PBIR - Citrus pit report
Arrived at 12:30 pitted in the dirt patch by the racers entrance. Teched in for tomorrow then put the car away. Car count is rather low but it's still early. Present so far in SS: Wendell Howes, Denny Steward, Dave Thomas. Spent most of the afternoon getting in everyone's way & drinking David Lindsay's beer:D Doug Patrick is pitted near me (Doug, I moved from the dirt tonight, hopefully not in your way). As I headed to my truck I spotted Sid Tolson making his way in, then saw Joe Teuton & Kevin Helms rig getting situated. Kevin says Scott & Darin Summerton are on their way. George Case informs me Bucky Hess may be heading down. SS/AH could be very interesting this weekend. Dave Thomas makes 2 passes and is impressed with the surface. Joe Mialki makes 2 passes, spitting a valve on the last run. Denny Steward starts thrashing while Joe goes home to pick up another motor..looks like an all nighter for them.
Sure wished my stocker was ready.. S/SS first run tomorrow not until 1:00 Off to bed..early start tomorrow at 8:00 am (I hate mornings) first time run at 9:00..I don't wake up until 10:00 on Saturdays, will be interesting making a pass only half awake:rolleyes:. |

Re: PBIR - Citrus pit report
Jimmy, long time no speak!!! Sure wish you & Donnie Beeler could make down some day. Hope to make it back to Bowling Green soon.
Brian, Wendell is keeping Denny honest. And no, Howes isn't drinking from a coke cup, but kept boasting about the best beer north of the border "Moosehead". He didn't bring any and Denny definitely is supplying beer. I'll hit Dave up for some ice cream. The last thing I asked Joe was to bring some pizza back. Too bad it'll be cold by the time I return LOL!!! Anyway a real fun time. |
Re: PBIR - Citrus pit report
LOL Gary Wendell must have a big stick to keep Denny Honest lol, Yes Wendell is right, the best beer by far,but i have another name and it's not Moosehead, and yes Joe has the best Pizza in Town and ya to try the wings, give us a update on who went what. Later Brian

Re: PBIR - Citrus pit report
Came home about 2 hrs ago, first round casualty (lifted too early on a better RT....SUCKS!!) rain forecasted for tomorrow & too many chores to stay at the race. Car count is light in both Stk and S/S, 10 cars each. Nitro, I tried calling the track to get the tower but only a recording at the moment. I believe I have Mike Clark's cell & will try to relay your fax number to the tower girls. Picked up the 2nd time run sheets, here's the session rundown :

Re: PBIR - Citrus pit report
Hey Oakes, Joe was afraid you'd feel sorry for him about his motor woes when we were talking at the Div trailer, then Carpenter & Steward showed up... message from Denny - he's hookin' up Mialki... going to show up with a blue & white 69 Camaro that WILL run 1.5 under. Man I'm glad I'm staying away from G-Ville next week. Up to now I thought the stocker guys were brutal. Between Helms, Wahl, and Summerton, it gets pretty thick (don't listen to anything they say about me....none of it's true). Then Mialki informs me Denny is going, possibly Carpenter too, and I don't have boots deep enough to survive these guys:p.
Guess I better shut up and get to work on my damned stocker before everyone shows up at my doorstep:D. |
Re: PBIR - Citrus pit report
What me? What did I ever say? Now that "Fat Boy Helms" he's go a mouth on him! I've seen sailors walk away shaking their heads. Summerton! He can be just plain cruel! Me? No way. Jim
