Live from Columbus-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Road trip ! Thats right - off to Division Three and only God knows why -for someone who has half a dozen nice size tracks close by - well you really have to want to go .Anyone from D1 knows that you don't have to drive 425 miles to race so why would you? Guess I needed to just get away for a few days ...........I'll shoot a few pics along the way ..............

Re: Live from Columbus-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
This morning I feel like I'm at home - why you ask ? These folks here in D3 take this deal just as serious as we do - by last night the place had a zillion racers here and this morning they're lined up waiting to get in and claim their pit space .
I couldn't have picked a worse weekend to visit -- at this moment - 6:50 am the DA is already just a tick under 3500' and climbing . Don't they know this is Columbus not Denver ? Today the heat index is to be 105 -109 degrees . Larry -- While you and Patsy are off honeymooning I'll take care of "your" reporting in D3 - sooner or later we'll cross paths......... Claude - No one named Ed is with me . Joe -haven't seen the Nicewangers yet . Myron - Stop by later for a tour -fridge is working fine - I'll buy you a drink - you'll need it later . Dave - get your butte out of the house and join us . Mack -how's that loud car coming? Eric- 725 miles ? That my friend is the price of fun .And no its not Dave Barton . Dennis - I'm still carring around that chunk of aluminum thats yours - maybe I can leave it here .

Enjoy, I was sorely tempted to do the 725 mile tow to play with the new toy.... Eric

Hey, Jack,
Can't believe you show up in Div. 3 when we're not there to meet you~ Have a great time and say "hello" to our Div. 3 friends for us~ Larry & Patsy |

Re: Live from Columbus-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Hey Jack. Thanks for the great blow by blow reporting. We lost power and net Friday. We have been running on my 7000 EXL generac since then. You need to keep in mind that the track seeps water after the sun comes out following a storm such as you had this morning. Good Luck to all who have braved this hell hole. BTW Jack, do you think you will be back next year?
