shops.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
If you get the opportunity you should go to the Petty museum, it's not that far away in Randleman. You may even get to see the King. Enjoy your stay Tar Heel country!
|
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Well the stacking field is readying for vacating! Wallace and Mr. Wiggins are handing out credentials and everyone is getting their slides in and jacks up. The schedule has us going in at 11, but Billy said it would probably be around 10:30. There are only about 20 rigs here now.
More later. |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Are they parking us all on the left side of the track?
|
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Well that answers that. We are in and parked on the left side of the track. We only looked to have about 20-25 in the field before they pulled is in this morning.
|
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
We are in and parked. Come on by to see us! We are the first trailer in the row where the Hoosier trailer is. I think everything is parked that was stacked.
|
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Well looks like tomorrow will be busy parking since it doesn't look like it is very full around here yet! We went to On the Border for dinner. Really good Mexican food!
More tomorrow! |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
First there is no such thing as good Mexican food, unless you are Kevin Helms. Second how about a 3X. I found a couple of new ones for the tour guides. Third have a good time and win the race. You are on a roll.
|
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Well it looks like Kevin, RJ and my self are on the same page as far as Mexican food. Next time i go to the races i will treat.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Feed some of that stuff to RJ. Probably kill that old man.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Things are in full swing here at zMax! Tech even had coffee, juice and doughnuts this morning! Thanks!! It is pretty hot and muggy here today with a chance of pop-up showers this afternoon. Still 90 today, but tomorrow in the 80s and 70s on Sat and Sun.
Here are a couple of pics for you today: http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...eaf/001-12.jpg Jim and Pam Marshall and their darling granddaughter Ella.

Got in this afternoon, not many cars out but I did find a few. Like Patsy said the weather was hot today but it will be a little nicer tomorrow and even nicer on saturday and sunday.
Tomorrow we are suppose to be out at 8am, I will have some weather numbers for our morning shot. It will be a busy day and I will try to get a few in car cams done. Not sure if I can get stock, but super stock should not be a problem.With a small car count its hard to do the in car cam in stock when I'm racing stock. |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Good morning everyone, weather for the day..... warm and humid. Its a little cloudy now, but it looks like it will be nice day, just a little sticky.
Temp 75 Humid 64% Bar 29.18 DA 2690 Its going to be busy today, I hope to be back later with a video and some more photos. |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
The alarm stockers are up and running this morning! It should be a tenth or so faster than Bristol. I am going to try and get pics later today.
Thanks to Phil Szupka for letting us enjoy some of his Polish Blackberry Brandy yesterday! Good stuff! And thanks to Joe and Alice Tysinger for the victory wine, too! More later! |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Stock just made their first run with 55 cars going down! And it was about 2 tenths faster than Bristol since we ran a 10.35 this morning. #1 was David Barton at -1.48 under, but once again no AHFS. In my opinion (and we all know about opinions) that is just horse****. Best wheelie was Jeffrey Myers who was on the bumper!!! We will be going down again pretty quickly this morning.
More later. |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Slowed down a little on our 2nd run. At least 1 of the DQs first round was fuel for Poole-Adams. Lots of ladder playing and out of it on top end both runs. Lance Line's 10.37 in B/SA was at 106 mph!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Stock is down for the day. The showdown has Bunter beating Gary Richard and David Barton beating Dave Connolly, Barton went a 9.01@146 to Connolly
9.20@144. Barton will face Butner for the finally of the showdown. The internet connect has gotten worse. I have 4 in car cams and lots of photos. I will be back later after I'm done editing. |

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Barton over Butner for the showdown final.... Barton went a 8.99, Butner's car was not holding, it started to push and he went red.
Check back later for some cool videos and photos. |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Ken and Patsy thanks for the updates ..
Ken thanks for the photo evidence of my car being on the property. Is it broke? Or a foot cramp at 1000ft? Good luck everyone |
Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Patsy/Larry,
Nice to see y'all today. Sorry I didn't get back with Patsy and give her my camera card to download. I will post some pictures probably tomorrow, and I will mail you a disk on Monday. I had another race on the same card and didn't think you would need another 400 pictures. I'll only send stock/super stock. And I am going to post the sequence of the wheel stand that I think you were referring too. Have a good week-end and would be great to see you and Kenneth Stott in Stock Eliminator final.. Butch |

I am so sorry everyone for not posting, but the internet has been terrible all day. The weather for today although humid in the morning turned out to be nice as the day progressed. All in all it was a great day of racing, finishing off with the Factory Showdown. Barton's 8.99 was very impressive as were all the showdown cars, I would love to see more of them in the future.
The photos are random shots I took during the day. The in car cam is me driving the Cook Brothers Racing Cobra Jet. It was tough to do a stock in car cam with only 56 cars, I could not get back in lanes in time to set up a camera. I have 3 more videos and more photos, so please stay tuned... |
