possible live update report through the weekend ?? Thanks.

Any Drooze and Mandie sightings yet?

Mike Carr · 04-16-2010, 10:40 AM

I tuned in near the end of the session and only got to hear a few runs, didn't hear Chris' name.

Mark Yacavone · 04-16-2010, 11:59 AM

^^^^^^^ No sightings yet.... (no Drooze either) ;-)

Dam Mark ! And you cant sell that rocket ? Maybe someone will wake up and see the potential.

Larry Fulton · 04-16-2010, 12:34 PM

More than likely was for fuel, most of the time a race with multiple DQ's for the first session are for fuel, and/or weight.

Stock Q-2 is on the line now.

Due to the presence of our arch nemesis --- unforeseen circumstances.....

Drooze, Mandie and I will make Vegas, but too late to run qualifing runs..

After getting a late start due to a few minor mechanical issues, then driving day and night for nearly two days, waiting hours through traffic jams, and just about any other delaying event you can think of, as of 11:00 AM Vegas Time Drooze, Mandie and the car are still about 7 hours away....

I picked up our credentials this morning, but .....short of trying to run a rental car .... and that isn't going to happen... we won't compete this week.

We plan to drop the car/trailer tonight at the track, and will be at the track early on Saturday to try to meet everyone at least let the car's tires roll on a little Vegas asphalt, even if it just in the pits...

So then we will turn around and head back East to try to get to Indy..
