Live from SGMP
Well we made the 3 hour trip to SGMP uneventfully and were parked and ready to go out to MAMA June's for dinner. That's the best part of racing at my age. Looks like rain tomorrow we'll see.

Re: Live from SGMP
We made our annual pilgrimage to Mama June's yesterday evening and it was as good as always thanks to our great dinner guests Rusty & Theresa Cook, Rudy & Ruth Mathews and Johnny Cobb. Tonight its the Smok'n Pig, are you starting to see a theme to our racing.Right now the weather is cloudy but no rain we should be able to get through tech and possibly the scheduled T&T today.

Re: Live from SGMP
Well yesterday was an interesting day. The cold temps made it a challenge for some to get down track SC sure had trouble of course S/St was first out and some had problems also. My 1st run wasn't the prettiest run but I still managed a 10.85. The fun happened in the second run. 1 st run I was lean and it missed in high gear so I jetted up expecting a quicker pass and already too fast (10.85) the put 20 numbers in the TS thinking 2 to 1 wrong its more like 1 to 1 and I went 11.07. Now that's not a problem most of the time, my problem was the time slip said 11.07 at 106 mph WHAT. Having year's of experience driving my car you'd think I was in tune to everything happening wrong. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary but that MPH? I couldn't understand how that happened. So I started checking the engine, after much investigation the car seemed good. I still couldn't understand the MPH. So after talking with a friend he suggested the MPH was bogus I would of had to lock the brakes to kill 30 MPH. So I ran the numbers on both of Et slips and the only slow spot in the run was on the stop after the stop came off the incremental numbers where very close. The only thing I can think of is something blew thru the mph light before I got there to start the clock causing the low MPH. The car seems to be running fine and hopefully all is good. I guess we'll see this morning. Sorry for the long rant just another day at the races Things are scheduled to start at 10 Am with Jrs

Re: Live from SGMP
Phil Et seem correct MPH was wrong. I heard after my run they stopped for a little while saying the sun was screwing the timing clocks up? Well as you may know I'm done after 1st round you have to be able to run the number and I couldn't. We're hanging around to help and cheer for our friends. On a good note we went to dinner at Mom and Dads Italian restaurant with our friends Bruce and Linda Guertin. Dinner was very good and the company was excellent as always thanks. The lack of photos this weekend is do to camera issues hope to have that fixed by Gainesville .

Re: Live from SGMP
Sorry to here Marty was it a trailer or RV wheel bearing. Trailer, take the wheel off and limp on down the road for 50 miles RV now that's bad. It will take a week to fix all the stuff I need to do. Scooter had a flat so 2 new tires and tubes ( I asked for that, been running the original tires since I got it a few years ago its a(1974). It was the challenge of it. The RV needs help, its got a house battery bad I think (they're new last year)and the battery maintainer to replace.Always something needing repairs on the road Congrats to the winners and RUs S/St winner Kevin MacNicol RU Landon Neely. Kevin's on a roll RU in Orlando and a win at SGMP way to start the year SG Gene Brown RU Sherman Adcock .Gene traveled all the way from D5 what a way to make a trip pay off.SC Troy Coughlin Jr RU Michelle Furr.
